Our last day in Montego Bay...
There has been so much to do here, it is hard to know where to begin!
Sailing boats and catamarans...complete with snorkeling.

Back soon...just getting this new laptop set up...

We got the MRI and CAT Scan back...and John is no longer in remission.
A tiny (five mm) metastasis to the right frontal lobe of his brain...that they think they can zap away with radiation.
The primary tumor in his lung is back and larger than before...hoping the concurrent radiation and chemo can shrink it again.
And there are now lesions in his liver which may or may not be metastasis...the PET Scan on the 15th will tell us more.
We are going to spend as much time before all this starts, together.
If it isn't one thing..it seems to be another.
We're taking it one day at a time.
More as it comes...
The Great House Plantation...as well as The Story of The White Witch.
Tour:

Palmer was said to murder three husbands and several male slaves she took later as lovers.
One such slave eventually strangled her to death.
Because of her cruelty and sadism they dubbed her The White Witch of Rose Hall.
After her death she was entombed on the property...and is still reported to be seen wandering there to this day.
Bear traps placed around the plantation to discourage runaways.
You decide.
Until next time...
And we've found the best accommodations this parish offers.
The all-inclusive Rose Hall Villas.
Tour:

The bay is packed tight with expensive hotels...and a bit of a tourist trap.
The all-inclusive is nice...where all means literally everything.
From meals and restaurants...bars...scuba trips...snorkeling...kayaks...childcare...it is all included in the price of your room.
Make no mistake...we are talking in excess of 500. USD a night, here.
Everything can be brought directly to your room.
Total relaxation...great food and drink...and spa/resort.
Who could ask for anything more????
Next time we will check out The Great Rose Hall...which comes with its own ghost story.
Until then...
...live in the country, they said...it will be peaceful, they said...
The hummers are soon to go and the geese and crows are back...I anticipate an early Fall.
But not this week.
Temperatures are suppose to top out at 97 degrees by Thursday.
Summer's last stand.
Pre-season is over and in a couple of weeks Football begins!!!!
John and I watched most of the pre-season games for our teams.
It was painful.
This week the MRI's and CAT scans are scheduled...just cancer follow-ups...and so we hold our breath.
Nice to get them out of the way before the holidays.
...we enjoyed friend chicken, mashed potatoes, fried okra...and baked apple pie last Thursday together...it was wonderful!!!!
He brought me enough good chocolate to last the rest of the year!
He is holding his weight and starting to rebuild muscle.
It was nice to just be able to hold each other.
The bears are slowly trickling back from walk-about...and they are HUGE!
She may be a less-than-stellar, Mom. Has had 5 cubs in two years and lost ALL of them...but this year she is matching the big boars in size.
She and 164 (Bucky Dent) have pretty much been fishing and eating salmon from sun-up to sun-down.
Don and I had our summer get-together this week.
Ordered a plethora of Chinese food...and will be enjoying Chinese for the near future...also baked a cherry pie for afters.
Caught up with family...children...grandchildren...politics...and football.
In a Chinese-Food Coma, now.
Back to Jamaica, tomorrow!
