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

    trip report continued...

    okay today was moving day...finally getting away from white sands...bittersweet in the fact that we were separating from our friends, Rina and Larry, but they were going back to the cliffs and we were staying on the beach...

    I had set up with my driver the day before...told him I would call him at 615 and need to be picked up at 630...he said no problem...I call him, and the problem was he didn t answer...so we gather our things, take them to the drive way, and then I go flag down a taxi...Let me tell you, we bring alot of stuff...and instead of packing it all in our suitcases, I had alot of these purple grocery bags to give away...well, i had about 15 of them, plus cooler, beer, all of our regular bags...it was a mess....anyway, the taxt driver looked at all of our stuff and said no, I can't take all that stuff, too much...I offered more $$$, he said not about the $$$, but too much stuff, it won't all fit...I tell him it will fit, and he said ok, or he will make 2 trips....it all fit...,lol...as we pulled off, my regular driver called...it was about 700 by now, and he was a little upset that i didnt wait on him...oh well, I have 1 hour before Chickens Magic Bus picks us up for todays excursion...

    We get to SHields, and no one there but security...well I know Stewie, and he remembers me, and he calls the manager/owner, Shauna Shields, who is on the property...she tells him our arrangement, and he stores my stuff for me...we change, and are ready to go...

    We get back on the road and head on to our 1st destination...We were advised by one of the passengers that this was a non smoking bus, but chicken told me to go to the back of the bus and roll the windows down..it would be alright...we we did....several on the bus enjoyed a piece of a sub, when it was announced again that this was a non smoking bus....so everytime the bus pulled over, the smokers got off to smoke...which actually, as my wife and I discussed, added to the expierence...everyone would go smoke, use the bathroom, buy drinks and snacks, and mingle..etc, and i could eat subs, take pics, and mingle..anyway, I go into a store at one of the stops, buy a few things and realize I didn't have my money on me...I was fixing to go back to the bus, when the jamaican guy gave me a 1000j to pay for my things...I say thanks, please follow me to the bus...he says, no problem, I am on the other bus....turns out he is friends with a passenger on the other bus...very nice of him...



    I had not ever been to Belmont Beach, and didn't know anything about it...

    So we pull in front of this sign

    we were told this was the Peter Tosh house, and I think his mother is still living here...there was a small admission, but everyone were talked into just taking a few pics from t he outside, cuz most wanted to get on to the beach...I gave the camera to Janet and I went on a quick walk to enjoy a sub...walked across the road to the small beach...this would be a nice place to hang out for awhile, I think to myself...

    After an hour or so we load up the buses, headed down the road for lunch....we drive for what felt like eternity....

    lol...or again maybe 3 minutes....a couple hundred yards....lol


    we all get out, go to the small building and Chicken helps take our orders...box lunches, fried chicken, jerk chicken and fish....

    Janet disappears for a minute, and she is found giving away candy and toys to several little kids....Janet and Sandy also bonded a little as they both cared and fed several dogs in the neighborhood...
