The trip has made a world of difference for me in ways that I coud never explain on this BB. Thank you for enjoying my journey as well.

Okay now that I'm alllll caught up, I'll get a little sappy

Nylah,

First, thank you for keeping notes and compiling everything cohesively to share with us, I know it’s a labor of love

You provided magnificent photos and keepsake videos. Even if you hadn’t graced us with those, your writing allowed all 5 senses to be engaged. The sights, the smells, the sounds, the textures for touch and if I didn’t know any better I could taste the raindrops on my tongue and all the food you ate as well. And I had some good laffs along the way Your report was an enriching experience. I can only imagine what the liberating bike ride did for you, I could feel the stillness in the pictures and just gasped at the sight of natural beauty. Heck I felt like I had a life experience of my own through your eyes and words, it was just that good.

My plans for going to Portie fell through so I’m glad I got to tag along like a fly on the wall, now I’m even more excited to make sure those plans don’t fall through again.

Thank you for the soul satisfying dose of sensory overload you’ve given me. It was most enjoyable.

We were gonna go on Saturday night but that is when we decided to drive to Black Rock for the Nine Night party instead I wasnt in the mood to be trapped inside a club that night. It was nicer to be outside then.

Good grief woman! Why you need to get all sappy on me

Thank you for your kind words. I honestly dont know how to react to everyone's big up! It truly does amaze me because I just dont see the fuss but I graciously accept all compliments

Doing this report was as much for me as it was for you mad ppl b/c I wanted to remember my good time in JA and replace all the other bad memories...I think one more trip in February will successfully erase all bad memories

Re: Seeing the forest thru the trees

Page 60 of this trip report held my interest the same way page 1 did. Just goes to show how our little island can still move and inspire us.

I loved your description of the inhabitants in the Blue Mountains Nylah. ...<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-family: 'Arial Black'">&quot;They don’t give up their dignity because they don’t have much money. They were gracious and warm and <span style="font-size: 17pt"><span style="text-decoration: underline">choose</span></span> to hold their heads up.&quot;</span></span>... I think they could teach the rest of us some valuable lessons about life.
