Simpson - we should hook up before I move - or I am serious - you can come up for our open house! Road trip!

P.S. My new inlaws live in Portage.
P.P.S. Didn't answer your question...it was great getting married on the beach. Never thought that I would really like it - but it was nice to be able to have all of the people that we had met at the resort be able join us - plus all of the people jsut walking by. (Our video shows tons of people that I don't remember even being there! Bet there were 20 people standing out on the beach!) So if anyone else is getting married at a resort- I would for sure wait a few days before doing it. That way you will be able to meet and hang out with the staff and the people staying there too!

Your story really makes me appreciate our decision to get married on the beach in Negril. I thought I couldn't wait before, but after reading all about yours I'm really jumping in my seat now. It sounds so beautiful and I bet the full moon was a very nice touch.

Re: Trip Report - Negril Gardens April 12-19, 2003

Thursday – Day 6 - Today is totally going to be a total beach day. Be-Rad runs over and gets some more orange juice and cocoa bread – forgets the cheese though – Danny looks at him like he was crazy! No problem, Danny runs to the buffet and slices off a huge hunk of cheese! Kids are a little disappointed that there are no other plans for the day. And I have just realized that our vacation is almost over and we never set anything up for the trip to Mayfield Falls. Be-Rad has already seen YS Falls – but I really thought the kids would have loved to go out on an excursion - and neither of us has seen Mayfield. Next time he says. Next time? I don’t plan on bringing the kids back with me to Jamaica for several years – at least! But I guess he doesn’t really want to go anywhere – so I stop worrying about it. Boys spend most of the day hanging out with the watersports guys playing dominoes. Now that they have learned – we have had to learn to play the right way too. They have taught them two different ways- Jamaican? and French - so we alternate playing the two games at night. We seem to be able to grasp the rules okay, but are still pretty slow and certainly can’t slap them down like they do – and I certainly can’t hold six or seven of them in my hand at one time – but try much to everyone’s entertainment!

It seems as though every time we hit the water today, we all start itching – heard several people mention the same thing – so we spent lots of time in the fresh water shower trying to rinse off everything from outside and inside our suits! Someone tells the kids that they are itching so much because they have Sea Lice – which totally grosses them out! I explain to them that the waves must have brought in some very tiny baby jellyfish larvae and we are actually getting stung by them! I think that they like this explanation much better! They are getting stung by jellyfish! Amy ends up with a red rash on her stomach – but luckily it doesn’t really itch. Danny is out with us in the water fooling around and starts laughing/yelling that a crab has bitten his foot. We think he is joking until he goes under and sticks his foot out of the water! A crab had decided to latch onto the skin between two of Danny’s toes! Be-Rad goes to pull it off – and ends up dividing the crab in two. The poor thing! [img]/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Tonight we head up to Rick’s Café to meet everyone for some cliff jumping. We went last year and I didn't really care if I went back - but the kids have to go at least once! Harley and Debi show up right on time – but Dummy and his group are no where to be found. No matter, we are lucky enough to find a table for just the seven of us. Be-Rad goes right over to stand in the line to jump off the cliff and the boys follow him. Danny stands up there several times and finally decides against it. The sun goes down, and sets a little early into the clouds. Dummy and his party show up and get a table behind us and start to order dinner – they didn’t realize that we were there just for the sunset and were heading over to 3 Dives. But they ate at 3 Dives the other night after we left – so they decide to stay at Rick’s.

I’m a little disappointed, just knowing that we probably won’t see them again until the airport. I really wanted to catch up with them later so we could go up and see where they were staying at Palace View. They have really enjoyed their stay there. It is a house owned by some local Rastas who rent out some of their rooms - very quiet – very laid back. Dummy said it looked as though it used to be a pretty nice little resort. Heffer was very concerned before she left – although it was her uncle that recommended the place – there was no air conditioning, they had to bring their own towels, they had to buy their own drinks and food, she wasn’t sure about the security there and worse of all, they had to share a bathroom! [She has only stayed so far at Hedo II and the Riu – and she hates to rough it! Although we do make her camp and do overnight boating trips – but she hates it!] She had really gotten herself worked up about this place – and we were sure that they would be moving some place else the day they arrived. In fact, I had promised her that I would go room shopping with her during the NASCAR race on Sunday if she needed me to! But she announces at Rick’s that she really wants to stay at Palace View again – or at least somewhere up on the cliffs. So in the end – all was Irie! She said there was no need for air conditioning up there, there was a great restaurant across the street (which no one remembers the name of) and best of all, she felt very safe there. Yeah! I’m very interested in staying up on the cliffs next time – maybe not as far out as they stayed though. And since they will probably go joining us next year, it is good that they don’t want to go back to doing the AI thing! They are now trying to talk us into another trip to Negril in the fall! Hmm – we were planning a trip for my 40th birthday to Vegas in September (Dummy and I share the same birthday) – but no one has to twist my arm to go to Negril instead!

As I am standing there teasing Heffer about all of the dolphins that I’ve seen from our beach - NOT! (she just loves them and is disappointed that she hasn’t seen any) – just then – REALLY - out in the water I see two dark groups of something swimming by Rick’s. I grab my binoculars out of the beach bag (that is full of everything that we could possibly need!) – and sure enough, they really were dolphins. Boy were they fast! Heffer doesn’t really get a good look at them and is disappointed – but I hear when we get back to Michigan, that she actually got to see some from their place on Friday afternoon. So that really made her trip!

We gather the rest of our group up and head down to 3 Dives for dinner – and who is there? A group of people, mostly from Detroit, that were also staying at our resort. Most of them came in on Monday and had made a huge difference in the atmosphere at NG. It was very quiet before that and they certainly brightened up the place. They had a couple in their party getting married on Saturday afternoon and they were all having a great time. They couldn’t believe that we were there too – they wanted to know who had told us about this place – thinking maybe it was there little secret! Harley buys our two boys underage boys a Red Stripe – with the guy behind the bar pretending to “card” them by asking them if they had shaved this morning – or if they were on leave from the Army, etc. - boys think this is pretty funny. I know for a fact that they have had some real daiquiris this week – but drinking a beer in front of us is a big deal! No matter how much try, they don’t manage to finish their Red Stripes – in fact they think that beer is pretty gross! I just smile thinking that back then I thought beer was pretty gross too! We take some good pictures of them toasting with us – so now we are the Bad Parents on film! Dinner was totally awesome and Debi and Harley decide that they are coming back the next night to eat again! Our table was so full of food but we managed to eat it all! We spend hours at 3 Dives eating, drinking and socializing with everyone from our resort and everyone else that was there – it is such a fun place to hang out! We finally head back to the beach and drop H&D off at Coral Seas. The kids went to sleep and we head down to the bar – there are actually five people down there playing pool! We hang around for a few drinks and then head back to the room.

Re: Trip Report - Negril Gardens April 12-19, 2003

Friday – Day 7 – Had to wake the kids up this morning - couldn’t believe that they were still sleeping at 8:30 a.m. Got them down for a breakfast and packed up a bag for our snorkeling trip. We probably had 15 or so people on the glass bottom boat with Mophead for our snorkeling trip. But no Carol Ann – I hope they gave her my messages – but also knew that she might also be quite busy with other personal matters. Maybe next time, Carol-Ann! Mophead tells us we are going to be getting a special trip today – I’m not sure what he usually does – so I’m not sure how special it was - but we sure got our money’s worth. Mophead took us along the shore, strategically maneuvering his boat over a sunken boat and some very huge starfish. We also got the trip by Hedo II’s nude beach with the guys on the beach launching water balloons at us! Kids couldn’t believe that both the girls and the guys were totally naked there.

Yuck they say! They were just getting used to the girls at the resort going topless! We also cross the path of a parasail boat dragging his lines right in front of us and we have to slow down – they don’t make any attempt to speed up – so there is Mophead standing on the bow of his boat – yelling at this guy in Patois. It is quite a lively conversation going back and forth – and I don’t catch even one word of it – but love the rhythm and the tone! As the sail’s lines finally pass by – Mophead turns back to us and smiles – almost seemed like the entire “argument” in Patois was just a show for us! [img]/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] After Hedo, Mophead headed his boat directly for Booby Caye where he parked the boat so we could explore and go swimming. We saw urchins, starfish and sea cucumbers as well as tons of fish. I would have loved to spend more time there – maybe next time! Somehow Be-Rad slipped and cut his toe on the coral. Back at the boat, first mate took some rubbing alcohol and administered a little first aid (not the kind that was in Mophead’s “First Aid Box” for those that have seen this special box!) [img]/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Can’t imagine that rubbing alcohol on an open cut felt that great – but Be-Rad took it like a man – and actually mentioned later that the alcohol did the trick. It didn’t hurt at all later like most coral scrapes do! Mophead got us all loaded back on and we were off to start the snorkeling portion of our trip. One by one we are fitted with equipment and jump in the water. Somehow I am one of the last ones in, I was sitting on the edge, about to jump in when Mophead yells at me to stop. I look around to see what might be the problem – thinking how could I have possibly done something wrong already? It seems that someone in the water is having trouble with their mask fitting correctly. He grabs mine off of my head, grabs the one from over the other side of the boat and slaps it on me before I can say a word – and tells me to jump on in. Not sensing I had much choice in the matter, in the water I go, knowing darn well that the snorkel/mask he had put on me had just come right out of someone’s else mouth! [img]/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] Oh well, took a half second to rinse it off and I was off to catch up with everyone else. We had a great time snorkeling, we immediately saw several barracudas – not huge, but big enough for us to keep our distance. Seems like every time we had the camera we didn’t see anything, and every time we didn’t have it, there was something good to shoot. I was going to buy a few water cameras – but there are only so many pictures that you can take underwater and they all end up looking pretty much the same! I am pretty sure that I did get a few pictures of some very small barracuda on our way back to the boat. Amy and I hung around together and saw the anchor and the canon – while the boys saw a nice sized eagle ray. I tried to mostly float quietly on the top of the water and just take in everything beneath me. I just love the water and the world under the waves – it was so peaceful just floating with the waves! I keep looking up to see what was going on back at the boat and it finally seemed that most people were heading back that way. The kids had a great first ocean snorkeling experience - you know how you usually get the masks that leak and have to keep clearing them over and over? Not a single one of us had that problem!

Back to the resort for lunch – seemed like snorkeling worked up an appetite in everyone. We once again packed up the big beach bag (seems like we were in and out of that bag a hundred times a day!) and took turns carrying it on our walk down the beach – just a little heavy with five sets of shoes inside! Today we decided to walk all the way down to visit with Harley and his sister at Coral Seas. We got down there, swam in the waves and stayed and had a few cocktails for Happy Hour. The waves were pretty big down at this end of the beach – not exactly huge like Lake Michigan waves – but pretty big for Negril and so much warmer! Decided that we hadn’t visited the Craft Market, and since it was almost next door, most of us headed over there to see what might be open this late in the afternoon – and on Good Friday. The boys each bought a ring and Harley and Brad went to see “their” coffee man – luckily he was there and we bought some coffee and jerk seasoning from him. I am horrible about saying no to people and feel terrible not looking at every stall – but I was overwhelmed at some of the women’s insistence and their comments. I feel bad that they were having a slow day, but I would never go into some of their stalls after some of the comments I heard! I don’t know how many of the stalls are usually open but it wasn’t hard to imagine how hard it would be to walk through there on a normal day! We walked back to Coral Seas and took a taxi home for our last dinner. Be-Rad decided to meet Harley over at Alfred’s after a short nap. So while he was napping, the kids and I packed up their room. Seems that sometime during the week Amy had showered with the shower curtain not exactly set right and had flooded the bathroom – the water had run under the door, out of the bathroom and had ended up in the corner of the closet. Did they think to say anything to anyone? Nope! The clothes were very damp, some still totally wet and all were very smelly! (Think boys socks!) [img]/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Amy was a day behind in her reading, so she stayed in her room to read and the boys and I decided to play some Uno. We had a little beach dog come up and sit on our patio for the evening – but the boys found it didn’t like peanuts, Pringles or nacho chips – I wonder if it would have liked cheeseburgers! We played one hand that lasted well over an hour – maybe even more! We finished that hand and decided to call it quits. We were shocked to discover that it was almost 2:00 a.m. The boys ran down to the beach outside Alfred’s to see if they could see their dad inside – and were back in two minutes and probably sleeping two minutes after that! I was going to head over after the boys went to sleep – but since it was so late – decided just to go in and pack. So I never really got to hang out there – just another thing on my ever growing list for next time!

Miss Racsan - I am truly enjoying your trip report. Looks like you are about done, so wanted to get my 2-cents in your thread before you didn't see me! I don't know if you remember, but I posted awhile back about going and bringing our kids with us also. Sounds like your kids had just as much fun as ours! Did you happen to budget out your trip? Did it meet your expectations? Do you think that going AI was the way to go with kids? We are thinking about going again this fall with our two boys and had thought that I had proven that AI was the way to go. But wanted a second opinion from someone that did it! Keep going on the trip report, although it looks like it was a little slow this weekend, I'm sure people are enjoying your reports. At least I know that I am!

Re: Trip Report - Negril Gardens April 12-19, 2003

Saturday – Leaving Negril and Jamaica - Our last day at the Gardens. It has gone so fast – but don’t they usually! Failed to mention yesterday the toilet backed up in our room! Earlier in the week it wouldn’t stop running, the day after that there wasn’t any water in it at all so it wouldn’t flush and on Friday evening it was totally plugged up. And I forgot to grab the kid’s extra key from them when I went to sleep. So off to the bar bathroom first thing in the morning! After a small breakfast, we were all off to hang out on the beach for as long as we can. Bus was coming for us at 3:00 p.m. – and we had all of our luggage out of the room by 11:30. They had us store it in the main lobby until our bus came. Kids are thinking that they are hungry and want to go eat at the lunch buffet – just then I sight the PattieMon up the beach – a few hours earlier than other days. Yeah! No way – I yell back to them – come here and try some patties! I get five veggie patties (I really wanted to get a variety, but veggie was all he had in his box) and five cocoa breads – and you guessed it – Danny has to run up to the buffet to get cheese for them! We had been wanting to try patties all week, but every time we saw him we had either just eaten or were going out. Finally – patties! Be-Rad has me save his for the airport – which he never eats – and which I end up taking home with me! We are all out in the water playing catch with the Frisbee when all of a sudden we are surrounded by a huge school of fish that seem to be in some sort of frenzy. They are actually swarming around everyone in the water - jumping out of the water and bumping/flying into us – Amy thinks that the shark the boys saw parasailing is chasing them – and I actually am surprised enough by all of this activity that I look around for fins! The fish do circles around us for maybe ten minutes – there are hundreds of them – and they are all acting pretty crazy – maybe it was their mating season or something. Or maybe it was the full moon! They suddenly disappear as quickly as they came. Little weird – but pretty cool.. I had to run to shore to grab one of our cameras, so hopefully the pictures of the flying fish come out!

Around 2:00 I head up to change and after using their office bathroom to change, Stacy decides that maybe she doesn’t really want all five of us coming through the lobby wet and sandy and changing in their bathroom! Seems like they should have a room for people to change and shower in – but then again our luggage has been just sitting in the lobby all day! She runs off for a minute and finds out that our room has not been cleaned yet – so I grab Amy and head over there to have her change. I send Amy down to the beach to tell the guys to get up here ASAP since our housekeeper is hanging around waiting to clean the room and I wanted to get out of her way. She has done an outstanding job this week – especially since it rained several days and we tracked sand in no matter how hard we tried not to! I even checked and cleaned both of our rooms each day BEFORE the housekeepers showed up – just so they didn’t think that we were really that bad!

The couple getting married today were having their ceremony in the courtyard right outside our room – so I had a great view. I’m still waiting for the boys and Amy to come back from the beach – and now it is almost 2:50 p.m. Where are they? I have to slip by the wedding ceremony in progress and what do I see – they are all standing up at the bar having “one last drink.” Drinks? I am very anal about being on time and getting things done on time - so standing, drinking at the bar when you haven’t changed, haven’t packed the rest of the stuff into the suitcases and the bus is coming in less then 10 minutes just isn’t something that I can do. They, of course, don’t think that there is a problem – they say they can change in one minute. And they really do. They change and throw all of their towels and soaking wet bathing suits on the floor of the room! So as the bus is loading, I am trying to mop up their mess, pack up the wet stuff in plastic bags and rearrange stuff in the carryons. I finally just shove the wet stuff into a plastic bag in one of the kids’ suitcases!

Off we go with one stop at Beaches to drop off a tennis racquet and another at Sandals to pick up another two couples. Boy can these drivers ever make some tight turns and squeeze through those narrow driveways. I betcha that there wasn’t two inches on either side of the van at Sandals. We make one potty/Ting/Red Stripe break on the very very far other side of Lucea - not exactly sure where. They were setting up a stage there and there were several vendor stalls there – that’s all I know.

We arrive at the airport and have to almost run to keep up with our porter. We pass Dummy and Heffer but can’t stop to talk. Be-Rad is staying behind so he can get at least one more smoke in – he has promised me that he will quit smoking when we get back! We will have to see! [Five weeks later – he said he’s cut down – but not quit yet – small progress!] The guys searching our luggage were both very nice and joking around – not like the seriousness we saw last year – and they are all done searching by the time Be-Rad shows up. After receiving our boarding passes we head back out and notice what great timing we had again. There were 30-40 people standing in line to have their luggage checked! We buy a few bottles of rum cream and some spices to bring back as gifts and Be-Rad takes off to buy some French fries – seems he has the munchies (for some reason – seems he found a brownie somewhere!) – and I get to sit with backpacks and all of our carryons! As I’m sitting there our flight time starts to back up. Never have seen that before! Instead of 7:15 p.m. – it moves back to 7:00 p.m. – and then 6:45. It is already 6:20 p.m. and I’m getting a little nervous – I’ve collected up two of the kids but Be-Rad and Danny are no where to be seen. 6:30 p.m. comes and goes – 6:35 p.m. still no Be-Rad. Now I am starting to get a little cranky – every time we vacation – he disappears to have one last smoke. We almost missed a flight once to Vegas because he thought that he had plenty of time – they were paging him and had to open the gate back up and unseal the plane door for us – that was close! Be-Rad does make it back – but where are the fries? Seems he and Danny thought that they were the only ones hungry! Hmmm – glad I had one piece of cocoa bread to give Amy and Eddie! We wander up to the gate and actually make it inside with a few minutes to spare! We are way up in front – and the boys keep trying to get a view of the cockpit – pilot comes out and tell them that they can come in after they finish their pre-checks. They get to go in and actually sat up there talking to the crew for quite a few minutes. Later on in the flight – Amy goes up to use the restroom and never comes back. I find her up there chatting with the flight attendants – they say she is fine up there and not in the way – so I head back to my seat. A few minutes later, I hear over the intercom, “Ladies and Gentlemen, the flight attendants will now collect the questionnaires!” I look up and can’t believe it is Amy up there doing the intercom announcement! She went on and on about how nice they were - perfect ending to her vacation!

Sunday – Traveling back home from Detroit – Very non-eventful flight (Be-Rad was snoring a few rows behind me most of the way!) – and we landed back in Detroit about midnight. Off through Immigrations and then get stopped in Customs. Customs officer has singled out Danny – “Any fruit or vegetables? Danny looks at him and then back at us like “What?” He repeats again, “Have you brought back with you any fruit or vegetables? Danny shakes his head and says, “No.” Then the Custom Official says, “Even the very nice coconut in your suitcase that you brought back for a souvenir?” Danny looks at him and back at us – he is totally bewildered, “What coconut?” Customs officer then shakes his head and smiles and says “Ok- you can all move on.” What a little trickster he was! Wonder if would have cared about the pattie that was in the carryon that I forgot about until I got home! ( :

We get home and start to unpack the suitcases. I open mine – and right on top was a piece of paper. Wow, they must have searched my bag and left a note – and boy I didn’t blame them – I had tons of junk just stuffed in there! But no – it wasn’t a note saying that they searched my bag – it was our marriage license! How weird, I think to myself, I put our marriage license in the CD case for Moondance - Hmm – now where is the CD? I unpack the entire bag and it is nowhere to be found! Now, wasn’t that a conscientious thief?! ( : They stole my CD but took the time to open it, discovered our license was in there and dropped it right back in – but I’m very glad that they did leave it! Minutes later I discover that my makeup bag was unzipped - lotion and matching perfume were both missing, but they left the diamond earrings that I had forgotten to pack in my carryon! This is the first time that I have ever had anything taken from my luggage – so I’m very lucky and thankful – but still a little bit irritated too!

Tuesday morning – Wake up to find very nice rash down under my arms along both of my sides – nothing on my front or back. Very itchy – but calamine lotion seems to make it stop. Just a little souvenir from our trip.

We had a great time - and I’m so glad that we took the kids along. It wasn’t a typical vacation – but a great one nevertheless! Kids were pretty well behaved – although I could hear the boys trying to kill each other once at the beginning of the trip! Seems Eddie threw Danny on the floor and stomped on his ankle, so Danny threw the room keys at Eddie hard enough to slice his leg! I could hear them from across the pathway, so had to wander over and remind them that there were other people staying upstairs (luckily they weren’t even there and they also had some kids with them so hopefully they would be able to tolerate the commotion!) and to keep it down. I reminded them about the conversation that we had on the way to the airport. On the way to Detroit, we told them first, that Jamaica wasn’t a place where we really wanted to spend any time in the hospital. So we really didn’t want to have any broken bones set or for anyone to need stitches (they are notorious for bleeding!), so to please be careful. No fooling around, no unnecessary roughness or pushing each other off cliffs, etc. And then I tried to explain to them that although they had every right to be there and to have fun, that most of the rest of the people there were going to be on vacation, and they were there to get away from their own kids and weren’t going to appreciate a bunch of horsing around, bickering, whining, etc. And you know, after that first day, except for them picking on their sister and trying to drown each other in the ocean, they all pretty behaved themselves - for the most part! They are actually three pretty great kids – I’m lucky to have them as stepchildren! Now Be-Rad – he misbehaved all of the time! I think that there is a time and place to do things – on your honeymoon – and with your kids always hovering – was not the place. But who was I to tell him what he could and couldn’t do! ( :

Last year I was so depressed when we left – mostly because I never got to see very much of Negril or the island. This time, even though we stayed AI, I saw so much more and felt so much better about leaving – if that is at all possible! Plus I figure, after ten or so more anniversary trips, I will be an expert like so many others here on the boards! We are for sure going back for our anniversary next year – but are thinking about maybe a short trip later on in the year after we get everything settled. A real honeymoon! For now I have to sell my house, move up north and find a new job! So it will be a busy summer! Hopefully no time to catch any PNS.

The End of My Trip #2

I never got a pm - know that I can get them because I just got one from someone else a week ago. Try again! Birthday present, hmmm - two tickets to paradise? [img]/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
