A Safe Haven for Sinners

“I’d rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints.”
― Billy Joel

 

Whenever we need to run away, Negril is our go to place.  Always in the ‘off’ season for tourists, never at one of the many all inclusive gated resorts that make it famous/infamous. No, we stay far up on the Cliffs, where Negril goes quiet. We  do just  about nothing while we are there, stay for extended periods, and embrace Negril as she  embraces us.  Negril is a state of mind as much as a place. People have harsh and soft opinions about Negril, the harsh ones usually come from people who have heard,  but never actually visited there. For many years Negril has welcomed us with excellent food, gracious people, charming lodging,  dancing music, and clean water to snorkel in.

  10. Indeed, I still do best with paper on printed word, so have quite a fat notebook of ‘how to’ for the website.
    It’s a kind of magic how this all works. A magic who’s spells I am committed to learning one at a time.

  14. Have good memories of St Lucia, would like to go to Barbados. The Caribbean is very often an acquired taste, and if you lined up a thousand people who had been to the same area, each would tell of a very different experience. It is as though those beautiful clear waters, the people, and the sunshine are actually mirrors reflecting back on us who we are.

    Thank you so much for the follow.
