I don't even know when I'd try and sleep after I land because I'm all about getting supplies for the room while I have the driver, getting jamaican cash, unpacking and setting up my room for the week (yep, I'm OCD about that.. lol). One thing that does help me keep going that first night, I think, is that I won't touch a drop of alcohol till my driver hands me that first Stripe in the Sangster parking lot as I'm getting into my ride!






I'm getting better about resting on airplanes, but never fall sleep. I connect in BWI this trip and it's usually seamless. Just enough time to get something to eat for the plane and use the bathroom. I should be in MBJ at 11am local. Still working on transfer, probably a JUTA $25 ride.

I like to set up my room too. If I don't, things are just a mess the whole week and repacking is a nightmare. This trip is all about slowing down and enjoying each moment- not the whirlwind that the last few trips seem to have been.

I like my two-bed room at rondel and I like how the bathrooms are set up- an outer room with sink and shelving then the inner room with toilet and shower. There isn't much space on the sinks but the shelving is more than adequate for the items I bring. I also love how those two rooms have their own doors and each has a window that opens. I love Rondel and I can't wait to return!!!
