here it is 3 o'clock in the morning
and i'm recalling one of my '..charter..' taxi experience IN-a-RURAL-area

( not sure, but i *think* i posted this in one of my trip reports )


'twas one of those visits,
to my Ja-play-dawta's family-yard.

not far from Negril,
in rural-suburbia/ex-urbs

her mother & some neighbors
invited me to accompany them to an evening church service,
in an area, just off the SavRoad,
just below SpringValley

we were waiting for the '..charter..',
which was to-be a van,
to carry the 9-of-we

driver showed-up (late) with a 4-door, hatched-back thing-y

:-(

there was a *problem* securing the van

* sigh *

long-story shortened-version

in-front ---- 2 people (including driver)
back-seat ---- 4-ladies
in-trunk ---- me, two boy-pickneys, and an older really-nice gentleman

The first-plan was to go to church
via the main-road,
pass/drive thru Negril,
and over-to the church along the SavRoad

but 'cause the car was so full-up,
the driver-SAY::::>> ".. can't do that ..... Negril police blah blah raaa raaa ...... we'll have to go the back-way.."

'twas a nice *drive*...... cool-cool A/C
....we got there ok....

.....but at a reduced-rate,

.....'cause the promised vehicle wasn't used
