By this point, I had ‘sub sandwich’ supplies placed in strategic points in Negril on both the Beach and Cliffs to make things easier and to avoid being part of a future episode of “Locked Abroad.” I do believe Jamaica is the only country where it’s easy to do this, thanks to a ready supply-and-demand combined with my relatively easy knack for making friends.

At Seasplash, the clouds were getting darker, and just as I suspected my Negril phone rang. It was Famous Vincent announcing he could not pick me up quite yet because of the weather, and I understood. That’s why you should always get in as many activities as soon as possible on a tropical vacation because you never know what can happen with the clouds; you want to protect your 3k investment, right?

The rain started as I made my way up the hill. I stopped in to chat with Bobo, then it really started coming down, so I had to race back to Seastar Inn before gerryg123 got washed away. It’s OK. I love the rain in Negril.
