Epilogue

Thank you all for joining me on this newbie journey to Negril. It has been a real pleasure to share it with you. I warned you at the outset that it would be long, but I'm not sure any of you were prepared for the marathon that was coming.

This has been an interesting exercise. I haven't written for pleasure like this in a long time and it felt really good, good like a really good long stretch. When I started the report, I hadn't planned to follow along with the days of the week. Rather by accident I posted Saturday on Saturday and the concept kind of clicked into place from there. I have enjoyed living it in real time. If you caught it in the beginning, I hope it has felt a little bit like you got an extra week away in Negril.

Mine and Sunshine's story really did unfold together. Rest assured I did have his permission to be in the report. Though he had never really been to Negril.com, he has been lurking about since I started this report. Your response to my efforts has left him with him with nothing but the highest praise for the community that gathers here.

If your travels to Negril correspond with ours, I sincerely hope our paths will cross. Should you spot us on our wanderings, help a shy girl out and say hello. PM me if you don't want to rely entirely on luck crossing our paths.

I will keep posting as our countdown gets into the single digits. I want to tell you all about how we plan to do nothing on this trip. The title of our next trip might be 'Brought to you by Negril.com.' The board's influence is woven all through our plans.

Leaving Negril is no fun, but with my ticker just inches away from single digits, the long wait to return is almost done. I can say two things about the waiting game. Red Stripe is not the same when you have to carry it through a snow bank to get it home. Same goes for tropical fruit.

Soon come Negril, soon come.
