So we (My friend Mike, a First Timer) get to the airport early in the morning. I had a rental car, as my car has been in the shop getting some work done. They said I could drop it off at the enterprise rental place at the airport. Cool. No problem.

Drop off the car and as we were doing this. USAirways calls to notify us that our flight was going to be delayed by approx 30 minutes, which ended up being well over an hour. No problem.

There was a group about about 15 girls for a bachelorette party on our flight, so we hung with them at the bar. They have never been to Negril, and were staying at RIU. I tried to convince them to go check out some of the things going on off the resort. Not sure they did.

We get on the plane. It was uneventful. The guy I use to drive me around was there waiting for us on time with cold beer. We head out on our way. Hit the Cambio in MoBay on the way out.

As we are headed through Green Island, I call PGW up. He's staying up the beach from us, and we decide Sun Beach would be the best place to meet. So we made those plans for later.

Get to the Hotel. White Sands. For the money, I would say it is a very good value. I would stay there again on a budget for sure.

We get our beach gear on and we are off. My buddy mike is dumbfounded by the brilliance of the beach. We make it up to sun beach and we meet up with PGW. Minutes later and epic thunderstorm with awesome lightening starts. We sit there and catch up as we havent seen each other in person since New Years. We've become pretty good friends since meeting in November. Mike and PGW's friend who will soon be nick named "Uncle Johnny" Hit it off right away. They are both fans of the Subs.


After the storm we hit the beach and decide that we were going to make our way down to Canoe. Well we got held up at Tony's hut for several rounds, so we the guy we use for transportation pick us up and drive us to the webcast.

By the time we get there, most of us are feeling pretty good. My memory is a little fuzzy as to what happened within the next 3-5 hours, but I think we went to 3 dives, then to spyda bar before we decide to head back and get ready for the Jungle.

We meet back up out front of the Jungle and go in. Spend the next few hours partying.

And clearly my internetting is not working out so well.

So the next thing I know. My alarm has been going off for sometime. I had went back to the room and passed out with my clothes on and the AC off. Yes. No AC in August in Jamaica.

Get up and go to the ATM. Grab some Jamaican breakfast and get ready for the day. We make plans to meet up with PGW and Uncle Johnny later in the day to continue our beach crawl.

Fast forward. We meet up with PGW and Uncle Johnny, and head down the beach. Eventually we make it to Sunnyside. Where Uncle Johnny runs into Shadow (Who I did not know prior to this, but PGW did).

Evidently shadow, will follow you around all day if you let him asking for drinks. Well, PGW didnt want any part of this and Uncle Johnny told Shadow, only one beer.

Well Shadow follows us to the history bar. Were the bartender asks if we want another round. We all order our drinks and Shadow is behind Uncle Johnny Screaming at the top of his lungs "RED STRIPE!" and slamming his fist on the bar like a hammer. Uncle Johnny is oblivious to the whole thing. I am watching this whole thing go down and laughing so hard that my throat kind of get sore from it. PGW says "See, I told you". At this point I am about in tears laughing and so is my buddy mike.

So we get up and leave and we are talking about Shadow. Uncle Johnny still oblivious to the whole thing says "Hey he didnt follow us at least eh" PGW says, "Turn around" ...

Shaddow is right behind uncle Johnny. Again, more laughs.

Uncle Johnny finally gets rid of him and we continue down the beach.

So we keep wandering down the beach and hit up all of the usual spots. We eventually get down to bourbon beach.

We get a solid rain storm. I had to be reminded of this later. By this time I was feeling the effects of rum punch all day.

Throw down some chicken and BS for awhile. Then PGW and Uncle Johnny decide to head back their way. Mike and I decide to keep marching.

Hit up a few spots down the beach. Cut through the craft market and on into town. We have a couple beers at American Pie and keep moving.

Get to C and D, because mike wants a little Special cake. He talks me into eating some and we keep walking.

This part is all blurry. I remember the guy who drives us passing by and he offers us a ride back to white sands. We oblige. By this time the cake is in FULL EFFECT. We are sitting in some beach loungers looking at the sky. Next thing I know.. I catch myself sleeping. I look over, mike was too. So I woke him up and we decide to go back to the room for the night...

But that didnt happen just yet.

We see/smell all of the jerk fired up on the road. This being RTI/Dream - there were tons of people and tons of cars and it was crazy. So we grab some jerk as we had the munchies and just take it all in. Then we decide to grab some more Jerk, because we were still hungry.


Finally sometime after midnight we decide to call it a night.
