Negril is better than ever! I am here, and I am having a GOOD time!

When I read your story above it brought me back to that very same feeling I had when I realized exactly WHAT I was doing in Negril to begin with. For me though its about the clarity I gain there - no outside noise, very little computer/internet, no TV...no distractions - that help me deal with my "issues" in a more productive way. I'm not sure exactly when I had this revelation...many years ago....

I can't tell you how many times I've extended my trip (I have a friend that one year extended like three times, turning her two week vacation into four!) Sometimes you are just not ready to go. Literally. In 2009 I figured out how stupid I was to book my flight out a day after a huge "party week", so even before I found myself painted into a corner I extended for another week.

"Negril gives me a chance to overdo it a bit in relative anonymity and without putting myself in too much risk or danger."

I think we've all felt that way at one point or another...this is still a relatively new experience for you. But do continue to be careful and take care. Negril is a small town and anonymity doesn't last too long. I can't tell you how many times I've been involved in conversations with locals "gossiping" about the "crazy tourist". Have fun and take care.
