TizzyATX Trip Report - 1st Timer

[ChillintheMost]

Thanks Tizzy... If you knew my buddies mom..you would know she was our kind of people. At 85 she'd still get dolled up to the nines and cruise around in her convertible. Drove the boys crazy even in her autumn years! Near the end ( last year which is why we skipped our trip ) she and my buddy Jon gathered at her hospice bedside with a blender, pineapple rum and some island tunes! "let's do it while we still can!" was her battle cry! It is that very spirit that we will be taking with us... The spirit of Priscilla will forever grace that island now. I think we will commend her at Ricks... Though touristy (it is still one of my annual guilty. pleasures) it is the kind of place where her life of the party personality would have flourished.

Secondly wanted to recommend a great book and must read for any Negril lover: WALK GOOD by Roland Reimer. Written about 25 years ago if memory serves it is a splendid account of the sites sounds and experiences that everyone on this site holds so dear. It is a fun and easy read and good inspiration for things to do and people there who still enrich the Negril scene. If you read it I would love your review on it. Thought you are such a naturally gifted writer that a book like that would be something you would love. Cheers!

Hey Chiilinthemost,
Roland is actually a boardie on here who goes by Kahuna. Agreed it's a great read as well as his new book Sunset Negril.

Hey Roland,
Get the ol' typewriter out and give us a new read. Your last trip report was great but short lived.
