Congrats you are getting closer...........

I do not wish to share any information about this dead end journey.........I have reached my final destination on this train, and it is time for me to get off.

THIS TOO SHALL PASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"If marriage means you fell in love, does divorce mean you climbed out?"

"You never really know a man until you have divorced him."-Zsa Zsa Gabor

"When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house. And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife." Deuteronomy 24:1-2

"When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on." - Franklin D. Roosevelt

"When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us." - Helen Keller

"Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life. What is it you would let go of today?" - Mary Manin Morrissey

"I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much." - Mother Theresa

:lol: You ain't lyin'. Let's scratch that off the list. These hotels aren't the greatest especially for your honeymoon.

Ms. S - if you rent a car - maybe you should stay right outside of MoBay.

I was going to make the same recommendation...since its honeymoon time. No one mentioned Coyaba - I really like it. I like El Greco too. Coyaba has a really nice reputation. http://www.coyabajamaica.com/

Also, don't shoot me....but consider Half Moon. I know its a bit pricey and stush, but it is so romantic. It was the 1st place I stayed in JA, because mumsy and dadsy were so paranoid that I would get killed. So I had to stay some place well known, well lit and well guarded. :lol: Anyway, I got a GREAT deal with American Airlines RT air and 4 nights for $900. I stayed in Oleander (a bit less posh and have tendency to be musty until AC kicks in - that wing of cottage rooms is not as in demand by the well to do, but they are just fine for the rest of us :P ....they are still great quality rooms and because Camilla Parker Bowles doesnt want them, American Airlines buys them. Room has kitchenette); its right on the water. I stepped out of my room and took 10 steps and was in the water. Gorgeous sunsets. It was really beautiful!! I will post my pics on Yahoo later next week - I have to scan them....camera and disk were stolen. http://www.halfmoon.com/

Check American Airlines website for deals. Oh you get frequent flyer miles for the trip.

PS If you want to rent a private house (1 floor of house - 2 beds 2 baths living dining kitchen and huge 2nd story patio overlooking water) near Sandals Mobay, let me know. My cousins and I rented it for Xmas 2005 and we had a good time. It might be cheaper than hotel during Sumfest...dunno.

If you go to Richmond Hill say hi to Ms. Chin (the owner - she is hilarious - German, married a chinese man and lives in JA - her accent is a combo of ALL THREE!!!)
