Jamaica, CJ, and attack crabs...

We had a wonderful trip to Jamaica mahn. Sun and fun, and fun in the sun. We really took some quality time to lay around, read, do crossword puzzles, and really enjoy relaxing together. If you get the chance to go to Sandals in Jamaica, I would highly recommend it. Check your suitcases tho because I may try and hide in one so i can go again.
A few highlights,
(besides spending very memorable time with my wonderful wifey)
-All of the people that worked there knew me by my first name after the first day at the pool. It was hilarious because the next day everyone was saying 'ya mahn, Cory' Lauren looked at me with rolled eyes.
-CJ, one of the paddling 'salesman' was there every morning to say ya mahn. (ya mahn, is hello basically down there) I call him a paddling salesman because he was on a surfboard with some junk jewelry etc. But as I found out one day he basically sold weed. I approached him one day and he pulled out a big fat sack of weed. I said, well thanks but no thanks, I actually want to buy some junk jewelry. He was probably surprised.
-I had animal issues this trip. There were cats all over the place, peacocks, and the crabs. Apparently, I smell like crab food. We went out to eat at the Thai restaurant, I felt something touch my shoe, then scratch my leg really slowly, I looked down and I saw a softball sized crab. I jumped out of my chair and I'm sure I had a high pitched shreek. The crab was like, 'I'm a crab...ok!" then that same night I almost got attacked by a rottweiler on the island. yea, it gets better. We went into the ocean the next day, as we walked into the water, I got my toe pinched by a crab. Scared the crap out of me!!



All I have to say is...I can't wait to go back!!! If you ever get a chance to go...do it!!!
