Nice.... The day had it's bumps, however at the end of the day we all control our fun factor. The man that was booted was a local Jamaican and their is some history there that should see no mention on the www. He's a nice guy and I wish him the best...... One bus was full of people that road tripped it last year and had an amazing time. We tried to grow it this year so others could partake and at the end off the day it was simply too many people. I thank both the organizer as well as "the self appointed leader of the other bus" as your intentions were sincere. The best part of the day for me was the time chilling on the beach in Parottee while you guys went to Pelican Bar. Man, I love the South Coast and see myself spending much more time there than in Negril.....
