Sorry for the delay.




























We've had quite a few adventures and it's only our second day. Were late leaving Winnipeg (no surprise) and missed our connection in Toronto. So they really tried to keep us in Toronto for the night but I just couldn't fathom that they couldn't get us down here when we had the whole day to work with. Finally they were able to reroute us through Miami. So instead of arriving at 12:30 we got here at 9 pm. Allan did a masterful job of driving through the dark to deliver us safely to Negril.

We stayed our first night at Xtabi. Long story short - it just wasn't a good fit for us. Tony enjoyed his sleep under the stars though on the balcony.

Today we got up and did a bit of a search and found Samsara and decided to stay there. It took a little bit of fancy talking but we got out of our reservation. We're really happy at Samsara and have met some nice people from Chicago.

Allan, Tony and I went out for a really nice dinner tonight and how we're at Mi Yard, a very authentic, rustic bar that just happens to have good wireless access. We were here last night and had a great time with Edward - formerly of PEI, now a permanent resident. Mi Yard's claim to fame (or one of them) is that it is a 24 hour bar/restaurant. It has been open in an unbroken string for 14 years.
We're really glad we have a car. We've covered a lot of territory already.

We actually feel like the real holiday will start tomorrow. Weather is perfect. Not eating TOOOO much - trying to keep my diet going . Beer is a problem admitedly. The photo of the pool is from our room. The photo of Tony reading is from the warm tub looking at our room.
Sorry about all that snow.
Miss y'all.
