First trip to Negril - Travel Report : Coco La Palm - DAY 5

[Clarity]

Eventually we said our goodbyes to the group and headed downstairs to get some drinks at the bar area.

That was when I spotted Rob and Lisa filming the webcast in the back.

“Look! There's Rob and Lisa!” I said

“Why don't you go say “hi”?”, Markus asked giving me an encouraging nudge

“No, They look really busy.” I said shaking my head “Besides what am I going to say? 'uh, hi there.. I like your webcasts...'”

“Well yeah!”

I started walking in their direction, then I lost my nerve. I turned around quickly and walked back. “I'll bug them when they're less busy”, I said pushing him towards the bar “lets get a drink first...”

“You're never going to go over there, are you? You're too shy!” He teased

“No, I will, you'll see!”

We sat down at the bar and ordered some drinks. One girl that looked just like Shellyk leaned across the bar to order a drink and disappeared again into the sea of people. I thought to myself, man.. I need to be more pro active about introducing myself to other boardies...Everyone had helped us so much in planning our trip. This is really silly.

Suddenly a man appeared behind me that I did recognize immediately. He smiled.



Rasta Stan!
Such a cool guy!

We all chatted a bit, then the Seastar drummers came on




While that performance was going on another woman came to sit next to me and order a drink.

“Hey are you guys on your honeymoon?”, She asked

“Actually we're celebrating our 9 year wedding anniversary”, I said

“You guys look just like newlyweds!”, She said

I blushed “haha! Thanks.. I'm Daisy!”

“Nice to meet you! I'm Gail”

We chatted for a while. She's on Negril.com – can't remember what her screenname is, but if you are reading this.. it was so great meeting you too!

At that point, Luciano entered the stage. We all crowded around cheering



The concert was amazing! Everyone dancing in a mass and moving to the music. His performance was incredible and I was so caught up in the excitement of it. It felt so surreal to be there in Jamaica at that moment seeing Luciano live , I just took it all in and felt so grateful that I could experience this.

His performance of “Legalize it” was particularly memorable.

That's where it got all blurry for me and I'll just leave it at that without any further explanation.

So Gerry123 you're in luck and in the clear... This chica here can't remember much of what happened after that point. It's all a blur of meeting new people, laughing and dancing... I'm sure I met some more of you reading this trip report right now and don't even know it!

Markus says that after the show, I shook hands with Luciano and he even gave me a kiss on the cheek Lucky me! Our camera died halfway through the show - I wish that was captured on film.

Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to chat with Rob and Lisa that night. That's my only regret. Next time I will get over my shyness and just say “hey!”

I remember the ride back was pretty wild, Music was blasting and we were swirving around the cliffs while the group in the van cheered.

When we returned to Coco La Palm we tried out the fancy Jacuzzi in our honeymoon suite
It was truly the perfect night...

Sadly our trip would be coming to an end soon

only one more day in Negril...

Day 6 coming very soon
