Thanks everyone!! that is some great suggestions! We do have a reservation at Ivans on the tuesday, can't wait!!
I think we will take the majority advice.......check in at SS and enjoy a quick walk to the store to get some RS and snacks.....then just hang out with all the other guest as SS for the evening!!Maybe even make some new friends ??
On our first ever trip to the Dominican 15 years ago...we met a lovely couple and their young son on the first meet and greet day.....since then, we see each other very 2 months, they live 1 3/4 hrs from us and we have become so good friend, it's unreal, a true story!!

maybe this will happen in Negril!!

cheers everyone, 2 weeks and 6 days until soon come......

Simon and Cindy.
