Tink's First EVER Trip Report..

[Wahoo]

Wahoo, I've had turkey bacon and pig bacon and the stuff on my plate was not from either animal.

It's does look sort of vaguely...human. Now that you mention it. But then Ed Gein or Jeffrey Dahmer would know more about that than I do...

[Wahoo]

That reminds me of a sick joke.

Q: Why was Jeffrey Dahmer looking for a new apartment?

A: He needed more elbow room.

Don't worry Tinks, BB and I are both working on a rain dance for you that will change your weather..........we see a bunch of rain heading your way! By Friday the clouds should start to set in for a rainy weekend.

Those people in them funny little hats were all over the place.

The people in the funny hats are the ones who keep the beggars from the tourists

Enjoying your continuing trip report & pics, Tinks. Seeing that big sign at that little shopping complex listing the names of all the shops reminded me of an evil practical joke I once considered pulling. There's a small shopping complex with a similar sign that I pass each morning going to work. One of the shops is a coffee shop named Janet's Java. One morning as I passed the shopping complex, I thought to myself: Wouldn't it be a hoot to come back tonight, in the middle of the night when there's no traffic and no one around, with a step ladder and remove the "Ja" from "Java" on that big sign and add the letters "gina" to the end?

I thought better of if, however. With my luck I'd probably fall off the ladder and break my right leg, then I've have a lot of explaining to do when the cops arrived.

I ran around like a headless chicken while trying to tell myself not to panic because he was almost 30 minutes early. That did not work. I got down stairs to put the rubbish out only to discover that it was pissing it down with rain, and my £80 haircut was in jeopardy. So back upstairs it was (4 flights of bloody stairs) to retrieve the umbrella. I lost count of how many times I was up and down the stairs as I had to take my suitcases down too. My Uncle is no spring chicken and I wasn’t prepared to take the risk of him keeling over dead due to heavy loads, so I didn’t let him know I was ready until I had got everything downstairs.

In typical Jamaican fashion (Well actually he is Bajan), he had a couple of items that he wanted me to give to my Aunt – so I had to pack those before I left. THEN we headed off to Gatwick Airport

Normally there are tons of kids on the flight to Jamaica – but I noticed that there were not that many this time, so I was quite pleased. Imagine my “choc horreur” when I located my seat on the plane only to discover that there was one sitting behind me. Luckily for her she turned out to not be so bad. The kid screamed when the plane was taking off and screamed when it was landing. The mother did nothing to comfort her. I wanted to slap her.

I had chosen a seat fairly near to the exit of the plane – 3 rows from the exit to be precise. I figured that all the kids would be at the very back of the plane, and as I was close to the front, then I’d be able to get off fairly quickly. Yeah right!!

There was a lovely little old lady seated in the middle of the row of seats and I felt so guilty asking her to move – but I did it anyway. I heard some mumblings and rumblings from young men who were standing at the next row, but I took no notice. After about 10 mins one of the boys asked me how the seating worked as he thought he was by the window. I explained to him how it worked, and he said ok, and went back to “labrish wid him man dem”.

I settled into my seat and admired the view from row 27A.
