EPILOGUE:
Well, it's been a bit more than two weeks since my return, and I have to admit I do miss Negril.
When I go to sleep at night, all my dreams are of Jamaica. I just can't shake the place. I have many passions in my real life -- my work is incredibly rewarding, the kind of job millions of Americans would LOVE to have; my two daughters are the greatest thing in my world, and I am ultra dedicated to them; and among other things, the sub sandwiches in Los Angeles are MUCH better than Negril -- but still my heart goes back to that sleeply little town against the Cliffs in the Caribbean.
I can not shake Jamaica. Like a great lover, she can hurt me, but she can't push me away forever.
I will back. Soon.
