Oh my. I can picture you watching your visit come to an end as you gazed out the window and sang every now and then. I did the same.

Thank you for sharing your and Imanni’s wonderful trip with us. I give you props for doing the mommy and toddler vacation thing. You did good. I think little boys may be more challenging on vacations then girls. I took mine when he was older and lawd what the child put me through.

The pictures of Imanni are priceless. He’s truly an adorable one on two feet. And honeybun, it was really nice finally seeing one of you too! I’m soooo glad you like NBCC, my favorite Negril home away from home.

So wish our paths could have cross this time…oh so close! We definitely have to try to make it happen…soon. Bravo on the report, Bandanna [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/icon_hug.gif[/img]

Re: As Deep as the Ocean...

Bandy...wonderful report. I haven't caught up but Immani is too cute. It was nice to see NBCC and Carol in your report. They were super nice to me too when I was with the Mess. I really appreciate them being nice to the mommas. Ohh and everybody also thought the Mess' Daddy was Jamaican.

Beautiful Bandy [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/icon_hug.gif[/img]

I shared in your excitement along the way with countdown and pm’s [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/yahoo.gif[/img] And then the time finally came and you were off to Jamaica.... [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/breakdance.gif[/img]

While you were writing your report, I was creating my own vacation memories.

When I returned, your report was the first item of business. I printed it in its entirety cause I didn’t want to miss a thing [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70388-shameonyou.gif[/img]

It kept me company on the days when I was at home sick [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/feelsick.gif[/img] and I tired of watching court shows and insurance commercials. When I returned to the land of the living, your report got me through the incline and resistance levels on the treadmill and elliptical [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/discosmilie.gif[/img]. I couldn’t stop reading [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/yahoo.gif[/img] [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/proud_jamaica.gif[/img]

Many times I laughed [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/704555_dwl.gif[/img]as well as felt your frustrations [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/crybaby.gif[/img]

Many times I just closed my eyes and thought back to how I felt when I encountered certain situations that were similar to those you described.

I totally enjoyed and loved every moment in your report [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img] I’m so happy for you to have some “me” time this trip. And so so glad that you found "him" again, that was very touching. And your description of the memories and when you saw him again...very endearing.

The last full day is always full of wonderment, including panic attacks [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/helpsmilie.gif[/img] Or in my case, first full day when my travel mates usually loose me (monk said I need a GPS) [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/nahnahnay.gif[/img]

And you spent time with Swedish and others, I tried so hard to link up with my friend before she left. I even missed the opportunity to link up with the two of you while you were in LA [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif[/img]

I’m with Immani on the coconut [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/sick.gif[/img], I ate and drank it out of not wanting to hurt someone feelings, I shoulda been selfish!

I look forward to the excitement of your future trips.

Thank you for sharing your feelings in an honest report.

Bless you for all the playful pics and videos too [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70409-waytogo.gif[/img]

Mokatee [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/blushing2.gif[/img] Girl, if only I had stayed a little longer... To meet you and Vi, I would have been in heaven. Good people and Jamaica are some of the best things God made! [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/icon_hug.gif[/img]


Shug [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70459-hugs.gif[/img] I loved your report too, and your ability to stay positive come what may, absolutely shines!! [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/notworthy.gif[/img]


Vi if I had to choose between your company and cooked food, girl I would starve!! [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img]
So sad we did not get to link this time, but I am glad you enjoyed my report, as you are the Queen of suck-you-in-till-the-end trip reports! [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70409-waytogo.gif[/img] [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/notworthy.gif[/img]

Hi Bandana,

It only took me about a month to finish this report. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/blush.gif[/img] But I'm finally done.

Thanks for sharing your trip. Your BIG man is cute as ever. Loved his videos.

Great photos, great writing, looks like lots of fun.

Now I went out and bought this dang umbrella stroller thinking I can control Imanni in the crowds/lines if I have him strapped down [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/rolleyes.gif[/img]

The boy wants no part of it.
