MONDAY 18th FEB
Arrived in Montego Bay, my home for the next 2 weeks, as soon
I as got off the plane, stood on the steps, felt the warm air,
looked around and knew Jamaica was the place for me. Arrived at
the hotel at about 3.30pm (it's quite posh) well the poshest hotel
I've been to. Everything looks good so far!
The next few days were spent recovering from the flight, didn't
realize jet lag could be this bad!
THURSDAY 21st FEB
Totally recovered now and start to join in the games on stage,
even though our team lost I still had fun and was starting to
fit in really well.
FRIDAY 22nd FEB
Well it's the second day in a row that Mark (one of the entertainment
team) has joined me and my sister for breakfast he has kidneys
and bananas. (Don't think I'll try that!!!) Have a relaxing day
by the pool topping up my tan! Well it's karaoke night and I love
to sing! I wander around trying to get someone to sing with me,
even Mark turned me down. (He had rehersals.) I eventually found
someone, Leal, we sing Jackson 5's, I Want You Back. My sister
said I was very good, so quite pleased with myself. Go up to the
disco (Witches) and dance the night away with Mark before we have
a walk on the beach!
SATURDAY 23nd FEB
We're off to Dunn's River Falls today, was an ok journey there
and was a good chance to see how "real" Jamaicans live.
The falls were amazing and a lot bigger than I expected. Quite
tired after the journey back, it seemed to last forever.
SUNDAY 24th FEB
Go down to breakfast in my bikini and sarong as usual but soon
go and get changed as it's raining (or as they call it LIQUID
SUNSHINE) and the temp has dropped. Start joining in with Name
That Tune, if you get one correct you win a bean! We don't do
too bad with the help of Remekie giving us extra beans, somehow
we end up playing pictionary with the entertainment team.
I'll introduce them to you now, as they feature quite alot in
my holiday. They are:
REMEKIE- very funny, very good looking and charming, a good friend.
MARK- little, cute and fitness freek.
JIGGY- star of the shows, a great girl.
KEDENE- really friendly, always made an effort.
WAYNE- great laugh, fantastic personality, very hot.
TASHA-LEE- really nice, always smiling.
NICOLA- a great girl, always there for a chat.
MANI- bit of a whimp but a good guy.
SHARLENE- good to talk to.
NARDA- great fun.
All fantastic and love them all!!!
Back to report- It's girls v boys, me, Michelle (my sister), Sarah,
Jiggy, Sharlene, Tasha-lee, Nicola, Kinger and Aldonia, against
Remekie, Mani and 2 other guys, of course the girls won. I drew
the last picture but don't think it was due to my artistic skills!
First time I really spoke to Remekie, he seems really nice. (v.cute)
It's family night in the disco, spend most of the night dancing
and talking with Remekie.
MONDAY 25th FEB
Good start to the day as I play the Jamaica trivia quiz. (Wayne
is asking the questions) I get most of them right and Wayne asks
if I'm Jamaican??? I win! (obviously) A necklace and bracelet.
Do the aqua aerobic's (taught by Mark) then go to the gym as that's
where Mark is for the week, although don't do much exersize on
the machines!!! "The nightclub Margaritaville, come!"
Go to Witches as usual, a bit bored.
TUESDAY 26th FEB
Start drinking early today as Michelle and I do the rum mixology
course, which is run by Kedene. We make our own cocktails and
if people don't drink your cocktail, you have to drink it. Mine
was quite strong and yes, I had to drink most of it! Well feeling
rather jolly and it's only 2:00pm, Kedene gets us up on stage
for the Jamaican dance class, although I think some of my moves
may be a little too much for a family resort! It's the Jamaican
night beach party and after the show they try and get people on
stage. My sister was filming for Mark, so she got out of it but
I could hear Jiggy shouting me so as I'm not scared and a little
show off, I went on stage and danced with Jiggy. Went to the disco,
ended up with Remekie when Michelle went to bed, I end up going
to bed about 3:00am.
WEDNESDAY 27th FEB
Spend most of the day sitting around talking to Kinger, Aldonia
(2 sisters from Canada), Remekie, Mark, Wayne, Samantha (from
Philadelphia) and Natalie (from Cardiff). Go and play vollyball,
not very good at it but it was still fun.Go up to the disco with
Kinger, Aldonia, Natalie and Samantha, we show everyone else how
to dance!
THURSDAY 28th FEB
YYYYYEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! IT'S MY BIRTHDAY! And what a better
way to spend it, in the most fun place in the world with such
fantastic people! First when go down by the pool, Kinger and Aldonia
sing happy birthday, then 5 minutes later Nicola is singing it
on the microphone and I'm on stage being hugged by Samantha, Natalie
and everyone from the entertainment team. I know this is going
to be a great day! Do the Name That Tune with Kinger, Aldonia,
Michelle, Natalie and Remekie, Jiggy is handing out the beans
and I'm determined to win, we all sing along to the songs as we
know most of them.....................................................WE
WON! Some bottles of rum and some shoes!
In the afternoon Remekie gets me, Michelle and Kinger on stage
to do the dance competition. (When he shouts pina colada you dance
with your partner, beer you dance with another man and mudslide
your partner picks you up.) It's down to me and Kinger and I win!
Hey it's my birthday, I deserve to. Kedene comes on stage and
sings happy birthday to me on the microphone. This time I have
the whole hotel joining in. All day I have people saying happy
birthday. It's the PJ PARTY and I've heard they can be quite wild,
Jiggy (once again) shouts me to go and get a partner, then the
next thing I know Kedene has got me doing sexual positions with
Remekie. (v.embarassing) We don't win but it's ok because my mate,
Ollie won. Spent the whole night dancing. A birthday I will never
forget!
FRIDAY 1st MARCH
Recovering from last night, spent the day hanging out with Remekie,
Natalie, Nicola, Wayne, Michelle, Samantha, Ollie, Hannah, Andrew,
Steve and Jiggy. Karaoke night again, I don't sing but Remekie
does a fantastic version of "I Want To Know What Love Is".
Jiggy and I were there cheering for him. Danced all night long
and even got Wayne to dance.
SATURDAY 2nd MARCH
We were meant to go to Negril but Michelle was too ill, so I was
with new Jamaican family all morning!
That night Michelle was tired so I was with Remekie until 1:30am.
SUNDAY 3rd MARCH
Upstairs playing pool with Natalie, Remekie, Jiggy and Wayne for
a while then went to say bye to Ollie, Hannah and Steve. Can't
believe that will be me tommorow, I really don't want to go, I
feel so at home. Spend a lot of time with everyone today (did
most of time) but this is my last day. They do the musical "Grease"
and Mark, Remekie and Wayne look great in their leather jackets
with the collars turned up. When they finished, they all came
out one by one. I sat right in front of them and cheered for them
all but what was really nice was that Wayne saw me, looked in
my eyes and blew a kiss straight at me, bless him. Monday was
most of the entertainers day off, so the night was spent saying
goodbye to them, Remekie says he will come in to say bye but not
sure he will.
MONDAY 4th MARCH
My last day! I could stay forever, I'm going to miss everyone
so much. Sat on the stage with Mark and Kedene. Natalie and Samantha
were there to say bye, they didn't want me to go either. At 12:00,
Samantha told me to turn around and walking over was Remekie...............WOW,
can't believe he came in on his day off to say goodbye to us all.
At 1:00pm we sat in the waiting area with my sister and Remekie.
The bus would be here in 5 minutes, I promised myself I wouldn't
cry and I've done well so far! The bus arrives and Remekie puts
our cases on and as I gave him a hug goodbye, I knew I would never
forget him, he made my holiday special.
As I left Jamaica, I was already planning and thinking about when
I can go back. Met so many people there, it is a very friendly
laid back hotel. I will definately see more of the Island next
time and stay in Negril. It's a special place and I left a piece
of my heart there, I found my second home in Jamaica. Had wanted
to go since I was 9 years old and thought when I did it would
cure my obsession, it didn't. It only fueled it! I'll be back
someday!
