I hope you have a good time! And I look forward to hearing more! No one has ever asked me to buy a shell on the beach. Only been to Negril three times, though. We just spend our time sitting in the shade on the beach and walk and walk. No one seems to bother us. We love the beach in Negril, any time. Guess we have the hand wave of no down pat. But then my husband travels all over the world, and he says Negril is nothing compared to other places. When I visited him in Hong Kong this past March, man the hawkers were relentless. And I paid them no mind. I love the shore in Negril. And I don't let the passers-by interrupt my time. Although this last time, I did flag down the bread and juice guys and the fruit lady. I loved that we were able to get what we wanted, when we wanted while we were sitting in our spot on the beach. I found the roving vendors to be respectful. I hope I returned the sentiment. It is all good.
