Boundie...you could have just posted the picture of Red from the last early airport experience!

I am always around reading...I just don't post too much because my life is kind of boring.

Except, I think if it is at all possible, we are actually more pale in these photos than we were last year before our trip. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/704555_dwl.gif[/img]

((((BB & Red)))
I had posted a response to this before but apparently I did it in the wrong thread. Man..this would be a fantasy of mine...someone to whisk me off to somewhere...arrange everything and it would be a complete surprise. Hanging on and waiting with abated breath for the rest. Please don't keep us waiting [img]/forums/images/graemlins/bannana_purple.gif[/img] [img]/forums/images/graemlins/70409-waytogo.gif[/img]

Re: Surprise! A trip report

Finally it is time to board the plane. We find our seats and Red is just in shock. He keeps looking around, looking at his watch, looking at me, and saying "I can't believe I am going to Jamaica. I can't believe it. I should be at work right now and instead I am on a plane going to Jamaica." [img]/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] He was so happy. It made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside to know I was making him so happy. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/70377-loveeyes.gif[/img] [img]/forums/images/graemlins/70377-loveeyes.gif[/img]

Red was recently promoted at work and has been under a lot of stress. I recently started a new job, that I hate so far, and have really been looking forward to this little get-a-way. I don't think the timing could have been better fot this trip. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/70371-jump.gif[/img] [img]/forums/images/graemlins/70371-jump.gif[/img] I was pretty excited too. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/70371-jump.gif[/img] [img]/forums/images/graemlins/70371-jump.gif[/img]

We land in Mo Bay and go through immigration together. This is always a pain for us. The Jamaican citizens line is always always always shorter than the visitor line, but somehow I am always through immigration before Red. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] I think in his line there were 8 people, in my line about 80 people, and I still got done before him. Usually it just means that whoever is done first goes down to baggage claim and gets the bags, but this time was different. Red and I didn't check any luggage. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/70409-waytogo.gif[/img] I was standing at the customs counter, without any of the bags b/c Red had them, for a good 10 minutes before Red finally came down the stairs from immigration. I almost asked what took so long, but caught myself before I said it. I took a deep breath of the hot humid air, and slowed my internal clock down. We were in Jamaica now, no one is ever in a hurry unless they are driving. Remember that. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/70409-waytogo.gif[/img]

We get through customs with no problem and go out front. We are bombarded with people asking if wi "look a ride" "No Man, Red replies, wi alright" Red and I had made arrangements for a driver to meet us. We spot the dirver holding up a big sign:

<font color="red"> BIG RED </font>

and walk in his direction. His name is Lee and he provides us a nice ride to Negril. That would be the last pleasant thing that happened for a few hours. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] [img]/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Thanks Sammy, I gotta say, the only motivation for keeping the secret for so long was knowing that he had kept a big one, regarding a makeover show, from me.

I am really really working to get this thing done. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/70409-waytogo.gif[/img] [img]/forums/images/graemlins/70409-waytogo.gif[/img] I am only sorry I didn't take more pictures of the journey.

Re: Surprise! A trip report

You know, I started reading and was wondering, "why is she saying she is going to surprise Red?" She has posted that she is going to JA for the weekend..BB, that was a big risk.

Glad it worked out though [img]/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I can't wait to see the rest of the pictures.

Fortunate for me, he has been so busy at work there hasn't been anytime for him to be on the board. In fact he still hasn't even seen any of this report.
