DAY SIXTEEN:
I woke up really early with a stomach ache... anxiety about leaving. This happens every trip... on top of the usual post-JA depression I usually spend a few days feeling sick to my stomach. There was also a lot of noise that morning as people returned from the Vybz Kartel show. I slept on and off until around 730. I got up to finish packing and went for a walk on the beach. I had my last breakfast at White Sands and said goodbye to everyone. Clives arrived to take me back to the airport.

FINAL THOUGHTS:
As always this was a great trip. Every trip is different, but none have ever disappointed! I always say that Jamaica makes me feel "raw". I feel everything so much more intensely when I am there, both good and bad. I feel more myself there than I do even at home. I can't explain why, but it is one of the things that draws me back.

RANDOM NOTES:
- There was much talk about if the world was going to end on the 21st of May... it didn't but I could not have been in a better place it it had.
- I was only offered drugs 3 times.... I don't know what is going on I don't do any drugs, but it was strange to not be offered... someone told me I look like a Judge or Cop.
- There is a strange joy in getting a little drunk and realizing you are still in your bathing suit at 8pm (and not caring).
- While I do many of the same things every trip, there are constantly new little adventures and discoveries that pop up!

So that is it... the end of my first ever trip report. Thanks for bearing with me and listing to my stories. I enjoyed reliving my trip and I am excitedly counting down to my next trip. I hope to meet many more of you... don't be a stranger... I'll be the one reading in the shade at White Sands
