nah man after all the money I have given away to lawyers these past few years I have earned a few things for myself

Besides, I am not gonna say a whole bunch on a public BB, but if you really want to be there, I would still give them a call b/c they maybe willing to work with the price for you........I learned this on another travel site so I will say as much as they were willing to say as well.

Thanks Nanook

I truly wished I had more time (and a bit more money ) to spend at Kanopi House. It was totally my groove and I felt comfortable there. I did add an additional day to my stay b/c I just wasnt ready to leave But I had a budget to obey since I had a lot to get done on this teip.

So, when you coming Nanook?...we've still got some spaces open for high season (when you're shivering in your boots up in minnisnowta )....just think of sliding into that warm blue sea! ....would love to have a BEAD chat with you!!

I think you would love it, if you love TB....same kind of vibe but only 40 min. from the airport.

Consider yourself lucky that you went to Port A after the road was &quot;fixed&quot;. My time there over 12 years ago was a nightmare. But, I still loved every minute - no matter how much my innards were rearranged.

I love both places you have showed us. JaJewel, I think I need to come stay with you and Mister Mister. From what Nylah says, it sounds like a slice of heaven. And, I could use that right now.

And, Kanopi -- I am off to Google that. Sounds something just perfect for me and a good rest.

You're absolutely welcome anytime, bink!...would love to meet you....

You did very well

I am assuming you drove yourself to all of these places, so you must be a pro at driving in Ja by now. </div></div>




Welllllll......................................... ......................


By day 2 in at Kanopi House I had my own driver who took me around and then when I hooked up with some friends they took over the driving It was better than having them yank on the steering wheel when I was about to hit a pothole

The second week my brother was there so I tossed the keys to him </div></div>

To me driving in Jamaica is NOT relaxing, unless you know the road well, unknown potholes are killers. But every time you do it, it becomes a little easier. With that said I love being a passenger, tho it's a rare occasion.

Nice report, I'm really enjoying it. </div></div>

agreed. YOu have to stay alert at all times to dodge things...potholes, goats, people.......

I think that is why I was so tense by time I got to Portie. Plus I was staining to see in the dark. I still had my contacts in when I should have had on my glasses so that I could see better at night.

I was okay with the process as long as I wasnt driving thru the heart of town at rush hour. But if I wanted to play tourist in a new area for a change, then driving and taking things in werent compatible. So I was grateful for the offers from others to drive.

The main driver I had wouldnt name a price. He just said for me to pay what I felt to pay him at the end b/c he just wanted to be sure I was safe and had a nice time. You cant beat that at all.

Re: Seeing the Forest Thru the Trees

enjoying your report nylah

i find traveling alone is great - you only have to project yourself - and people are more open to talking with you and showing you around - if you take a friend - the assumption is you're fine - or sometimes they like one person more than the other

the only other travel partner that has opened new adventures for me is abu - he's a magnetic - and also sets the right tone of what i'm about . . .

continue - i'm hanging on

but i can't see any pictures/videos from here

i'm glad you didn't diss us - this is so good!
