Hi! I am a new Boardie

[holly]

Hey there boardies,
just want to introduce myself. i have been lurking on here for a couple weeks, and then it took 3 days to actually be able to post. my name is holly, i am from arlington hts il. i am staying at coco la palm 11/25-12/3. i haven't been in negril for about 9-10 years so i am hoping it will be as great as i remember. i am not as much of a partier as i used to be, so not sure i could handle a pub crawl , but i am interested in meeting some of you who will be there. if anyone is interested in renting a bike and maybe mountain biking, let me know- i would love some company. i will probably go biking on most mornings up to the cliffs, and maybe do a guided tour. i can't wait to get there! just 4 work days left....

Hi Holly! Welcome to the boards.

We are on our way to Negril on the 24th for two weeks. We will be getting married at Cocolapalm on the 28th

Staying at Catcha for the first week and then move to Coco on December 1st. Most of our guests are staying at Coco the week of the 24th. They are all booked up so you should have lots of people to meet.

The Pub Crawl is a great time, you don't have to be a drinker to enjoy it!

Can't say I'd be brave enough to try biking on those roads, but will be doing some running to prepare for the Reggae Marathon.

See you soon!
Rina

Hi and welcome Holly . I am from Beloit WI and will be arriving in Negril Nov 27- Dec 4 staying at SeaSplash. You will love CoCo, we stayed there a few years ago. We are doing the pub crawl Friday Nov 30th. We went last year and had a blast and I didn't drink at all. It is a great way to see a lot of neat places on the cliffs and meet nice people. Consider going even if you aren't a big drinker. We have been going to Negril for over 10 years and it is the same. Places come and go a bit but it is just like coming home after a long absence.

The crawl is great with a ting or a red stripe. Great way to introduce yourself to the west end.

I'll be running the Half Marathon not the Full ....... I've decided that only crazy people run full marathons :P. The Half is my favorite distance, hoping I'll be okay to complete it. Broke my foot a couple of months ago and haven't been able to do much running in the last while.

We are thinking of doing the Pub Crawl on the Monday instead of the Friday as that is the day before the run.
