I've got to find my way back, back to summer paradise - Nov 2011 Trip Report

[CherryNorth49]

awesome report!! I'm even more excited about going.... about this time in two weeks I should be drinking my 1st or 2nd rum punch! Will definately look for you - Seastar on the 1st?

I have already emailed about booking my tickets. Do I remember you posting at some point that you were starting out at Catcha? If that is the case, we will likely see you at Ivan's, as we are checking in to Catcha on the 1st. I figured on just being able to walk up the lane to the show.

I am sure you will enjoy it!

No, we were in a gardenview room. It turns out thoug that there are 4 gardenview rooms that just by virtue of the layout of the resort actually have a bit of an ocean view. They are all on the second floor, facing towards the main pathway through the resort. The actual oceanview rooms all face directly onto the beach. There are three second floor rooms that have great big patios. There are also 3 or 4 that have no balcony at all, just a slidding glass door that opens to a railing. The main floor ocean view rooms have steps right down onto the sand.

Here is an airport tip for hungry people. After you check in your luggage and before you go through the security, exit the the airport entrance and head over (maybe 50 yards away) to the area where the buses and taxis pick up people that are leaving the airport. You can buy a few patties (beef, cheese, vegetable etc) and something cold to drink for a last taste of Jamaica. We stop here when arriving and when leaving.

Regards,

Bob

Thanks Bob, that is a great tip! I would much rather my last meal in Jamaica be a couple of patties. I won't mindone bit if this was the one and only time I ate at BK on the island.

Cherry - We get in on the 1st - to Catcha I emailed also, but on facebook they said we could just get them at the gate. I was a little worried they would sell out.

Thank you Cherry for the trip report! And thank you for actually finishing it It was enjoyable to read from start to finish - I can't wait for your next one, I just hope you don't wait so long to write it! We still have just under 4 weeks to go and I need something to pass the time!

Great report, it was a pleasure reading it, I'm still growing some balls to write mines.

Cherry be glad that's all you witnessed during the elections. We arrived on December 9, 2011 and got stuck behind the 'green party' caravan traveling to Lucea. Must have been 500 cars at least. We landed in MoBay around 2 pm but didn't reach Negril til 7 or so.
