    Re: October Trip Report Catcha and Swept Away

    Sorry for the delay! Before we land I tell my wife, go to the little girls room now (after 30 years of marraige I know she will wait until it's time to get in line at imigration) so off she goes and finally it happened! We touched down in the promised land, the land of fun, sun and some hot vacation mattress mambo. We get off the plane number 2 & 3, I tell the wife that she has to keep up that i want to get through Customs & Imigration fast, that I have a date with destiny (and thats not the hooker by burger king!) in negril, she just about has to jog to keep up with me. We hit the lines for imigration and I see the prettiest picture I have ever seen, the wife and I are the only ones in the area! literally 4 minutes later we have our luggage in hand, head over to the Couples Lounge to let them know we have a private ride, get 2 or 5 free red stripes and head out to find the driver. As soon as we round the corner out the front door there is a sign with our names on it and a big smile from Presley. In the van, cold Red Stripes on ice courtesy of Rocky's Taxi & Tour (sorry for the commercial endorsement!) and off we go. The drive is great, we were asked if we wanted to stop but romance soon began to take over and all we wanted to do was get there. An hour later the gates to the most beautiful resort open and we are greeted by the security guard at Catcha with a smile. The first thing we hear is Mr & Mrs Regan we have been waiting for you! I could have died at that point and I would have been happy, my wife was stunned and said "what have you done or said to get this reception?" She knows me all to well, all i said is that I have been working on this for a number of months and they knew we would be arriving. Off to the desk and a welcome from Mauvette. When she looks up all she says is Mr. Regan it's a pleasure to finally meet you and she proceeds to give me a BIG hug! Did I mention that I love Mauvette? She is the greatest and I can't wait to get back to visit her again. I ask about paperwork or what I need to do, she laughs and said no need, let me show you to your cottage. As we walk she tells my wife how we have been talking for awhile and she gives me some big props, by this time the wife is blown away and I have now scored some brownie points and some crazy wild _______, just fill in the blank with your imagination! mauvette takes us to Ivan's to introduce us to Ty (one of the greatest bartenders of all time) and to Barbara the Manager then we head over to our cottage.Once we get to Sagi and get the quick tour Mauvette asks to speak with me outside, she tells me that there is a slight chance for rain and that they have all prayed that it doesn't hit because they have a special area set up for us that night for the 100 candle dinner. Hugs again and many thanks passed to her and she tells me to have fun, and let them handle everything.

    I head into Sagi, my wife is already in her bikini, I get the best damn kiss ever and she says "I can't believe you have spent this much time for me, what else do you have planned? " I tell her it's a surprise but let's let nature take it's course. Quickly I get changed, we head to the bar, it has been about 45 minutes since we had drinks ya know, I ask Ty to make us some rum punches in our big 24 ounce Tervis cups and we settle in to a few loungers in a private area. Drinks are killer and I decide right away it's time to jump off into the water.

    Damn, work just got in the way again, sorry, more to follow

    Re: October Trip Report Catcha and Swept Away

    Back again, so I'm ready to jump off the cliff (next to the hot tub) and decide after drinking for 18 hours that I should dive! As a 51 yr old out of shape former tennis pro with numerous injuries and coming off a serious leg injury most people would say NOT A GOOD IDEA! But as I mentioned earlier, I'm a Professional so no worries, hit the water perfectly, climb the ladder and do it 3 more times. Now my wife is crying she is laughing at me so hard so i tell her to jump in. I love my wife to death but she is scared of heights, has digitally enhanced breasts and has to plug her noce when she goes under water so i was nervous. I jumped in one more time so i could be close to "help" even though my wife is in killer shape being a yoga instructor she just isn't a great swimmer. She stands on the ledge and tries to jump for 5 minutes while I tread water, finally I just yell and she jumps holding her nose and boobs, as soon as she leaves the edge both arms begin to flail and a scream comes out. She hits the water fine, goes under for a second and comes up with water coming out of her nose and mouth. Now I get revenge by laughing at her, help her to the ladder and thought i woas losing all the brownie points I earned earlier by now laughing at her, but no! She wants to jump again, only this time a little lower. after swiming for a long time we head back to the bar, a couple of more rum punches for me and a few very large vodka for my wife we hit the loungers for some relaxation.

    As I sit there all I can think about is this place is the bomb, I kinda of wish we had stayed here the entire time and weren't moving the next day. I mean think about it, I get there and don't have to sign any paperwork, I go to the bar and order drinks, no bill or signature, Ty keeps saying no problems mon, it's handled and i can act like a kid by jumping from cliffs. I start to doze off when a young man of maybe 25 comes over and asks if i had jumped off the high cliff by the corner of Sagi & Ivan's, I sat up and looked at my wife and she says, "yes honey you can go play with the young man, JUST DON"T KILL YOURSELF TODAY". off I go to watch him make a few jumps and think about the last time I jumped from this high, back 15 years ago at the Pickled Parrot, now I think it's the Rockhouse Resort. After a little more liquid courage it's my turn, I get to the edge and never hesitated and jump jumped right off the wall. What a rush and I even got applause from some people that began to watch. I jumped about 5 more times before i decided it was time to stop pressing my luck. No kids, please don't try this at home, the stunt was performed by a professional (LOL) and I don't recommend anyone jumping after they have been drinking but it's so damn fun!

    Back to my better half in the lounger and we decide to go off in search for some "stuff" and a trip to the store across from Catcha. We buy a few things, I get a bottle of scotch for my room at CSA and we are walking back to Catcha when I get approached by someone needing a little money. Did I mention it's been 15 years since we were in jamaica? Well thats the last time we had a good "sub" as well, work, kids, and the stress of life doesn't allow us to partake in the US. I give him $20.00 and in turn I ask for some local vegitation, all of a sudden this pulls out a rusted machete and we think we are now dead. I push my wife behind me and this guy starts to laugh, the security guard at Catcha jumps out and starts to yell at the guy and he (the locacl) said to me, hold this for me while I run down the road, I'll be back in 5 minutes. I send my wife across the street right away, the security guard lets her in and yells to me to come back across the street. He yells at me about this and said not a good idea, I stand on the street for 15 to 20 minutes, yes a 51 year old middle age guy holding a rusted machete and everyone is looking at me by this time as the fool who just fell off the turnip truck. I drop the machete, lick my wounds and head back into the property, mentioning if the guy shows back up come get me, knowing that I'm dreaming. As I'm walking back to the room another "guest"entioned that they were going home and i could have their leftover sub since they couldn't travel with it. Overjoyed I have an extra bounce in my step and get to Sagi. My wife is fired up about our new possession and is ready to get the romance on, she was impressed that I pushed her behind me when the machete came out and we got hysterical laughing about the entire situation. Enjoy some sub, get a little matress mambo on, and she asks what we are doing for dinner. It's about this time that the weather looks like it might rain and I'm getting nervous, Barbara comes around the corner and said Mauvette wanted to speak with me. I thought maybe the guy came back (LOL) and i was going to get yelled at, but Barbara knows that the dinner is a surprise and wants to tell me that they feel positive that the rain is not going to hit and she is ready for us in an hour, sunset was not really going to look good because of the clouds. I thank her and head back. I tell my wife it's time to get ready for dinner, she again questions me but no answers given, the anticipation is killing both of us. I also know that once she has seen what I scheduled that I'm golden for weeks in the romance department. We shower outside in the greatest outdoor shower ever, a large Cat cruise comes by and they honk & we wave in all our glory and proceed to get dressed for dinner, my hot wife in a little sexy dress and of course me in shorts, t-shirt and no shoes.

    When we walk around the corner to the hostess stand they welcome us, my wife see's all the candles and said , wow look, points to the bluff that has all the candles and said that is so romantic. The hostess grabs my wifes hand and said that is for you sweetheart and my wife wraps her arms around me and I get another legendary kiss. She has a few tears, I puff out my chest as everyone is looking at us and now I know I hit a homerun. Dinner for what I remember of it was spectacular, the entire process was to die for, yes it's expensive but for once in a lifetime experience it is worth every cent you might spend. The waitress (I'm so sorry i don't remember her name, not sure why if it was the 16 drinks, the sub or now the bottle of champagne) knew exactly when to show up and when to give us room. I could not have asked for a better time that night had it been scripted by a writer, the wife was stunning, the food was spectacular and the setting was un-freaking believable. Guys, If you have never done something like this for your special lady try it, you will thank me later, this was just the most romantic thing I have ever done for my wife and she couldn't stop talking about it the rest of the vacation.

    Once dinner was done I realized I had been up for over 39 hours with no sleep, that i had been having cocktails for 24 of those hours and my body was crashing hard. We went back to Sagi where the candles we lit, my wife changed into something special and I fell sound asleep before she made it out of the bathroom! HAHAHAHAHAHA She said she poked, prodded, slapped and did many other things to get me to wake up but no, stick a fork in me I was done.

    Day two and the move to Swept Away next!
