The stress of the last few days leading up to a trip is always enormous. All those last minute details for work & home seemed to cause more anxiety than usual this trip. So, I was very thankful to leave it behind yesterday when I got on the plane.

We were lucky to get a 7:30am non-stop. It's a 4 hour flight but due to daylight savings time at home, we arrived before 10:30am. We didn't check a bag & made it out of the airport in 40 minutes. With Easter week I considered getting a VIP arrival pkg but now glad we didn't.

Kingsley was waiting outside. A delightful couple & their 2 kids also rode to Negril with us. They were so nice, we talked about getting together this week.

It was cool to see the road to Negril in a different light. Normally, my flight gets in later in the afternoon & the light hits at a different angle & things stand out differently. Saw things I never noticed before.....til I fell asleep! My catnap didn't last long & I woke in time to get the first glimpse of Negril!

We are staying at Banana Shout this reach. It's a quaint little place. Milo the owner & staff greeted us. We were early & our room wasn't ready but no big deal. We dropped our bags & headed off to LTU for lunch.
