They also owned another restaurant across the street from the jerk shack that did seafood (great redfish) and one on the beach that cooked a pretty good breakfast. Does anyone know if it the other restaurants are still there? I haven't been back in a little while. A lady called Miss Marge was running it the last time we were down. I would love to be able to get back in contact with her. She rented out her cottage next to Ozzies to us last time and it was a great place to be. I have since lost her number. But am planning a trip back in '08. I would love to stay there again. I must agree, Ozzie’s is the place to get jerk anything in Negril.

Some things I noted: Socks - I LOVE having lots of pairs of socks in Negril. Nothing like coming in from the sand, taking a shower and putting on some runners socks to hang around the room in. No picking up little pieces of sand that way! Sunglass cleaner - my glasses get so mucked up from the salt water, that I love having the spray to facilitate the cleaning. Qtips - I can't live w/o these. After a shower, wipes all the salt that might be still hanging out in the ears. Excedrin - Try taking before you go to bed. Stops the hangover from even showing up!

But I am at 44 days out and have the urge to pack too...crazy.. It's still warm right now so the bikini's and shorts can't be packed yet....I have started organizing my travel items and getting gifts together so I guess that counts as packing. I have found that the more I times I go back to JA the less I pack for myself clothes wise, this way I have room to carry gifts Then room to fill up on JA supplies ie. rums,spices and coffee! Another thing I started doing was buying full size toiletries instead of the small travel size and giving them to my JA friend when we leave..he appreciates it and it also creates more room! Let's do a NYC area boardie meeting that would be cool. I am 35 min. outside of Manhattan. Sorry Vinny I am a J-E-T-S fan I don't know if we can hang. Just kidding....
