gettin my groove on "TRIP report" boardie bash style--april21-may11,2013

[groove16]

Today was moving day, our last day on the beach for our flight...we are moving to Catcha Falling Star for two days of relaxing before heading home...

The seas are rough again today...Ben told me yesterday that they had closed the water entrance at catcha, ltu and others due to the high seas..we were having so much fun on the beach, and can't get into the sea up at catcha..., that I tried to cancel my reservations at catcha and stay on the beach...Request denied, of course....so we make plans forthe last few hours on the beach...we decide to go to BarBBarn, we had a great time yesterday, and would say good bye to grace....


this is bettye, her husband John, and herself live a couple hours from us in Georgia...much more on her later

the seas were rough today, my friend...

we got hot, and got in to cool off a bit...normally u can walk out forever, but today we have a few waves..I enjoyed playing in the waves for a little, but there is nothing relaxing about the swim...it is a constant bombardment of waves...now this is what we get on the atlantic ocean, but normally here in negril...Janet gets knocked down and goes under, much to her displeasure..she hates getting her head wet, never swims underwater, etc...this ends her swimming until the seas calm down..

a few pics before we head back to shields to pack..

How did you like Bettie and Johns" smoking pipes? Something about vapor and smokeless, but they smoke the REAL thing in them...even at breakfast!

interesting couple...vaporizer, and yes breakfast, lunch, and dinner....she was the "guest relations" lady...she made sure u were ok, and didnt need anything...Janet loved them....I usually just do my thing while she socializes...

the vaporizer is smokeless, to avoid the smell, and more importantly, apparantly John has breathing issues, and the smokeless helps him self medicate, w/o inhaling all that smoke...I tried it a couple of times, not my thing....

Trip report continued, trying to get this thing finished...

we get our driver to take us to Catcha Falling Star....when we get there, our room is not ready....the maid, donna, is still in the room...I walk in, she is in the bathroom, most of the room was ready and I told her I was gonna go ahead and briing my bags over..ok, she said...before i left the room, I look under the bed to see if my freind had any leftover refreshments....nothing, look under mattress, nothing, donna walks in and ask me if I was looking for something, I tell her what I am doing, and she laughs....I do find a beach towel and some bug spray, that we used and left the remainder when we left...we go to the pool and in a few minutes, donna comes and calls me over to her....she tells me she found what I was looking for and told me where to look for it...thanks bud....
