Tuesday 1/5
Another day in paradise. We were disappointed that our family didn’t make it in the day before but, took advantage of the day alone and went to Half Moon Bay. The driver that took us to dinner the night before arrived right on time at 1200 to transport us. Not sure what the round trip rate should be but paid $40. What an absolute gorgeous place. They have a wonder bar, beach and boat to go to Calico Jacks. They also have a few cabins that can be rented. Not sure I could stay for a week as it is secluded but maybe for a few day. The one thing I couldn’t figure out is if the cabins had air conditioning. That might be a deal breaker for us if they don’t. We did take the boat to Calico Jacks and it is such a cute little place and the best snorkeling around. The biggest problem is the water is really swallow and I got pushed against the reef and scratched my leg. It bleed and bleed but they do have a first aid kit on the island and the owner patched me up. We stayed out there longer than expected and never got to eat so not sure how the food is but the drinks were awesome. I had told the driver to return at 3:00 as I wasn’t sure how the day would be and think the next time would ask someone to call. I just didn’t know how it all worked yet but will next time.

We got a little snack when we got back to the room and hung out on the nice porch swing/chair until our family arrived. Once they arrived and unpacked we headed a couple doors down to Sunset Beach. No problems walking there at night. We walked the beach at night down a couple hotels and had no problem. The one thing I noticed was a lot of lights went out around 10 so we tried to be back by then. I also never walked alone and would not recommend it. I want to say that this was one of the best meals but all meals except one were beyond our expectation. We had fried fish, lobster pasta, curried chicken and Jamaican chicken. Everyone was impressed with the food and would defiantly recommend the food. I had the fish and it rivalled a good Friday Night fish fry in WI. Again, don’t go hungry has it took over 1 hour just to get our food. Our family went back their last night but we went somewhere else as I refuse to eat at the same restaurant twice on vacation unless we have eaten almost everywhere already. That’s going to take a while in Negril and many more trips (hint, hint)
Back to the bar at Treehouse for a night cap and to bed we went.

Tip Day 3- Don’t fly out of a small airport in the winter chances to high your flight will be cancelled and you will miss a day of vacation. Reef scratches can really tear you up and rum works good as an antiseptic. Next trip I will make sure I bring antibiotic ointment.
