Sweetie Pie wants to know, what's the cheesiest Negril tourist activity?

[Guirigay]

my wife and have been to Dunns-Ricks-M Ville-Booby Cay-Distillery, and many many other...dont really regret any of them..
after all we are tourists right??

what is more tourist'y than standing along the road at a Jerk Stand???
We are spending money correct??
Have Fun..do what YOU feel...who knows...when your last trip may be????

Merry Christmas

I'm with you Rambo, I hit a lot of the tourist must do's as well. There's usually a reason a lot of people go to them. I am a fan of cheese in a certain quantity. Really appreciate your last comments given the St Louis Sally situation. We will do all in fun, with best intentions and respect.

Agree with Rambo! It's all good........I recall my very first visit with cheesy fond memories. LOL Even after many trips, I actually enjoy seeing that first time glow while walking about. Always brings a smile to mi face. (Yeah, weak effort on patois but at least an effort is made to try to learn)

I love catching people in kind of wide eyed wonder. Our trip last February is a fondue of memories.

Going out to the yard and doing our own laundry.

Except we dry them on the line in the sun. They smell really nice.

I'll hang my suit and towel out on the rail Cap, I air my laundry in different fashion.

I always get a kick out of the big tour bus full of AI peeps pulling in to Times Square For the Two Hour "Shopping Tour"......

Maybe you can give me a heads up when they roll in Doc!

Going to Ricks and not knowing enough patois to hear they are calling you Lobster and Steak!
Also paying a fortune for a 6oz dirty banana.
I really hate Ricks

Ricks is naturally beautiful, a great dive spot and awesome for people watching. Not much there for me beyond that but it's enough for a visit now and then I think. Still, I understand your sentiment. I get called a lobster wherever I go...

Hang at Margaritaville wearing Hawaiian shirts and khaki shorts and no tan. Drink boatloads of Bahama Mamas (not quite sure what those are) and speak really loudly, in fact you can just sort of yell when you aren't slurring and pepper your sentences with Ya mon and fist bump every J'can you spy with "Respect, mon". A few braids with beads pasted on couldn't hurt. And cheesy bright colored plastic sunglasses. Oh you could throw on one of those hats with built in dreadlocks for good measure. That should do it. Or you could just go to Margaritaville.

Thanks for putting so much thought into this Rebecca! It's like you were trying to frame a shot or something. Very spot on.

I like going to Rick,s and Margaritaville, but I guess I am cheesey.

You're not cheesy PGW, you're drunk! Hey, let's go to Margaritaville!! And I mean that... The let's go to Margaritaville part. Let's go. Well maybe the you're drunk part too...

I know some people who find Seastar drummers and dancers cheesy. To each their owñ. I want to see Guirigay braided and beaded. I got 1000J for your Negril charity choice Guiriguy, if you post the video!!

Thanks Don, way to back me into a corner. Like you could pull out some junior high like dare and get me to do something stupid. Like that would ever work.

I sometimes shake my head when I see that ultra cheezie tourist in Margeritaville or at Rick's. Having said that, we're bringing newbies this reach and will almost certainly do the Rick's thing again despite my thoughts on the place.

I wear a wide brimmed hat and a fanny pack for my camera etc.. Just gotta have lots a pockets and don't really care what anyone thinks about my stupid looking hat (its functional). No stupid backwards ball cap or "pants on the ground" for this guy (not that there's anything wrong with that).

I'm getting a new panama hat for this trip, should cheese things up nicely. Hope you have a nice trip Craig, gonna see your friend?

I think the absolutely cheesiest/ cliche thing I see tourists do is smoke ganja in public ie.. light up at a bar. That and the mall shopping trip runs second equal ranked with trying to speak half azzed patois.
I personally really enjoy jumping at Ricks, occasionally I get hassled by a new jumper until they find out how cheap I am but usually I am sitting over on their side and technically not at a table at Ricks bar and I am certainly not paying Rick's prices for drinks over there so maybe I am biased.

I'm guilty of a LOT of Yah Mon's when I'm in Jamaica. Beyond that not much but I probably still would be caught pattering now and then about something. The bar thing? for me only certain ones. I've been to Times Square only once and it was not busy.

Getting off topic. Its all about Guirigays need for cheese. I challenge all boardies to match a 1000J donation to his Negril charity of choice if he gets his hair braided and beaded and publishes a video of the event on Negril.com forum. Maybe he could get it done at Margarittaville or Ricks while lighting up at the bar!

You're relentless. Like you can just manipulate me so easily. Ridiculous...

As I grown woman, I think this is kind of cheesy: When the waves are high and crashing on the shore, I stand out in the water about waist deep and let the waves toss me around. It's the funnest thing in the world and I could do it for hours!
The hair braiding (for Guirigay) is also good idea. Now that would be a cheese fest!

You LIKE the hair braiding idea Maryann? Hmmmmm....

We loved Times Square. Hassel free browsing and an ATM.

Completely different vibe from the craft market with many of the same items. I think I'd REALLY like something in between the two...

Walking around in public wearing the hat with fake dreads is BY FAR the cheesiest tourist activity, IMO. It's also kind of insensitive, if you ask me.

That's exactly why I would never go out like this...

I'm in on the 1000j to charity for the braiding and beading video.

I think locking yourself away in an AI is a bit cheesy, but I don't want that one to win, I don't think Sweetie Pie would be happy locked in an AI. How would the strays get their biscuits?

No AI for Sweetie Pie, we're headed out shooting again this trip. So you like MaryAnn's idea about hair braiding?

I can think of alot. But it's your vacation do as you please !

C'mon Biggs! That's just I giant tease come from an old timer like you! Throw a dog a bone or two...
