Hey Murph,
Great list of suggestions and pointers but you may have omitted some others that they might need to know. You also refer to the infamous bamboo, have you warned them about the Big Bamboo??? Two white plain Jane's from Maine heading to Negril? Unless things have changed drastically over the past couple of years I hope you've given them a heads up about not smoking Ganja and getting so wasted they don't remember what's going on or about not taking a ride to the hills with someone that don't know. I know your not your co workers keeper but you have encouraged them to go so you better tell them the whole story as everybody knows Negril isn't Portland, ME.
Hahaha Good points johng. Its funny how I have to 'present' details to them. The one that has been to MoBay is a little more worldly, so I feel like I can tell her 'the truth'. Example- dont go to the hills with a guy you met on the beach, dont tell anyone where your staying, etc. The other one who didnt know about the 'black jamaicans' I give the sugar coated version of everything to. Neither of them smoke- so no worries there.
But the Big Bamboo... do I need to ask... whats the diff between the infamous and the big bamboo?
some places you may not need to hold or touch anything....to notice your feelin good, and hungry lol
wonderful country

"YES,THAT WOULD BE MINE" I said as my leg that at first gave no pain, started dishing it out in large bunches........"
want more read our blog? our first trip.........http://negril.com/forum/entry.php?58...-The-Beginning
I like the list.... but I don't agree with not walking the beach at night... I have seen other people mention this, but on all of my visits it has never been any different
than walking the beach during the day.... and it really is a peaceful part of my Negril experiences.... if danger is the issue, there are streets here at home that I'd
consider to be much more of a risk... just my experience..to each their own..... love the list.... I think you have set them up well....
Hey Murph,
The Ganja part was just a metaphor regarding keeping oneself under control. If you went to Negril with some guy from work many of the tips are different but you are talking two women, one of whom seems like she has been quite sheltered so far in life. I have seen many American girls (pretty much like you describe) who were not prepared for the scene they encountered. I don't mean that in any negative way just that things can happen far from home. Negril has been and is an awesome place and to recommend it to friends is what most everybody does after going there. As far as the Big Bamboo goes if you don't know the difference between bamboo and "Big" Bamboo check this out

Marko would be proud of this list.
hahaha funny sh*% johng! I will email them this link the day before they leave hahaha We laugh all the time when I tease them about the bamboo. Two single good lookin ladies headin to Negril- I can only imagine the proposals they will receive.
yeah, the walking at beach at night part... Im just regurgitating what others have said. Ive never even really walked the beach at night come to think of it!
Another guy in the office just got back from sailing- Montego to Columbia. Sweet deal helping his dad on a sailboat. he was lucky enough to stay a week in Negril on the boat cruised over to Ricks, made it to the Jungle, etc... sweet deal indeed- no hotel or taxi expenses! And yet another person in the office to chat about negril with!
