Lets get the party started...
"WARNING" this report may drag on forever, it may include way too many pictures, it may consist of several stories of drunken sailors nights out on the town...lol....
did u just call me a whack-job???? lmao
anyway, where was I? Oh yeah, I just got started....
This trip was just a thought thrown out there by my wife...we always go on vacation in the fall...April 16 was my 50th bday, and Janet just threw it out there...how'd u like to celebrate in Jamaica? no, I have softball...big tourneys in april...seed planted, watered with a likkle past boardie bash trip reports and bam, we r looking for deals....our friends from the last trip, rinakim and larry1967, said no, we can't go....seed planted and booom...ok, not only r we going, we are bringing along a couple of friends....likkle did we know at the time, but Rick and Carolyn made this trip such a memorable one...can't imagine this trip without them....thanks so much for all you 2 did to contribute to the happiness of our trip, and really all you did was be yourselves...lol
anyway, we booked for 13 days, started april 24 at white sands...as did rina and the others...we talked daily on facebook, all giddy about the upcoming trip, and out of no where I am hit with the surprising news..."guess what Terry, we just decided to go early, so now they are going on the 17th for 21 days, with rick and carloyn coming on the 21st...Janet can we go early---sure---oopps, Janet can't get off work.....plus the flights were changing by the day, and it was much higher than the deal she had for us...2 weeks before we are to go, my dad gets sick and admitted to hospital. He has complications, and after 5 days we discuss cancelling our trip....a couple days go by and a little improvement, and then one Monday, the 9th day in, the doc gives us good news....he should be out by the end of the week...good news part 1....then Janet shocks me with good news part 2....Happy bday, and hands me some papers with new plane reservations for the 21st and 3 days at fun holiday...so we are leaving early, well no, I can't get off work, but you get 3 days for your bday, go party with the Rina, larry and the boardies....I spend most of the next week with dad, he got out on 18th, we spend time with him at home and I fly out on the 21st...What a great wife I have, eh?
I get my buddy to drive me to airport, arrive 2 hours early, no problems, board the plane, and sit on the tarmac for 45 minutes...we still arrive on time in mobay...I watch most of the movie Life of Pi, on the plane..boring at first, but it was gettng somewhere by the time we landed...
Kingsley waiting for me when I get out there and we are off...he says he has a 3pm arrival at the airport so he is gonna hurry me to negrila nd get back...his 3 oclock in bella bea, I think....anyway 1 hour to negril and as we pull into fun holiday, I see my friend Rina walking down the street to greet me...that was so sweet and made me feel so special, I know i didnt share that then, but that made the trip jump into full speed...thanks rina...
we walk to the beach while we are getting my room assigned, and meet beachgirl (dawn) and her friend tina....go to the bar, order 2 redstripe, and get...sorry we are out of red stripe...no problem mon, but r u kidding me???
