[agregory]

Our journey began with seven days in Negril. Here’s the beginning of my report - the Negril portion - if you’d like to read it - http://negril.com/forum/showthread.p...ys-In-Paradise

Our favorite driver and friend, Michael Heath, picked us up from Blue Cave Castle to take us to Treasure Beach at 4pm. A little later than originally planned, but no problem mon We made a stop in Black River to pick up more Red Stripe, overproof, mixers and snacks on the way. Two years ago we took a day trip to YS Falls, Black River and Pelican Bar, so we had been to this area before.

After accidentally taking the “scenic route” to Treasure Beach, we arrived at our rental house around 8:30pm. Since it was dark outside and we had never been to this area before, I felt like we were in another world and wondered what it would look like in the light. When we arrived we were immediately surrounded by goats, dogs and cute little children all running around in their yard excited for new guests. The caretaker and her family live in 2 houses in the front of the property and the rental house is perched up on a rock behind them. Sarah, the caretaker, is very friendly and welcoming. She walked us up to the house and we were all in awe, at where we would be staying for the next 5 nights. I’m pretty sure Michael didn’t want to go back home to Sheffield that night

We were very hungry by this time, so we headed to Jack Sprat’s. Of course I had the escoveitch fish and it was delicious! This was our first of three visits to Jack Sprat’s during this trip. Sitting outside along the water is gorgeous there.

Once we returned to our home, it was getting pretty late but we couldn’t go to sleep yet! We were in a new place and the excitement was too much to go to sleep! I mixed a rum punch and gave my husband a Red Stripe and we sat and looked out at the vast moonlit ocean in front of us as we listened to the goats. It felt magical! That’s the best way for me to describe our stay at this house – magical! It’s very open to nature and a bit rustic, but we are OK with that and knew it ahead of time, so no surprise. I’ll let the photos speak for themselves, but I have to say that this is my favorite place I’ve ever stayed on vacation!

After a good night’s sleep, this is what we woke up to –
