Ok, I'll be next. My husband and I first visited Negril in 2005 for my 40th birthday and were instantly hooked. We returned every year for the next 5 years for my bday, with a New Years trip thrown in one year. We haven't returned since 2010 because we rescue dogs and our current boxer has such separation anxiety that it triggers seizures. So we now head to the mountains where we rent a lake house that allows us to bring our 2 dogs and cat with us.
Prior to our first trip, in doing research I found the other board. It was incredibly helpful in the planning of our trip and I read it faithfully everyday. It was probably a year or 2 later that the good ole rose colored glasses came off and I was more and more put off by the powers that be over there and found my way to the yellow board. I have been a daily reader ever since and at the risk of sounding like a crazy stalker woman, I feel like I "know" all of you already so it seems only right to share a little about my self.
My husband is from the Bahamas and I met him while I was vacationing there. Within 8 months we were married-crazy I know-but that was 17 years ago so I think we are going to make it haha. I was a "Dead Head" back in the day and all of my vacation time then was used on following the boys around-being fortunate enough to see well over 100 shows.
Nowadays life focuses around our rescues and trying to get fit. I've struggled with my weight my entire life and in the past 2 years have really focused on getting healthy and staying active. My husband is a great supporter in this endeavor and the attached photo is a picture of us getting ready to do our first 5k race back in Oct of 2012. 2 weeks from Saturday we will be doing our first Obstacle Course Race together which is a 5k race up and down a ski slope with 20 obstacles throughout the course (monkey bars, 10 foot walls, cargo nets etc)-wish me luck!
