Alright....

So I've been back from Jamaica since Tuesday and have been busy. But more on that shortly... Mostly, I've been trying to find the time to edit all the pictures from the trip and give the many people I met down there time to email me the ones they took of me.

I stayed at Riu Montego Bay. Honestly, I wasn't that impressed with the report itself. The food was typical buffet style, little better than a Golden Coral (or similar). Only the seating and service was slightly redeeming there.

This is a picture of the view from my room. Now when I booked the trip, I specifically upgraded to a "ocean view" room, and paid the difference. And while I know there's a difference between "ocean view" and "ocean front", I'm still looking at a f'in tree and rooftops! You better believe I turned right around and headed back to the front desk. They we complete booked and couldn't move me, but they made up for it.

Still, I had all this in my room:

I put a decent dent in the rum and the vodka for not being in the room very often.

I spent most of my time at the pool bar.

And believe me, I made use of the all inclusive and drank everywhere!

By the pool

By the beach

In the lobby... (That's not just Coke)

I drank in bed

And even in the shower!

I went by myself again and many people that I met (northerners mostly) found it quite impressive that I just to my tradition of doing New Years every year even if it's just me.


New Years was awesome!

And these are just a couple of the many crazy Canadians I met. (Why the pic won't rotate, I do not know...)

And now for so random Jamaica pics!!!










Lol... Christmas in Jamaica.

All in all... One hell of a trip. I just wish I could've shared it with people I know. Maybe next time. I'll have a few more pics to upload once I get the waterproof camera I took the the Dunns Creek Falls developed...

Now, while I was there, I had to do my best to not be too much sun as I had an appointment for this:




The product of a little over 4 hours of work:







God, I can't wait until it's done! IT'S GONNA BE SICK! It just sucks that it's gonna take so fucking long because I'm gonna be away for nearly three months at a time. But at least the next two sessions are booked and we don't have to spend the first 1.5 hours with stenciling and drawing.

Oh...

His and Hers sleeves. By the same artist. Ain't that cute?!
