    So good to get to know you better. I've been following your plans for this trip for quite a while via TA. Of course, no idea of what you and your love have been battling until now. I DO hope the trip was wonderful and helped heal and fill up your cups and that it is truly all uphill from now on.

    I'm so looking forward to the rest of your report.

    Belated happy birthday girl!!

    We had a 7am flight to Toronto, so we set the alarm for 4:40 AM. The radio came on and "Me and Bob Marley" was playing. This was played a lot in the summer, but I hadn't heard it in months. I knew instantly this was going to be a good trip.

    A short hop to Toronto and our flight to MoBay was on time We landed a little early, at 2 PM. After a short wait for a plane to come out of the back of the terminal, we pulled in to our gate and stepped off the plane at 2:15 PM. There is nothing like that first blast of warm Jamaican air... As we were getting off the plane, I realized I had Mr. Nutz sign his customs form on the wrong line, OOPS! After quickly filling out a new form, we got in the line for immigration which wasn't too bad. The immigration hall was maybe 1/2 full and 2/3 of the counters were open. Within about 5 minutes, the line was up the ramp; for once our timing was good LOL. Next thing we know, they're opening the remaining booths and start a new line, ushering us to the new line. WOW! We grabbed our luggage, which was already waiting when we got through, cleared customs and were standing outside the airport at 3 PM!

    We booked Rocky for our transfers this trip, and he was there waiting for us. He handed us a couple of Red Stripes and headed off for the vehicle. The airport was very busy that day, it was absolute chaos. We just stood there, drank our beer and took it all in. We were finally back in Jamaica!

    We made a quick stop at the Mega Mart for a few things and off to Negril. I really do love that drive; it went quickly and we arrived at Catcha just after sunset. I didn't get any pictures of the sunset that night, and it was probably the nicest one we saw this trip.

    We had originally booked Virgo, but had changed to Coral as soon as they'd posted pictures. All I can say is WOW!

    I quickly unpacked and we headed to Ivan's for some drinks and dinner. Keneisha & Kevin were working the bar that night, so we ate dinner at the bar. We shared the plantain wrapped shrimp (yummy) and a lobster pasta which was really tasty, but the lobster was a little tough. We were both tired, it had been a long day, so we headed back to the room to make it an early night. Well, that didn't happen, the porch got us We decided to have a night cap , which turned into several and, before we knew it, it was 11:30. Gotta love that porch!

    Coral, is that a new room? I don't see it on their website?

    It is the new room (along with Sun which is above Coral). On their home page, it's the last one on the list on the right hand side...

    Anyway, I'm glad you still enjoyed yourselves. What a wonderful idea those pub crawl t-shirts were! Thoughts and prayers will be with you and Mr. Nutz on Monday!
    I think the foliage has a lot to do with it, there's also more of a breeze on the cliffs. I didn't get many sand flea bites this trip which is unusual for me Thank you for the well wishes

    I can imagine how rough it has been for you two since the diagnosis, so I am very happy that you had this wonderful time together.
    Fingers crossed for Monday. XO Lori

    Catcha is magical. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have!
