Day 1: Cont.
After unpacking, I caught a cab to Hi-Lo. I bought some water, a few fruit juices, snacks and fruit. On the way back I saw a lady cooking jerk chicken that smelled amazing! I had to have some so I asked the driver to stop. It was very spicy and came with a few hard pieces of bread. After I finished eating I took a two hour nap (the heat always gets to me). I freshened up, and then headed to the restaurant located on the Kuyaba premises. I ordered brown stew chicken and a tropical punch drink…I took everything back to my room. Most of the rooms at Kuyaba only have chairs outside not in the rooms…I had to sit and eat on my bed. Yes, I made a complete mess! The sheets on my bed were covered in sauce an pieces of rice, lol! I made a mental note to go to the office early in the morning to ask them to send someone to change my sheets!
Day 2:
I got up very early to see the sunrise, it was absolutely beautiful to sit outside in the hammock and take in that wonderful site. I went back inside my room and had a light breakfast of fruit. I decided to wear a very colorful tie-dye shirt and dark blue ripped shorts. I walked out near the road, but I was stopped by the security guard. He says “Good Morning my baby, you look very beautiful…so thick and chocolaty.” (LMAO)! All I could do was laugh and smile. Some of the comments I hear from Jamaican guys do make me feel more confident about myself but I had never been called chocolaty before. I told him I wanted to go to the craft market at the opposite end of Negril, near the water park…so he got a cab for me and off I went. Many of the stalls were still closed, good thing for me because I was not hassled as much. I brought a dress and 2 bracelets. I realize many of the people selling crafts; have no variety and things begin to look the same after a while. When I buy I try to find items that are unique to add to my jewelry collection.
After I get back to my room, I get a call from Dre saying he was on his way. I start to panic and ask myself how do I look, run to the mirror but I look fine. An hour later I get a message from Dre, telling me to come outside and there he is! He looked very handsome…and I was cheesin’ at him like a big ass kid! We said our hellos and we talked for a little bit. We didn’t do much that day but we did explore the property. I think we counted over 25 lizards that day. We had a stalker lizard missing a tail that hung out right over our door. I was so afraid he was going to jump on me! Every time I moved, so did he…LOL!
I know that phone call....it's like butterflies and nervousness and giddiness all mixed together!

LOL!I know that phone call....it's like butterflies and nervousness and giddiness all mixed together!Its a good feeling to see a person who has been out of your life for a few months!
Day2: Cont.
Dre and I had a semi-romantic dinner at Kuyaba. He ordered Curried vegetables with rice and I had chicken stroganoff. It did take more than 15 minutes to get dinner but it was worth the wait. It seems at night Kuyaba has a few stray kittens that come out and hang around your feet. These kittens were absolutely adorable! I couldn’t help but to feed them…I would have took one back to the States but I’m not crazy! LOL! When our dinner finally did come the plates of food were huge!! More than enough for one person; I ended up getting a “take-room” plate.
Day 3:
I arose early and figured I would go to the beach because I had not been since arriving. Dre wanted my help washing his locks…I knew this would take some time, so we started early. His locks are past his waist…not only is he really tall but his hair is really long! It took a good two hours or so to complete the task. After I finished he walked up and down the beach to help them dry. They didn’t dry completely though.
We decided to walk across the street to Times Square to go meet a friend we made on our last trip. He owns the first store that’s located there. He is really interested in Rastafarian, so he and Dre had a long conversation while I shopped. I didn’t buy much just 2 t-shirts, one for myself and the other for Dre. We returned to the room and I noticed the security guard eyeing me. I swear Jamaican men are some of the boldest guys I know. Not only did he ask to take me out in front of Dre but he made a sexual comment. Now Dre isn’t the confronting type, so he let it slide. I went to the beach but Dre stayed inside. I walked along the edge of the beach near the water. It was so warm and I noticed the Kuyaba glass bottom boat. I really wanted to try it, but I was afraid of being seasick. I was so caught up in looking at the boat; I didn’t notice the two guys on it. One winked his eye and the other did a back-flip in the water…I guess they were trying to impress me? I shook my head, kept walking then I heard a female voice call out to me…I knew right away she wanted to sell me something. I decided not to be rude and took a look at her crafts; Right away, they stood out to me. Not only were the pieces unique but she had made most of them. She led me over to a bench, spread her crafts out and introduced me to her friend who was also selling. I ended buying from both and I don’t regret spending a penny. I sat with them for 2 hours just talking, laughing and getting to know one another. I didn’t have any money on me, but they said I was welcome to take the items back to my room. I couldn’t do that so I walked to my room to get money when I returned the boat guy was there…checking me out. His friend walked over to me, said the guy liked me. I said okay and went back to talking. They invited me to a local Beach party that was going to be near the craft market and I said maybe. I guess I was out there longer than I realized because Dre came out looking for me. I introduced him as my friend, and they said they were very surprised that he was a Jamaican…not sure why though.
Dre and I walked back to our room and along the way we snapped a few pictures of each other but things we found interesting on the Kuyaba grounds. Big ups to the very nice staff of Kuyaba! The grounds keepers work from early morning to the evening maintaining the “green-ness”. I definitely plan to stay here again; I would recommend it for family and couples.
