Trip Report - Saying Goodbye and Giving Thanks

[bjritz]

Wpyogi, I’m just catching up on this fast moving report, and so delighted to do so. This is just great, love your inner dialog on the trip, you really get into Negril!

Your shots are wonderful. The one of you, sunset and sailboat is amazing. The look back from out in the wata is so fine. The Xtabi ones are breaking my heart, and setting desire firm to return. I like the one of the thunderhead out west taken from #1’s platform; very nice…you’re better than you seem to think.

Top notch parrot vid! Wow! The +1 first person jumper movie, dynamite!

Great snorkel trip; that chop came up fast. Hey, that canon is big bamboo!

I so love this fun and funny report. This is fabulous, more please!

Xtabi baby, you know it's true! Henry's conch burger, damn! The snorkeling pics are insane, almost looks like a sea spout getting ready to set down behind you in that one shot. Keep it up!

Just caught up with your report. I am loving every minute! The video of the parrots was awesome, I bet they were a blast to watch with a cold red stripe in hand. Can't wait to be back at Xtabi in February. Keep it coming

[*vi*]

I love love love chickenfootsoup! Would only have it 3-4 times a year when my aunt visited because my mom refused to fix it. Bet the look on +1's face was priceless when he lifted that prize from the bottom of the cup. Patiently waiting for more report...

Spottycatz!! That's very sweet. Yup, we like to glide through the days and see where it takes us, lol! The first round is on me as soon as I spot you in April.

Poolguy - LOL funny how "a" beer usually turns into "a" hangover.

Tizzy - Nooooooo! You fill that bikini out better than i do, lol!

Bjritz - Yes, I think Jamaica fits me well You should join in on the craziness in April. There should be some fun boardies at Xtabi. Well, I know of at least 2

I think +1 took that shot of me in the sunset, LOL. Can't take credit for that one.

LOL! Big Bamboo! Why didn't I think of that?!

Gurigay - Oh yeah, I have a conch burger the next morning for breakfast! A sea spout? Is that what tornado looking clouds are called in the Caribbean? Whatever...it was spooky.

GGram - Blue Hole is a cool little day trip not far from Negril. I've always wanted to go. Maybe next time because Sandy threw a wrench in our plans.

T&A - Yes, those parrots were so cool. Sad - one must have fallen out of the tree a few days later. +1 found it and had the gardener (not brown....the other one...i forget his name) take care of him. He was still alive but not going to make it Say hi to the Omar's for me in February.

*vi* - hahahaha, yup! The look was priceless!

So we say our goodbyes to the crowd and Grace at Tony's Hut. I gave everyone Lenbert's contact information and advised that we should have a serious hurricane party. The rain let up and it was turning out to be a beautiful evening. So we hit the beach for a stroll and ended up at...............

None other than the Sunnyside! Robert was working and we had to have "a" beer with him! We took a swim and settled in to watch the sunset.



As you can tell by my eyes, we are on operation mind erase mode again.



After sunset, we order up 2 roadies, say "until next time" to Robert, and head out to grab a cab. On our way to the road we run into this cutie and hang out for a bit.



It reminds me that I have our pups collars and leashes in my bag to drop off at Moonlight Villa. So we make a stop there before home.

Back at Xtabi, we decide to see if the bar is open. There was a pretty good crowd! After a few rounds we decide to get cleaned up and head to DeBar. +1 apparantly kicked off his shoes at the bar and walked back to our room barefoot because we had to go on a shoe hunt the next day, LOL.

[wpyogi]

Off to Eddie's DeBestBar. The night is a little foggy and about to get foggier! Small crowd tonight. We get comfy and order some chicken for dinner. That reminds me, I forgot to ask Trevor how he makes that granny sauce. Oh well, I guess I will just have to go back!

After we eat and consume more beer, Trevor says he will teach me how to play dominos. For fun, mon! +1 sits out...he's too skeared. Those boys play fast! It takes me for-EVER to make my play. Laughs are going around...not AT me but WITH me, lol.



Well, whatda you know. The slow-playin newbie has a streak of beginners luck and whoops everyone's arse!! The kid in the white t eventually gets pissed and leaves the party. Sorry



My winning streak doesn't last long....especially after Eddie sits down to play, lol! Those boys have some brother domino code... Who cares, I am having a BLAST!



I am not sure what time we called it a night….3ish maybe. Good effing times, mon. The BEST night of the trip I would say. Eddie and Trevor took care of us, and I never leave that place without a busted gut because I have laughed so hard.

And here it is. THE look. The look of finally downloading from all the BS. The look of yeah, this is why I love this place. The true look of You....nothing to cloud the light. Hahaahh, this picture cracks me up!



After we get home we have a chat with Omar just inside the security gate again. I KNOW it was a great chat...I just can't remember the details. It was our last chat with Omar Oh well, I guess I am just going to have to go back again!
