Laugh when I hear the term, good old days, as I am sure there are many more to come, but these are a blast from our past visits to Negril. Some from Miss Gloria's yard with the infamous A-Frame. Also one of Barry, hasn't changed too much through the years. Went and had a cold one with him this March past.

Just up West End Road was the first place we stayed at called the White Bird cottages with Uncle Willy and Mama and their family. It was a great place, cheap clean and a good vibe. You could rent a cabin, rent a hammock or camp....and some wise words were posted around the property!!

A few pics of the roundabout in town, the hammock park in the cliffs with Campbell, and an early morning on Negril beach, as you can tell by the shadows! Maybe we were just heading home after a good show at the Treehouse....saw Rita Marley there one night with the I Threes and Ziggy. Oh, and parasailing off the beach, cause that was so safe then!!!!

And a few more randoms....the beach in front of Miss G's, The Rocky Dell, where Gus made the best lobster dinners in the West End, a great day spent sailing, and lastly the Patio at the T Water. Looked like a great place to have our wedding, and we did just that in '87.

Oh man this is too cool. My first of over 20 trips to the Rock was in 1981 and I stayed at WhiteBird. You have brought me back and I am so appreciative. Great pictures. The parasail pic off the beach reminds me of when the chute got caught on a fence and the dude was being pulled by the boat but hung up on the fence. Thank goodness the fence broke and the piece of fence that whipped toward the sailor missed him. It could have been ugly.

Thanks for the pictures. I still stay at Barrys. My best fried the late Ken Kiesler stayed at Glorias from the 70s till the 90's. Great memories.
It's always nice to see how Negril was in days past. My memories of Negril began in 1990 and it certainly has changed.
Holy porn stash batman!
