Thanks a lot Rob! Unfortunately we are arrving the 25th and leaving on the 4th noo, we'll just miss Tarrus!! We never knew about the Entertainment section, that is exactly what we were looking for. It looks like there is 2-3 options each day so that's wonderful. We did some research ourselves and know about Drifters and a couple of other places but its nice to have it all in one place on the entertainment section. Makes it a lot easier!! I know there are a few Negril maps out there plotting where each location is, anybody have a favorite/updated one to use? I see some in google images but I was curious if any of you more experienced travelers had a favorite one. I appreciate it in advance!
Another question, if we are at one of the venues on the beach at night, when we want to go back to our grounds (Nirvana), is it best to walk on the beach or on the road, or get a taxi? I know this is a question that is not cut and dry since one person's opinion of "sketchy" can widely differ from another(some say its safe some say they wouldn't be caught dead there). We are a group of 3 men that would mostly be sticking together(not anywhere near heavily intoxicated) so I don't know if this has a bearing on anything. My thoughts are, when we are there we will just see how we feel, if its sketchy etc. and go from there.
The hagglers do not bother us at all(meaning it doesn't annoy us when they come up), this is a question about being stuck up(gun/knife) walking back where we shouldnt be. Just browsing some people make it sound very dangerous, and I would like to know if that is true? Or are there just as much people who find it not dangerous? A little more info, we aren't as scared as most people in sketchy situations, so I really am not worried, it is just I know a lot of you have a ton of more experience there, and a friendly tip or reminder would be great!! TLR : How safe is beach/road at night(various times of night)(safe being a highly relative term)

On another subject, I may start a new thread for this if I fall short using the search function, one or two days we would love to have a driver take us away from the hustle and bustle into the country and see rural Jamaica. We aren't too interested in the falls, from pictures it looks like there's always a crowd(or else we'd love it). We would like to have a beautiful drive through some nice scenery seeing the rural side. As I said in the first post we came to Negril 7 years ago and stayed on the cliffs, but we never ventured too far(just lounged around haha) and we've regretted it since. I'm not looking to have all my answers handed to me on a silver platter I do realize there is a search function but I figured since I was posting this reply anyway, might as well see if I get any personalized answers to my situation. We'd like to have an authentic Jamaican experience.. maybe sit down have a red stripe with a few locals in the country or something. We all love hiking too but I haven't found too much on any hiking near Negril. I would like a recommendation for a beautiful drive, just the driver and us, nothing too crazy of a destination if its going to be tourist-packed. I want to see the Jamaica away from the hustle and bustle of Negril for a day or two. Maybe 1-2 hour drive each way preferably.

Thank you VERY much in advance for any replies given!! Can't wait, Gary, Randy, and Brian

13 days till Paradise..!!!!
