Aw yes! The good old days. We're still the same Rob. We just go the bed earlier, wake up to pee more often, and when we do get up out of bed, we have to put one foot on the floor and wait until the rest of our body is ready to move in the same direction. I still move down the beach at about the same speed. The only thing is 30 years ago It was on foot, now it's on a motorcycle.

It's still possible to keep things the way they were, we just need to adapted a little. For example if the noise at Rick's is too much, staying a Tensing Pen or LTU isn't an option. What about Westender or Seastar. If there are too many parties at Waves then think about White Sands across the road or Rayon. For me (or us) we found The Point Village was perfect. Staying there for 20 years and then bought 12 years ago. Out on Rutland point, far removed from traffic noise and no beach party noise. You can hear a little noise from Royalton or maybe even RIU across the bay but that is gone before midnight. The only down fall is, well it's far removed. Too far to walk and go shopping. To far for groceries, so you have to have a driver or a vehicle.

If you want real quiet, think about Little Bay or even Treasure Beach. The problem with that is it's quiet but no vibe.

It's still possible to save Negril, we just need to adapt.

Question though, Rob, the noise abatement act of 1997 (NAA) is still in place. I can remember JCF was clamping down on loud parties a couple of years ago. I remember being at a friend's place up off Non Pariel Road listen to the boom boom boom. JCF pulled up and it was like a grenade went off. Partiers running in every direction, up the road, through the bush, everywhere. JCF took the speakers and that was the end of that. Rob, what happened to the NAA and why aren't the JCF enforcing it any more if it's scaring us old timers (sorry, Longtimers) away. Maybe a topic of discussion at the next Council meeting.
