Hey Now,

Life is tough all over. Things never appear what they seem. I found this quote in today's Gleaner:

"Especially if you start out from Negril.

Every time I go for a swim on that glorious seven-mile beach and bask in the mild crystal-blue water, I marvel at my luck in living a country where this kind of magical experience is available every day of the year. Sure, not everyone can afford an all-inclusive. But anyone with gas money or bus fare has access to the powder-white sand.

Actually, I do not go there nearly often enough, and every time I do I mentally kick myself for not coming more often. Like everything else that is easily accessible it is always, 'Cho, next week'. But I know on my deathbed one of my great regrets is going to be not visiting Negril every time I had the chance."

I know of many reasons Why not to go. Still I think of a smoke and rumdrink up on the rocks by Rick's and recall Bogart's reply to police questions.
" Why, Mssr. Rick did you come to Casablanca?" "The waters sir," Rick replied. "Sir we are in the dessert." " Yea, I was misinformed."

Hey rasta , I just returned from our 3rd trip to Negril. Each time I kick my own ass for leaving. Its a very spiritual and moving island . My friend that took us the first time told me the island had heartbeat , it took me a few days to relax and get out of my "american" attitude of rush rush. Once relaxed i could finally feel it and now I feel it as soon as my feet touch the ground outside the airport. I will return again for sure , hey i know the beach pushers within a mile of the hotel by name now. They know its not worth walking across the soft sand for "just one minute of your time mon" lol eveyone needs to make a living somehow !!
peace

Hey Now, AH Jamaica! no place like it. Negril Beach is seven miles long. Even with development you can find a quiet spot. Slept out on the beach one night with the sand fleas. In the morning a woman woke me with a kiss. Being young and dumb & broke I turned down her offer. She still gave me some banana bread and a mango for breakfast. Later that morning a group of middle aged Germans jogged by naked. I'm usually broke when leaving Negril. So I love walking the beach towards Green Island. Leaving all my troubles behind. Man, I've been many places with good sunsets but Negril is my favorite. Let's just say the: Come Back Mon, Come back to Negril Jamaica West Indies.

no place in the world like Negril. I go there once or twice a year and the day i leave to go home is always so sad. I just stare out the window of the plane looking at the island in the distance and think to myself " i gotta get back there soon".

Negril is a place where time stands still, you have no concept of time there since there are no deadlines or anything to rush for . You are truly on island time.

I spent the night once with my girl on some beach chairs on the cliffs of negril and slept there all night. Woke up to a worker from the hotel making some blue mountain coffee. What a way to wake up. Damn , i gotta get online adn book a trip!!

Negril is about 90 minute drive from MObay so if you only have 8 hours you may not have time. However there is a little known trick to beat the 90 minute drive. You can get a puddle jumper at the airport to fly you from mobay to Negril and it only takes a few minutes by plane. Its a little pricey but it sure saves time.

BCC is a cool place ot stay, small private owned and right on the cliffs. You dont have all the things you would get at sandals but you have a much better time there than you would at sandals. Sandals is for honeymoons and its in a very touristy part of negril . But BCC is far off from that and you got an Herb man next door at Elviss wood shack.

Everymoring people come around with old liquer bottles full of OJ, get it trust me. Its the best OJ u will ever have. And if you ask the staff, during the dya or at night they will whip up a pot of blue mountain coffee for you. Ask them to make som eright before sunset, roll up a few J's get a cup of coffee and pull up a chair

well if you cant wait you can get a bag at the airport and ask the driver if you can smoke. But herb at airports is tourist pot and kind of nasty and more expensive, like US prices. Make sure you ask how much the cab will be befor eyou get in. and look for a good deal , alot o ftimes a driver will say $80 to get there and another will offer it for $50. I think BCC has a shuttle a nd since you are reserved you can call and arrange that. i think shuttle is like $20. but get a cab or bus that you dont share. you dont wantot ride 90 minutes to negril with some assholes who just go tmarried on the way to sandals. best to get a cab to yourself and smoke the whole way to Negril.

If you are facing the gate of BCC on the right hand side you will see a small wood shack next to it. Thats Elvis's place. he will get you what you need there. If he aint around there is a guy at BCC named Danny who has really good herb as well. Elvis gave me around 3-4 zips of herb for $80 US and got a $20 tip from me. The herb was just harvested and still on the stalks and was all top colas of a very nice sativa. I dont know what he has now but im sure its goood. Have a great time bro. If i can help point you in the direction of anything else let me know. I been there alot and done all the tourist traps form the waterfalls to swimmng with the dolphins. Most is a waste. Just find a spot, roll a fe w and relax





If you got to 7 mile beach get dropped off at a bar called "Alberts" and you will find a guy named Michael on th ebeach who will provide you with anyting you need. You want a drink? Ask Michael, he will get it for you. You want an umnbrella and chairs? ask Michael he will get it for you. Want to smoke a joint and not be bothered by police? Ak michael and he will look out ofr you and if he sees police he will walk up to them and talk to em to distract them while you smoke. Want a jetski? Yup ask Michael, he can get that to. Oh and if you ran out of pot? ask Michael ,he got that too!! Alsdo if you run out at BCC just ask a neighbor , they all smoke there
