Yes, Yes it’s time for another trip to sunny Negril, though this one kinda snuck up on me. Saturday June 7th I’ll leave the house in Brooklyn about 5AM, and I’ll be on the J.U.T.A. bus to Negril by noon.
On past trips I’d be packed by now, my over-stuffed rolling duffel bag sitting expectantly by the door, but this time around the bag is yet to be zipped. I did some stuff, but I still need to hit Target for some necessities. I’m having a tough time finding heavy-duty bug repellant in New York City.
I’ve also gotten into the habit of posting my packing list a few weeks out, but I think the idea has gotten stale. I don’t think I added anything since the last trip, and some stuff was never unpacked.
So this trip will be completely unscheduled. I rarely follow my damned schedule anyway, but for some reason I feel the need to pencil something in.
I will be posting, my room at the Blue Cave Castle is very close to the WIFI, so there shouldn’t be a problem.
See you in Negril!

I’m Jamaican and I tell everyone “Negril is the best place in the world if you go to Jamaica go there… it’s so seductive it claims you, when you’re there you never want to leave, and once you’ve left you’re always yearning to go back”. As many times as I’ve tried to explain, I always struggle to put into words exactly what that spirit of Negril is, and the way that it stakes its claim on you.
I’m on Ohio now and google led me to your leaping slug blog via a “jamaican scotch bonnet pepper” search… this was yesterday.. since then I’ve read your entire blog - I kid you not- and now that I’m done I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed it… (it was like a mini visit home for me) and how pleased I was to see how much you enjoy Negril and Jamaica. Thanks for the quick dip, you’re writing is a beautiful complement to the atmosphere you were describing.
