RE: A Week In! - kylake - 12-03-2014
Thanks Rastagirl777 for posting about the new bar at Half Moon.
We went to the beach on our very first visit to Negril and second but didn't make it back our last trip. Both Andrew and Tania seemed like very nice people from our brief encounter with them.
The snorkeling was pretty good off the beach. No reef but interesting stuff to look at. A boat with a family came in and I got a starfish and handed it to the kids and they really had fun with it and then I returned it to the sea after they were done inspecting.
The family was from CA and immigrants from Viet Nam. The grandfather came over to thank me for letting his grand kids play with the starfish. Turned out he was located ,in Viet Nam" in Pleiku a city near the base where I was stationed and he actually worked on the base but not when I was there. Unexpected stuff like that makes traveling so interesting
We will certainly have to go back to see the new bar "Calico Jacks" that Andrew and Tania have built. I do know on our first trip they had a special and we had lobster on the beach and it was most excellent. Also got to see a wedding and sent the pic to the bride and groom who lived in England.

This new bar could be a huge tourist attraction. All it takes is one post on the Tripadvisor Negril forum to get it started. It has worked before for many attractions and businesses. What say you?

"I'll post pix probably tommorow can't deal with the picture thingie right now (hic)."
FREAKING TEASE!!!!!!
RE: A Week In! - Blues Pirate - 12-04-2014
And now ladies and gents, getting back to our regularly scheduled program, does anyone have an objection about the new bar being mentioned on Tripadvisor?
RE: A Week In! - rastagirl777 - 12-04-2014
Lol, yes I know you are joking Booger - truthfully I just didn't have it together yesterday to post any pix - 3 Caesars in I'm glad I didn't "type drunk" over here
It just so happens that we are heading out there today - and it is a glorious day for it! Hub will be taking some "pro pix" which I'll post, along with my "non-pro" pix if they are worthy.
BP - hold off for just one minute. I know they will not mind publicity but I just want to get a handle from Andrew as to what he'd like to highlight. Tania usually does the Facebook postings (which I think she'll use Les' pix for). Also not sure of the "open" status of this place, again, let me get with Andrew on the details before we go "wide"
I too think it will attract lots of visitors - HMB in general is a place where you can do everything or nothing - hikes, snorkel (there is a reef, and now that they have a "fleet" of motorboats they will take you out there to snorkel) and now Calico Jacks...exciting stuff for my good friends

You are correct Booger and I deleted the post
RE: A Week In! - rastagirl777 - 12-04-2014
Game off - typical...plans change - hoping to get out there over the weekend again
RE: A Week In! - kylake - 12-04-2014
RG777, Good luck with a revisit and will be looking forward to the pics and what Andrew wants to do about going wide with the announcement. Certainly look forward to seeing the bar on our next vacation!
I did notice on the HMB facebook page they have a bamboo raft. Is that how you transport out to the new bar?

Respect, as did I.
So Rasta, please take your time posting those pics.
RE: A Week In! - Blues Pirate - 12-15-2014
Hey rastagirl777, any word on the new bar going public on Tripadvisor? And where are those photos you promised?
