Negril/OchoRios - Trip #12 Revelations and Reconciliation

Re: Negril/OchoRios - Trip #12 Revelations and Reconciliation





From there we were "finished", but you know the girls, we had to get food, so it was Mothers. I got the fried chicken, and they make KFC look stupid.

Marshall likes us. We like Marshall. We are not ready to go to our lonely hotel. He offers to take us where he gets his van washed (every day), and he says there is basketball and soccer matches there.

Basketball + Soccer= MENNNNNNNNNN let's go.

So here I am in the middle of this big field eating mothers chicken, and if there is one man out there there are 200. Shoot me. I don't wanna DO anything to them, mi just wanna look. we ain't got no men in Memphis.

The girls are LOVING this. Classy has a few pictures, I was too shame to take any. They still can in no way capture the event.

According to Miss Sassy she was there as well, but in the back of someone's van sleep. yeah right.

After this, Marshall takes us back to Skycastles and we pay him way more than he asked for because he is worth every penny. Yes, I have the number, and yes, we need to give him some business. He is PRECIOUS.

Now you see how a day with me can go. I often don't make plans, I have great instincts. We must have been offered 80,000 tours walking the streets of Ochii, and he wasn't even talking to us. I walked up to HIM, touched nose to nose and said "I'm depressed." Something just said, "he can make you feel better." And, he did.

Cathy is longing for her Negril/breadfruit and that special someone. SHe calls us and tells us that she is leaving for Negril and whoever wants the room can have it. We will miss her, but we want her happy. Bottom line.

WAe have dubbed k-0 the love shack, probably due to it's first resident [img]/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
So Miss Classy speaks up. She is taking it for the final night, and I miss her already.

We both pack. We can't avoid it any longer.
Sassy returns and we talk J into taking us all the way to St. Ann's bay for some more of the melt in your mouth fry chicken.

Tonight we are supposed to go out, but one by one everyone calls me and backs out. For the record Ochee did tell me she would go out, but she also told me she is very tired, so I skip it.

My guy has had to pull one of those crazy Jamaican double shift as his resort, so we can only talk by phone, but we have said our goodbyes.

Alone in the room on my final night in Jamaica, I fall asleep to the sound of the tree frogs.

Tears and champagne



This is us on the final morning right before parting. We have given the final tips and my things go back to Miss Cherry to keep for next time.

Everything is done. We had one finaly breakfast with Curry, and none of us could bear to go down to Fisherman's to say goodbye.

Classy and I leave first. Shirley, family and Sassy will leave later. Cathy is in Negril and sounding happy, and Lady Z gets to stay another day.

At the last minute I get a surprise, I get to meet Capital from the board. Hubba Hubba :love:

Then it is to the van. Classy and I cry off and on all the way to Sangster and no amount of Red Stripes will make it better.

We are pulled over in a police block and our driver is ticketed for no seat belt and a cracked windshield. I hate that mess.

She is scheming and plotting and planning her return when she is not sleeping. I wore her OUT. I'm wide awake.

When we get to the airport we hit M'ville and kid around with the bartenders, and yes, eat.

The plane is delayed slightly due to instrument problems (Magic !!!!!!), and then we are off. I feel like my heart is being ripped out (and no it is not about my renewed love), it's Jamaica, and my girls, and my dorm fun, and and and ......

Too soon I'm back in Memphis, see Classy through customs, a last glimpse, then good bye little sister.

My limo is outside waiting as promised, and I get home just fine after almost killing myself.

Revelations: Somethings were meant to be so why not let them be.....and stop worrying about it.

Reconciliation: Welcome back to my heart baby.

The End

Re: Negril/OchoRios - Trip #12 Revelations and Reconciliation

Oh no, it's too soon to be over....
I always feel that way when I'm at Sangster waiting for the plane to take off, but this is the first time I've felt it reading a trip report.

One thing for sure Marilyn, I'm not going back until I can go back with Girlfriend tours. I have never spent more than a day in Ochi, so I'm due.

Thanks to you, sassi, classy, ochee, sistacalf, lady z and crew for one of the best trips I've never taken. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/704555_dwl.gif[/img]

You know that would make a nice business slogan. You are very welcome kindred spirit.

Re: Negril/OchoRios - Trip #12 Revelations and Reconciliation

I feel like I was on that trip w/ you guys. What FUN!! Excellent trip report. I want you guys to go back soon so I can have the JA feelings/experience at home all over at no cost to me until I get to JA. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I felt the anxiety when your departure day got closer. I hate to know that I only have 1 or 2 more full days left in JA. It's so depressing, but like you I try to make the most of them and not tarnish them w/ sad feelings I can wallow in at home and not in JA [img]/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] . I make every effort to do and say everything I will regret NOT doing and saying once I get home. I can relate to that love-hate relationship w/ Sangster. I love to see Sangster when I arrive, but I hate to see the airport when I have to leave.

Thanks so much for sharing your trip w/ us.

Marilyn, I have tears in my eyes at the end of your report, it was wonderful. We will probably not be able to go back this year, so this Board will have to be my fix til I get there. Thank for for writing this. IRIE *IG

Re: Negril/OchoRios - Trip #12 Revelations and Reconciliation

Ooohh I hate that feeling..when you know you have to leave and they know you have to leave...but no one wants to say it..I have felt this many many times in JA and I was feeling this while reading and knowing your trip was ending...*sigh*

Thank you Marilyn this was great while it lasted...

Re: Negril/OchoRios - Trip #12 Revelations and Reconciliation

Marilyn I could just feel my tears come at the end of your report. It hurts so bad to leave and say good bys. I always think that each time it will be easier but it never is and I always feel like I leave a big junk of my heart behind.
