Good Day everyone have a fabolus 3 day weekend. It is Presidents day on Monday here. Oh and I figured out the other holiday in JA its Ash Wed. I knew there were a couple holidays this week just didn't know the days.

I am hoping its easier this time calling the embassy today.

Hopefully they'll have your date for you :thumbs::thumbs:

My question is would any of you guys think about moving back to JA for retirement?

Javon and I wouldn't have it any other way...but finding a location is a different story. I want to live in St. James whereas he wants to live in Mandeville. We're consider building a house in Mandeville (more in the country) but not for a few yrs.

When I retire I would love to winter in Jamaica-but I don't know if I could live there year-round.

My employment worries are over. I start a new job on March 1 :dance: :dance:

Hi Everyone! It has been a long time since I've been on.

Hi to everyone that has joined since I've been on last... Congrats to all those with progress... and congrats on your new job Michele!

Things are going well on my end. Elias is growing so fast - he is so much fun. We're feeling like a real family now :luv:

I finally got off my lazy butt and posted some new pictures of Elias and some of our wedding pics from our November wedding in Negril... they are all up on the Yahoo site. Sorry it took me so long and sorry I haven't been on lately. Elias really keeps me busy and when I can get on, my computer is horribly slow.

Anyway... I miss you all. Hope everyone is doing well (L)

Elias is sooo cute!!!! Your wedding pics are beautiful!

Yea I would have to agree. I stayed at Javon's house in Oct and it was so peaceful and cool at night. I did fall in love w/the area so I told him I would think about it. My parents have a house out in Greenwood in St. James so of course it was my first choice b/c it's a nice size house and they rent out part of it to cover all expenses. I was thinking of adding a few rooms but my dad is now building on the top so I can't wait until it's done. It's going to be huge!!

Hello Yardies

I still haven't convinced my fiancee to stay in Kingston over night yet... But I started thinking.... Maybe I'll just rent the room in Kingston now, and he'll have to go because I'll have already paid fo it. Well that plan went out the window...

I looked up some hotels near the embassy last night... They are all booked up :o I can't even get a room for one night.. Does anyone here know the area well enough to suggest some other places that are close by to stay at :help:

Damien and I orginally planned on staying at the Pegasus but we didn't arrived in Kingston until night time. We didn't want to spend $100 for a few hours so we stayed across the street at the Sunset Inn for $60, I think. It was really safe, clean and closer to the Embassy (before they moved). The only problem was that the front desk staff was extremely rude...but it served its purpose.
