Thanks for all of the positive responses! I'm trying to get the report cranked out as quickly as possible.

Won't be long before you'll find out where we came up with the title of the report. Don't get too excited though.

PGW....Too bad we just missed you. It would have been nice to meet another boardie.

Smokin Kevan.... We LOVE the castle! We have an even greater appreciation of it after this trip....a little more on that to be reported yet........

It's another easy going morning at the castle. We skip breakfast and decide to do an early lunch instead.

We take to the street and head to Chicken Lavish which was on our to do list last year but we never made it. Beth Ann orders a Rum Punch and I stick to Red Stripe. Beth Ann takes a sip of her Rum Punch and I can tell by the look on her face that it's a strong one. This drink was beyond strong. It was basically overproof with a splash of something red.

As we watch the passersby coming and going on the busy street we start to hear the song “Gangnam Style” playing in the distance. Beth Ann and I look at each other wondering where it was coming from as the music grows louder and louder. Soon we see a large pickup come into view. Inside the truck blaring ”Gangnam Style” was an old rasta. Beth Ann and I were nearly in tears laughing at this site as we were not expecting this to be the source of the music. Our fried chicken arrives and it did not disappoint. Beth Ann continues to sip at her drink long after our meal in order to maintain the motor skills needed to navigate the road back to our room.

Later on we meet back up with the gang to go to Canoe. Since this was the last day in Negril for most of our new friends group photos were in order. One thing lead to another and before we knew it other guests were joining in on the photos while another guest comes running from his room to play photographer.

In the meantime someone had arranged for a driver with a van big enough to carry us all down the road. There was some safety concerns about traveling by foot in our current state so it was probably a good call.

We arrive at Canoe and the place is packed with guests enjoying their Valentines Day dinner. Our group quickly splits up as some head to the bar and others head for Rob's camera to make contact with loved ones watching for them at home. I secure a table but the evening turns out to be more of a drinking event so we give it up to others who would like to enjoy a meal. In the meantime we had a nice chat with a couple of fellow boardies, Sandgravitygirl and Craig123.

Eventually we start to gather to head back to the hotel and I head to the bar to pay my tab. “What table were you at?” I was asked and explain what happened to our table which seemed to cause some confusion with the staff. After a few minutes I'm asked “what did you have?”. We list everything we had consumed as they write it down, add it up and present us with a total. We load back into the waiting van and make the 1 minute trip back to the hotel.

Since we still haven't had dinner Beth Ann and I decide to head out to see if the Jerk Barrel guy was out, suspecting he was by the fact we could smell the distinct aroma of cooking jerk. We place our order and head over to PeeWee's to wait for it to finish cooking. After dinner we meet back up with the gang for another night of laughs before heading to bed.
