Riu Enjoyed a little morning beach time before we head back to KC. Southwest didn’t panic and cancel our flights two days in advance this leg. So the flight home should be on time, unlike our flight to get here. In case you missed that rant you can read about [...]
Start the morning with a slushy and a splash of rum. A little breakfast and then a trip to the beach! Another beautiful day in Jamaica, the weather is perfect. Spent the morning relaxing on the beach! Occasionally having a sip of Red Stripe from the room and strolling out [...]
Scotchies Slept in a little and had a very relaxing morning before meeting Shane again for a trip to Scotchies. I had read about Scotchies in a couple of the travel books and it is nearby. Shane approves that this is a good place where both locals and tourists enjoy [...]

Finally on the beach First full day and we’re spending it relaxing on the beach. Got a decent night’s sleep and heading off to breakfast around 9:00 after a really good shower. No complaints at all about the room while getting cleaned up for breakfast. Good water pressure and a [...]
Finally Flying Got up at 3:00 am after watching the KC Chiefs lose a playoff game to the Steelers the night before. At least we finally made it out of KC. Not a bad flight to Houston, thank you TSA PreCheck for the (barely) shorter line and the no hassles [...]
This was supposed to be our first full day in Jamaica. Nope, still sitting at home in the cold. Southwest cancelled more flights this morning while everyone else was pretty much on time. Luckily everything looks good for getting out of town tomorrow morning. If tomorrow’s flight is cancelled then [...]

Took a couple trips in the last couple weeks. One to Montego Bay in Jamaica and a quick business trip to Manhattan, KS. How often does that happen? Return from Jamaica a little after midnight on Sunday morning and Manhattan, KS for business meetings at 10:00 am on Monday morning. [...]
