Keesha I think I have been 40 something times now, and there has never been any such thing as a &quot;bad&quot; trip to Jamaica, but I tell you this one just stands out as so unique I don't even know how to tell you.

For one thing I was able to breath and not worry about money and really enjoy some things because my friend let me stay with her.

When I sat down and calculated what the hotel bills alone would have been I said WOW how have I been doing that???

That doesn't mean I can do this each trip. There comes a time when you do wnat to be on the beach, and also there are times that you can't intrude on a person, but I got THIS particular trip and THIS particular experience, and I got to listen to the sounds of a neighborhood and be IN one.

It just occurred to me that there has been many a night when I am at a hotel, like at For Real, and Brenda and I are sitting out on the porch and we hear these distant sounds and wonder where they are coming from. This time I was privilaged to STAY where the distant sounds were coming from. Man one night, I think it was a Saturday. Some place was blasting music until about 8:00 AM Sunday morning. All I know is I wish I knew where that party was so I could find it next time. They were JAMMIN

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Marilyn</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Little pieces of things are coming to mind now, and another special night was when my friend introduced me to African movies. I had heard about them, but had never seen one.

We had a nice evening at home (this was so much nicer than being in a hotel), and watched Bad Blood part 1,2 and 3.

I woke up the next morning still thinking about the movies and what a good acting job them did in them.

I bet Lady Z already knows about them, but she introduced me to Bollywood and I bet she knows about these too.

We watched Amile Organe and laughed our behinds off, and then watched One Love, and just had a movie night. That was real fun and relaxing, staying home in Jamaica. </div></div>

I was just reading the report for the 50th time and saw that I really messed up but you can't edit now...the movie we watched and laughed at so was SMILE ORANGE

Marilyn, staying in someones yard takes Jamaica to a different level....well at least it did for me. In '00 I spent six months in Jamaica, only stayed in a hotel for 2 days when I went to visit a friend that came down for a couple of weeks and stayed in Negril. What a experience!

Clap Clap Clap, your reports are always a pleasure to read and your photos are beautiful.

Your friend and I keep missing each other, perhaps this next time in April we will link up. I am very glad you got to have a trip like you did. When you don't really plan ahead does it seem all the sweeter?

</div></div>Hi Sis, it was so great seeing you too. Now you know your girl was sipping on some Appleton when she did this report, so I might have spelled stuff any kind of way.

Good eye </div></div>Dude thank you. I adore this picture myself, it is as if the building perspective draws your eye down to the man on the beach, then the two rocks in the foreground draw you back. But I say give all the credit to Jamaica.



Along the way in the van I could not yell STOP everytime I wanted to, but man I saw some shots that would have made your jaw drop. They are in the photo shop of my mind now.

By the way, that's MY footprint.

Re: Every hoe have dem stik a bush

Going down to AP you must have gone over Spur Tree Hill or did you turn off right before it? I can't remember if Gutters is before or after...

I don't really remember. Our driver never said much really. We went to on town that looked really kinda modern with shopping plaza's etc. THat's about all I remember.

Re: Every hoe have dem stik a bush

It must be before then, because you would have been yelling for photo stops if you went up the hill, I think
