You can never be boring if you wake up in that skin you are in.

I just got home this morning from 4 days in New York, and will soon be off to Florida....Jamaica soon come in July. I hope you get a chance to go. I'm sure Jamaica misses you.

I haven't had a Marilyn life lesson in a while...thank you Marilyn for giving us so much to enjoy and LEARN. Talk and wishing can only keep you going for so long...eventually you've got to &quot;do&quot; and act upon what you believe in!

I've always loved that about your posts to us...positive affirmations about living, caring for people and of course Jamaica.

Thanks for the inspiration!

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Marilyn</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I always thought that I could not stand to do a quick turn around to Jamaica….love it too much just to get a little taste, but for the money (save a lot by not hanging around you know), I’d say it was a blast.

They gave me a nice free drink and free breakfast too…They treated me well here. My room was nice, the bathroom especially, and the water pressure was fantastic. I’d stay there again, no question.

So T picked me up right on time, and I was out on the front doing this trip report. I got searched THREE times at the airport……searched searched and then searched again.. Well I was just there a few days ago, and only staying for one day, I’d be suspicious of me too. Of course when you ain’t got nothing bad, they can search all they like.

We were 35 minutes late out of Mobay, and I am in the air right now. Found out that you have to be over the US for the WIFI to work, then they shut it off when you descend, so maybe not worth it in the long run, but I deny myself little as you can see.

I’m glad I retired when I did. I’m glad I’m still young enough to enjoy it, and healthy right now too. If someone ever wakes you up from anesthesia and tells you that you have malignant cancer stage 2, I guess you will then understand why I do what I do. Linda McCartney, (Paul of the Beatles) wife DIED while I was going through treatment. He is a billionaire and if he could have BOUGHT her life, he would have. The difference between the two of us was I caught mine earlier than she, and I had the LEAST aggressive form, where as she had the MOST aggressive form.

Do not put you life off, Do not put you happiness off. Just DO IT.

Dont know you Marilyn, but love your attitude!.
I did the same thing last summer and went to that exact place in montego bay. Loved it.
Did you go to the place called Blue Beat. I found it very nice too.
Ive stayed at the Wexford too a few years back and loved it too.
GOOD FOR YOU!

Re: Not sure what to call it..a quickie

Heck yeah Marilyn

I am not sure i could do a weekend run, not with my life the way it is at the moment, living where there are no direct flights.

But I love the idea of it, the romance of &quot;just go&quot;

Re: Not sure what to call it..a quickie

When I was in south Florida a while back, I went to JA for a 4-day quickie. It is very convenient when you can get <span style="text-decoration: line-through">cheap</span> inexpensive, direct flights. Well worth it.

Glad you are enjoying yourself, Marilyn, and thanks for sharing your experiences.
