Jamaica Part III

 We made reservations for the 5 course meal.

 It was a very nice, elegant restaurant and the food was delicious!

 On the second night we were there, I awoke at 2:00 a.m. to the most horrible scratching sound.  Uh, yeah!  This guy was trying to get in our sliding glass window. This has to be the biggest crab I have ever seen in my entire life. Scary!


 We really did just relax. So many times on vacation, we try to do and see everything.  We stayed on the property the entire time except for our catamaran cruise.  There was plenty to do on site.
 We went out on the paddle boat.




 Believe it or not, I actually wanted to try the paddle boards!








We booked a dinner on the beach for our Anniversary Dinner. It came complete with our own butler. The views were amazing but the mosquitos nearly carried us away!  It was a perfect evening except for rushing through it to get away from the bites!

Darin gave me a beautiful anniversary ring! I love it!
Twenty years later... I Still Do!

Candlelit pathway leading to our table on the beach.
I love that our resort left the intertwining hearts on our bed for our anniversary. So thoughtful.




We really enjoyed the swinging porch. The views were spectacular!




This was Darin's rappin' buddy on the Catamaran cruise.

Jamaica Part II

 My gift to Darin: the book
I think he liked it.

 Dinner on our first night there. Band and all. Nice touch.

 The outdoor courtyard that leads up to the foyer.
The pool and beach is behind me.





 Love this! One of my favorite pictures from the trip!
 We stopped for a little game of ping pong.
 Beautiful blue water with no fishes!
 We took a Catamaran cruise on our last night there. So fun!


 We saw this "castle" on the cruise.

 The caves!  I was too chicken to get off the boat so I just took pix of Darin. 



 The locals(children) jump off the cliffs and swim over to get money.
 This was a sight to behold!

 You just never know...

 Howard the bartender.  Evidently, Negril is known for it's Rum factory/plant?
Howard's specialty was Rum Punch.
If you aren't drinking it, well....it's not as funny!






 The drive into Couples Negril
 Portico that leads into the foyer.
 Security house at the entrance.
 My love!
 Amazing palm trees of many varieties.
