Joe & Helene - February, 2003

Trip report 2/15/2-22
We flew out of Atlanta and the flight to Mo' bay was most pleasant.  The plane was full but service was excellent.  We arrived in Mo' bay to sunshine and had  remembered in advance to pack shorts to change at the airport.
We had a short wait  at  Sangster and then rode the bus to Hedo.  The bus ride was great with a short stop for a Red Stripe.  We met some Jbirds on the bus who were very freindly and we kept  in contact  with them the whole week.
       The check in took  a little longer than it should, but there was champagne to drink while we waited.
       Room:   The room was fine we had a beachfront upgrade.  Service from the staff was excellent.
       Drinks:  Great what else can you say about  Delroy's?
       Food:  The beachfront grill was up to its usual standard.  There is nothing  better then Roberts hamburgers, fries and jerk chicken at happy hour, the buffett was fair the restaurants were good  the Japanese was ok, but  the service at Pastafari was excellent
       Weather:  the weather was spotty, a lot of overcast days, a fair amount of rain the last day was quite windy.  Our trip to Ricks was disappointing because the sea was too rough to land at Ricks.
       General comment:  Staff very friendly and attentive
we went during the Bubbly Bares and J-Birds weeks and felt very welcome- a great bunch of people- Dr. Spank ( Howard) was a hoot.  The Jamaican people are  among the friendliest people in the world only surpassed by the Irish.
       We did a side trip  to  local restaurant (Sweet and Spice), and then went to a reggae bar on the beach.   The cabbie from Hedo took us to the restaurant, picked us up and then took us to  the bar, got us seated and then picked us up again
all for only $30.  The reggae bar was on the beach, tables on the sand and was wonderful -reggae music on the sand under the moonlight
It dont get much better than that
looking forward to going back next year
Respect
