Gold Nugget Negril

We have traveled this year to Cancun (June 2009) and Puerto Plata (July) and were ready for another Caribbean vacation. I thought a return trip to Jamaica would be nice (we have had two previous trips to Jamaica ...

... or better yet, the River Swim-up Suites which have recently opened. They are spacious and absolutely beautiful. <br><br><br><br>Morning came early. Breakfast at Bayside was everything I expected and more. Excellent selections freshly made Danish selections (my FAV) and egg/omelet station. Just what I was looking for. They also offer a smoothie bar, which was very popular. <br><br><br><br>Lunch @ Café Grill ...

... br><br>Dinner last night was delicious. We were sat out on the terrace (great view of the place) and it started to rain (properly rain) half way through our starters. The waiters - who appeared fairly used to this - quickly ushered us all inside, brought our tables in, and carried on as if nothing had happened. It was quite funny. The rain didn't last long, but an electrical storm lasted long into the night. We sat up for some time watching ...

... at sunset. It was a lively spot - lots of people, lots of cliff jumping (not from us, we hadn't taken our swimmers) and some good music. The evening was interrupted by a tropical shower, but the band carried on even if the jumpers didn't. The rain thankfully didn't last too long so we didn't get too wet walking back to the Caves. <br><br>Last night's dinner was something special.

I spent almost a week in Negril, a long stretch of beaches along the western tip of Jamaica. Very popular with tourists. I walked the beach several times and I've been annoyed by the "farmers" and the like on a regular basis. They are sometimes aggressive. Better to walk along the road than the beach at night to/from the restaurant for obvious reasons. Nice sunsets.

The fun never stops around here... This past weekend I: 1) Went to Negril with Jess and Joe 2) Played Risk for the first time since Penn. 3) Danced on the Beach with Jess, Joe, and Nan 4) Filled my purse with sand when I put my slippers (flip-flops) into it to facilitate the beach dancing. 5) Did something with someone... 6) Was trapped inside on Saturday due to rain 7) Ventured out Sat ...

... cries when they leave too! As they also say in Jamaica.....SOON COME. That means see you soon. **************** Then we had to leave 5 days later....waaaaay to short a trip. Luckily my police officer and I swapped info and made a plan for me to come back and do it all again, Jamaica stylee!! So the minute I got home I bought my ticket to go back 2 months later.
