Ayy Mon. That's where we went for our honeymoon (Sandals in Negril). What a great place. The snorkeling and diving there is really cool. Have you seen enough bluehead wrasses yet? Wow, there were a ton of them EVERYWHERE last time we were there.

Congrats and enjoy.
 
I was in Negril 2 months ago, and have missed that place soo much ever since! Where are you staying? Check out Tedds shroom boom if you re into that sorta thing, great "trip" Also try Kuyaba for dinner one night, if youre lucky youll get the upper deck table, all by yourself on the beach! Great food. Lets organize an NJ reefers snorkeling trip there! Whos in?
 
when me and the wife were in ocho rios jamaica 2 years ago i happened apon a puffer that was about a foot long. his eye was the size of a golf ball! pretty scary for a puffer

Go to Alfreds (I believe that is the name) for their conch chowder. Had it there 8 years ago and still want some.
 
hello all!! we are staying in and got married Saturday at Hedonism II in Negril. went to Ricks Cafe last night and jumped twice off the 30-40 ft cliff and my wedding ring fell off. a couple of the Jamaican lifeguards that work there got a metal detector today and found it at the bottom of 25ft by holding their breath!!

what can't Jamaicans do? and LOL at the shroom boom.. "shell Guy" selling the conch shells offered us all kinds of "things" but we declined. going Diving once more this week for more pictures. We did find a pokadot manta ray that i tried to catch but coming from behind him i had visions of Steve Irwin and turned away.

Thats all for now i'll post back soon. we're actually starting to miss jersey after 9 days in paradise :/

The sunset over Ricks is also a memory that I will never forget.
 
Ha that shell guy totally took me for a loop too. And what CANT they find on the beach at midnight haha. I did miss jersey a little, but I dont know what the hell I was thinking now that Im back... Reggae still makes me sad. Have you gone to the "Live reggae shows?" We saw a group named Reggae Muffin at Sunset on the Beach and it was hilarious. The trumpet player was wasted!
 
Congratulations!

Have a fun & safe trip and don't get locked up abroad or anything like that!

Looking forward to your pics!

They had a floating pool table, that's awesome. Great picts there from the dive & snorkeling. We went snorkeling off the coast of Belize on our honey moon 5 years ago(did a cruise). Nice place to snorkel since Belize was a crap hole.
