Now the events start getting fuzzy. I guess I write as I remember it.

3/15 went home...

 

Informal report:

We made the trip once again. Last year we finally won our 3 free days making us repeaters who are now ineligible to win again since we have won both times. I can remember when we 1st started going to the repeater party thinking… who are these crazy people that have been here over 30 times. Hmmm guess that’s makes us nuts too. Thank God we like deviled eggs. OK enough bullshit and onto the trip report. We stayed 3/6 - 3-15. Lobster is every other Friday,  3/6 it was served 3/13 was not. The towel card is in effect and it works well. 2 towels per person. Food was great, two omelet stations at breakfast, Charlie always had the longest line; pasta stations, martini bars and such were all up and running. The old Scotch Bonnet has a new name and the service is great. Waitress service and a menu including grilled fish makes it a must do for lunch. Piano bar is better than ever, even pre Dave, (LW now playing at Beaches / Sandals as Ultimate Chocolate). The combo of both guys at the Hedo Piano Bar works great including some local talent blowing on sax. KL is walking the property at all hours making sure things are OK which I found refreshing. Bumped into him at 3am in the disco and he was asking how everything was going. More impressed was the fact that all the staff was happy to see him. Good Comments: overall food was great, Gray Goose at the main bar, lobster every other Friday, grilled fish at the old Scotch Bonnet for lunch. Bad Comments:  Warned front desk that we were staying for 8 days. 3 free since we won on last trip and another booking of buy 4 stay for 5. On the last night our 3 free nights I called the front desk and said please don't evict us or turn our room keys off. Oh well I'm sure you know the ending. Ha ha if you can predict a disaster... Is it a disaster or a controlled accident? Anyhow we went up at 1pm, got new keys and made our own beds and called it a day. Life is good... This trip I must say the pool was unusually cold, I guess the winter in Negril has been much colder than usual.. During the day everyone found it difficult to get in. We did and jokingly blamed the cold water on shrinkage but the reality was it sucked. Over all the years we never experienced the pool this cold in March but we made the best of it. Only activity on the nude side that got any attention was Bocci Ball. The other main attention was the Ms. No Swimsuit Contest which provided hours of entertainment.

BTW…

"Take Another Hit." was told to "Take Another Time Out"... I guess KL has less tolerance than RB... Hmmm

Suzy, “I’m so not over you”

OK enough said..
