& I keep forgetting to mention that we saw CaptainD when we stopped at Seastar on the Pub Crawl. This is a working trip for him out at his property.

Hope Captain is doing well. Such a great guy, along with his personable, genuine wife Miss G. Great couple indeed! Anxious to hear more West End Girl. Your posts are truly captivating and filling such a "Negril void" that I am experiencing right now. Ready and waiting for more............

lazy days are the best.... thanks for sharing
Okay. So, you know the first thing I did yday morning was to find the Detroit bashers! Come to find out, they are from the Detroit area! ......... I don't know if that's better or worse!? Lol
We went out a few minutes before noon to see Dan&Sue at Samsara yesterday. They weren't there when we arrived so we wandered around for a bit & ordered pink slushy drinks. After we finished our drinks, we went back to their cottage & Dan was on the porch reading & Sue was having a catnap. They'd gone for breakfast earlier & it took longer than expected. Apparently, they sent us a text at 12:15..... that came thru at dinner! A lot of Negril seemed to have no wifi yesterday for a while.
The sun was hot & the water much calmer than at our end of the cliffs. Linds & I were determined to swim off the cliffs at least once this trip! & we did!!! Thanks to Sue&Dan! They had 2 blow up floatie rings with mesh in the center to help give me a lil extra reassurance as I bobbed in the sea! We stayed in til our fingers were wrinkled. It was hot when we got out. It didn't take long til we jumped in the pool to cool. But, the pool was like bath water!
After a bit, we started to get hungry. We didn't want to butt in on their alone time. After all, they are here celebrating their 2nd wedding anniversary this week! But, they said 'Come with us. The more the merrier!' Dan laughed & asked how long it'll take for 3 lovely ladies to get ready?! Lin & I only had what we were wearing so that made it easy! Sue was a quick change too!
We decided to have dinner on the beach at Idle Awhile. It is a beautiful setting. & the food was good. We took photos & ate & all checked our iPhones since we'd been out of wifi all day! The waiter laughed when he saw all of us with our heads down, focused on our phones! He brought that to a screeching halt with the delivery of pumpkin soup! Prolly the best pumpkin soup of the trip too! I had shrimp sun spree or something like that. I would order it again. The other 3 ordered fettucine.
Lin excused herself to the rest room. She took a while & when she came back she was white as a sheet. She'd only had a beer or two all day & we had eaten earlier. I think she just spent too much time in the sun. She wasn't burned but she had a headache like a migraine & it was making her nauseous. She tried to eat a lil thinking it would help, but it didn't and she ended up lying on a lounger while we finished our dinners.
When the cabbie came, Sue suggested they drop us off first since Lin was not doing any better. The ride from the beach to the cliffs always seems to take longer than I remember & I'm sure it was an eternity for Lin, trying not to toss her cookies with each turn last night!
Trooper she is! We made it home without incident! & then the dam broke! Poor thing. To make it worse, we had NO running water when we returned to BS. I used water from the frig for her cold compress. Marianne said they ordered a delivery from the water truck but that wasn't coming quick enough to help us at that point. She also made sure we knew if we needed anything they were here to help.
Our beds are upstairs so I brought the wastebasket up for her. Those stairs can be tricky to navigate in the dark on a good day! After a while, she settled down enough to sleep. An hour or so later I made her a PB sandwich & gave her a Motrin.
She just woke up & has a smile on her face today. Thank goodness!
I hung out on our upper deck last night. Not many stars, didn't want to read or write. Just sat there, sniffling. My allergies are bad here. Watery eyes & stuffy/runny nose. We bought Kleenex at the store when we arrived but went thru it already. I'm resorting to paper towel now! I don't have allergies like this at home & never experienced them here before either. Don't think it's a cold becauses I don't feel bad otherwise?
We go home tomorrow. We decided that 9 days was good! We had enough time to relax & recharge. But, we are ready to go back to being busy girls again!
I enjoyed swimming in the sea so much, I'd like to go back to Samsara again today!
Oh, the last full day! Trying to cram in all the food, drink(Ting!) & activity I can to last me another year!

I'm glad to hear she's feeling better, there is nothing worse than feeling ill on vacation. Sounds like you had a great trip, sorry it's over so soon. Looking forward to those pictures you promised when you get home
Awe... We had a great time...come on back to samsara.. It's early still!! We're at ciaos for a late lunch!!
