I have been checking out this board (lurking) for the last couple of weeks as my wife and are going to Negril for the first time on October 29th. I had to sign up to say thanks for the reports. They are very informative and funny. You should do this for a living. Sláinte.
It's clear overproof rum...wicked! I was too slow on the answer.
DAY 3 PART 3
Jacko tells us there is a College BYOB party up the road tonight and that we should think about going.
I’m looking at the flask and me Andre, Jacko and Barber.
“We need more drinks Andre.”
So we end up on a road trip, Me Andre, Jacko and Barber in the car heading to Junction apparently there is a wholesale there
and booze is a lot cheaper. We are flying through the mountain roads nothing but trees and potholes to look out for and no
lights anywhere but what’s on the front of our car. And I was scared during the day in the rain?? This is a whole new ball game I
look back at Jacko and he motions to me with a plastic cup and the bottle of Rum I nod my head.
We have established a common language lol
He pours me some rum I motion for more his eyes widen I’ve got what I like to call a good shot of rum in my glass and I swig it back. UGH! I have to swallow a few times just because it feels like this rum is stuck in the back of my throat and then it burns through my stomach. Jacko pats me on the shoulder I look back and he’s holding a bottle of “Ting” in his hands and asks for my glass I tell him I took my shot. He starts going off “Lawd somethingsomethingsomething!!!” and Andre looks at me and starts laughing.
“He said he hasn’t seen a woman be able to do that in a long time and he’s impressed”
I look back and Jacko is pouring Ting in his small cup of rum and I smirk.
After we grab more Rum at the wholesale in Junction we’re on our way to this college house party. There is a girl walking along the road in the dark from work and Jacko knows her so we pull over so we can drop her off on the way home. I look back from the front seat “Hi” and she says “Where you’d you get the white girl from??” Everyone stops for what feels like 5 minutes but I’m sure it was 30 seconds and we bust out laughing.
We arrive and park on the side of the road. There is a small hill full of rock and gravel we climb to get up to the “lawn” area of the house. They are singing Happy Birthday and the music is off most of the guys are out on the lawn in the shadows some in the house and a lot of girls are up on the porch area in groups. I meet a few of Andre’s acquaintances all men and he starts to usher me up through the crowd and on to the porch to get into the house.
“Andre, what if I’m not welcomed here? All the girls are outside should I really go inside?”
Let me tell you how awkward it was to walk through a fully lit porch area while you know every single pair of eyes is on you, whispering girls. We were in that house for about a minute it was all men it was very hot and I was stood up in a corner dreading having to walk back out of the house through the lit porch area.
Andre tells me “why would it be an issue you are with me and you are my friend and if anyone has a problem they can come talk to me” Andre is starting to get tipsy and I can tell because he is starting to tell his friends I’m his girlfriend, he’s got the best girl at the party etc. This is not the attention that I wanted at this moment knowing that people were wondering where the hell I came from and who I was. Jacko and Barber after a little while tell us that the “vibe” in the party has changed that’s my que.
“Andre I’d like to go home now I’m tired”
So I’m walking back to the car … did I tell you already that I’m clumsy??
I’m wearing flats that have no grip and that small hill full of rock and gravel we climbed up well I slid down it in some sort of weird
sliding to home base splits move and I couldn’t have been more embarrassed. Lucky for me at this point the music was on most
people had not paid attention. Jacko tries to grab my arm to pick me up.
“I’m fine I need to put my shoe on first. I’m okay I can get up.
Andre is angry and tells me I made a “scene” because I “yelled” at Jacko. I did not YELL at anyone but now I’m YELLING at Andre.
“All week you have told me watch your step or held your hand out for me to watch my step this time you leave me to walk down a rocky death trap alone. Thanks!”
Okay maybe it’s a bit dramatic but I’m embarrassed and really it’s no one’s fault. After all I am clumsy.
“Oh it’s my fault you were drunk and you fell.”
“Drunk??? Who was drunk Andre? I slipped!”
“Look your foot is bleeding”
I look down, that doesn’t look good… rock, blood, skin..
I wash it off come out lay in bed in my clothes away from Andre.. Seething.

Holland Bamboo "Bamboo Avenue" was spectacular very cool to see. We took this road a few times through out the next 3 days and each time I had my head out the window looking up, just beautiful.
I had a cool experiance going from Treasure beach up through Cross roads and up to Junction, I was riding with the lady where I was staying and one of the girls that worked for her, she said they had to hand out what she called beggin letters for door prizes for an event in T.B. So I went into all kinds of store and shops with her worker even the funeral home. It was one of the best days i have had , and also got a lot of looks like whats this white guy (tourist) doin here.
