I'm loving your report, but it makes me miss Portland! I'm stuck up here in the snow so it's nice to see the places we visited when we were there!

it's 24 degrees in ny right now.
are you planning a trip back to ja any time soon?
yesterday (day 7) husband found a taxi driver to take us to the atm, the patty shop and the supermarket.
here is a view from the atm line:
i bought a bunch of patties, including one beef patty for the driver and 3 chicken patties for ti boss, who probably coulda eaten 7, if i'd indulged him.
then we went to ramtula's where i bought 2 sixes of red stripe, 2 sixes of guinness, a 2 liter bottle of fruit punch soda, 2 liters of spring water and a bottle of rum cream (my fave). husband (in a grouchy mood because i am annoying) sat in the car, but the driver came in to see if ti boss and i needed help carrying anything out. very nice.
he dropped us back to the hotel in a little under an hour.
husband (still grouchy) told us he wasn't going to the beach with us, so ti boss and i said whatevzzzzzzz and went to boston beach by ourselves, stopping on the way to pick up a bottle of soursop juice.
i’ve been extremely low-key this trip, keeping my drinking down to a bare minimum. i don’t smoke weed anymore, because i don’t feel i’d be able to function properly enough to give my kid the focus he needs/deserves. husband, on the other hand, binges on weed and booze when he’s here. honestly, i feel one of us needs to remain relatively sober...
(oh, i meant to add that when i’m in negril i will buy a single slice of space cake and eat it before i go to sleep each night, but i’m not on the hunt for it in porty.)
yesterday i decided to switch it up a little, and brought the bottle of rum cream to the beach. after i drank about half of it i decided a glass of soursop juice with some overproof rum would taste just dandy. swiveling my head, i spotted this hut:
there were a ton of people hanging out inside and it was obvious the drinks were flowing. it was 50/50 if they were vendors just getting crunk or a private party.
I don't think I'll be able to go until next year. We went in December and it kind of messed up our normal routine. And I left everything to the last minute, so no room at the inn for us. Although with the never ending rounds of snow we've been getting I'm kicking myself and keep threatening to just go to the airport and jump the next available flight. Why do I live in this state? *sigh*
But I'm enjoying this through your trip report, so keep it up!
we're heading back to snow today
we tend to average 2 trips a year. one is usually to visit family in haiti.
when i was single and childless (a state that lasted through my early 40s) i would travel whenever i was able, but now that i have a kid i find it's easiest to travel in february (my birthday + spring break for kids) and then some time between july and september. sometimes it works out to be easter break and thanksgiving.
i want to get my guys to new orleans or california and do a trip to a few places in europe. those are on my short list.
holla when you are ready to plan your new orleans trip, that is where I am originally from.we're heading back to snow today

i think my husband's gonna LOVE new orleans, because it will remind him of parts of haiti.
Great report. I feel like I'm there with you. I can't wait for that coffee. dude! Thanks. and Happy Birthday!!!!
