Jammin' in Jamaica


Yeah mon, the theme of a week long wedding in Negril,Jamaica rang out from both locals & party goers alike.

Just 2 weeks into a new job, I find myself boarding a Virgin plane & heading for foreign shores again. Seth & I join Toby & family to celebrate his marriage to Carol. We arrived hoping the week ahead would be decidedly better than the flight out had been.

A beach front affair, the wedding required us to be fully suited & booted, and as an usher, had me dressed in morning suit. Despite repeated requests for cool linen outfits the groom stuck to his guns & was lucky to have a cool west indies breeze refresh us from the mid day sun.

Post mandatory photos we clambered aboard a closely moored yacht & sailed along the coast (still suited & booted). Beer, cocktails & sunshine wash down with plenty of atmosphere & reggae soon saw the swimmers out. An on board slide was put to great use & the majority of us cooled off it the sea.

Seth & I chose to stay away from the rest of the wedding party allowing us to go off & explore. We ventures off in a tourist motor, sampled an array of restaurants & attempted an ill fated off road expedition through the countryside.

The week swang by in a blur & despite returning home on an equally terrible Virgin flight as our trip out we had ourselves a fantastic time.
