I know I say this a lot, but I was not sure when, or if, I would make it back to Negril, at least for a long time, so my plan was to live this particular reach with gusto.
I knew I was in Jamaica for sure when we stopped along the way for beer and supplies, and the passenger in back, a Clives worker, asked me straight out to buy her something. One thing about Jamaicans, they’re not subtle. I purchased a case of Stripe, two bottles of Appleton overproof and a few other items. It cost me like 75 dollars, which seemed like a lot, but when I’m on vacation, I have a different view of money – dollars are fun tokens, to put it simply. I have the rest of the year back in Los Angeles to worry about paying the bills; in Negril, I am out to pleasure myself in every way, and it’s OK with me if it costs money to do so. I don’t mind. I plan to spend about 5k on myself, and that’s all right with me.
