Yeah Man! No Problem!

Well, we decided to return from our Jamiacan vacation! I was really missing the boys, and I think one more day for my parents, and they would have left the boys by themselves!!! Jamaica was amazing, beautiful, relaxing, hot, hot and even hotter!!!  And, we really lucked out because it only rained on the last evening!  While we pretty much stayed around the hotel (all inclusive, so why leave), we did venture out a few times to do some shopping and for a couple of excursions!  And, of course, the ocean was beautiful.  The water was so clear and so many shades of blue!  Lyndon even got me out on a catamaran (ok, so I am terrified of the ocean...it is the only thing I really have nightmares about, I blame my brother)! Here are a some pics of the trip!

The view from our room!

Our suit!

A bit of a blurry one of us! This night at dinner took about 2 hours and the next night almost 4 hours!  No one is in a hurry including the waitstaff! However, they are some of the kindest and happiest people we have been around!

This is the crazy bird that tried to join us for breakfast the first morning!  He sat on the back of one of the chairs at our table and attempted several times to walk onto the table to eat off our plates.  He did succeed in eating the leftovers of the table next to us!  They just could not get rid of him!  He was great entertainment!

A better pic of us!  We took a day-long excursion around the island to one of the rivers and to some beautiful falls.  The bus ride there and back was very nauseating because it was on the smallest two-lane road I have ever seen which curved around the hills to get us to the falls!  I was very "green" on the way there and back!

One of the many crocs we saw on the river!  He loved the boats because they fed him raw chicken!!! That boat captain was crazy enough to grab his foot and hand feed him!

View from the river boat!

The trees along the river were fascinating!  The all grew branches that would come from the top of the trees and grow downward into the water.  These branches were like straws that helped the tree get more water!

This is Darlene!  She was our very funny tour guide on the bus ride to the falls!  She was really into picking on Lyndon and a few of the other guys on the bus, so naturally, we bonded!

YS Falls!  Beautiful and some of the coldest water I have been in!

Lyndon volunteering for the rope swing! 

There were large signs all over the area of the falls with the usual rules!  However, rather than no tobacco, they had no ganja!  While it is legal to sell it in Jamaica, it is illegal to buy it or smoke it in public, go figure!

Some of the beautiful and unusual flowers!

A little shopping with the girls!  This is the only place I have been, including Mexio, that actually offered alcohol including beer, mixed drinks and shots of whatever while in their stores!  Needless to say, the guys acutally had fun shopping for once!

The patio of Margaritaville!

Rose Hall! This beautiful house was once the main house of a huge sugar cane plantation.  It was restored sometime ago and is now a tourist attraction.  The story goes that the last inhabitant of the house murdered all three of her husbands and countless lovers just because.  Of course, as we toured the place at night, we were amazed at how hot it was even at 8pm.  Lyndon and the others who were with us all agreed that Annie, the murderess, was probably misearbly hot and just had to take out her agression somehow!  Remember, all of these people we traveled with are AC contractors!  Air conditioning will make anyone happy!

This was Annie's bedroom, the place where she was finally murdered by one of her lovers...a bit creepy!

The last night of the trip!  I was trying to show them my skill on the dance floor with my version of the Water Sprinkler! 

Lyndon trying to show off his skill!  This was after a cigar we are pretty sure was laced with ganja...the sad thing is that there was no improvement!
