Re: Trip Report January 2012 Honeymoon in Heaven!
The Evening at the Jamaican Jazz and blue's festival was a lot of fun. the place was PACKED!! I wouldn't even wanna guess how many people were there, all the seats on the north side of the stadium were full and as far back as you could see there where people as well! It really was standing room only, now if you watched the news report that I posted last page, you would have seen how CRAZY the traffic was getting there. We were very lucky however, as we were there when the gate opened first thing so we got into the venue quickly and found seats easily. We were totally unaware of the melee outside, that was until the end of the concert. We wandered out of the stadium at the end after walking through some of the souvenir shops selling their wares some specifically for the JJBF, and some just regular Jamaican souvenirs you can pick up all over the island. We made our way out and around to the south side of the stadium where we had arranged to meet Latoya from Joe Cool Taxi, it was a total MOB! There was a dance party going on outside as someone had brought in a massive wall of speakers and people were dancing, drinking and partying! I was honestly just concerned with going to bed, the last week of wedding planning, cooking, partying, flights, more partying, hot sun, and beach had me EXHAUSTED!!! And all I wanted was a bed!!! This however wouldn't happen for quite awhile, as the traffic that had kept people from making the show, had everyone not able to leave. As well people had parked in the middle of the road all the way into the stadium, on the highway, EVERYWHERE! Roads were impassable, We were out of the concert at about 1:30 or so and we did not get underway for almost 3 hours! we didn't leave the parking spot for almost 2.5 hours! When we finally did get moving, it was total stop and go rushhour traffic til we were just outside of Montego bay. We stopped for fuel, drinks and some munchies at a gas station and were back on the road again, we finally arrived home at 6:30 or 7 am! It was to be our last day in Negril, there was only one problem...... I was too exhausted to do anything! We hit the hay and slept! About 3 hours later we will ourselves up and pushed ourselves back up to take in what would be our last day in Negril
