“Just one more time”
By Bob Perks
.
“Damp, musty and well-worn.” It certainly wouldn’t catch your attention in a travel brochure.
.
“No indoor plumbing. Hand pump for water located in back of the building.”
.
No, that wouldn’t make me want to stay there either.
.
“Out house conveniently located in front of or directly behind your rental.”
.
What? No way!
.
So why do I long to return to those places of my youth?

Enter the elegantly rustic, jewel-like lobby and immediately come face to face with a beach so magnificent it takes your breath away. A half mile of pearl-white sand arching in a perfect crescent, kissed by translucent turquoise water-the spectacular sight of the undulating aquamarine sea greets you from every corner of Sandals Negril in Jamaica. The lushness of the gardens, the staff’s easygoing warmth and the ever-present, soothing sound of surf - you’ll find time slipping away as you become one with the carefree Negril state of mind.

Of all my tools to combat stress-especially the stress of dealing with my illness or someone else’s–humor is by far the most fun.
