Catching Up!

jackwabbitSo, it's a snow day here today. (Sweet!) Therefore, I'm catching up on my desktop.
I'm posting things that I've meant to share forever, and trying to clean up my 'to do' list, etc.
This made me laugh and laugh and I'm not sure why...
This, however, made me a bit sad. Remember, some people sell conch shells to tourists to pay bills.
And this? Well, I thought this was so much more concise than our warnings.
I didn't take a whole lot of palm trees and beaches pictures, because frankly I didn't want to carry a camera with me when I was there. It was all I could do to stumble down to the beach every day. (I've been to Jamaica before. I've done the tourist thing. I had no desire to do that again. I really, truly just wanted to do nothing. And that is what I did. Nothing. It was fabulous.) But rest assured that despite some high seas and a bit of afternoon rain once or twice, it was indeed lovely.
And yes, Pinky went along, as always.
Now, like I said, I've been to Jamaica before. I've done the tourist thing. I've been to Margaritaville and Dunn's River Falls and even swam with dolphins (Do it if you can! It's worth the money!), so I had not much urge to do such things now. However, there was one tour I simply couldn't live without. One things I just HAD to do.
Oh, yes. I had to do dog sledding in Jamaica. Now, I know about dry land training, but those Jamaicans are just nuts, and only they could make it a full time pastime and money-maker. I was so in. My guide was one Damian Robb, who asked how I'd heard about the tour. Gee, I wonder. *grin*
Now, remember. If you ever take this tour, be careful! Some of their dogs are Pit Bulls!
(Actually, a good number of them are Pit mixes, as they are street dogs from the JSPCA - rock on!)
It was a beautiful day for a ride, and even though I've been around dog sledding a fair bit, I've never done a dryland run before in the buggy. It was way faster than I thought it would be!
Oh, yeah. We got filthy and had fun and Damian and I became buddies. He comes my way in the winter to race in sprint races, so we actually know some of the same people. It's a small world, folks!
But alas, I have having issues uploading pics and I have reached the end of my journey regardless, so I'm off for now.
That's all, folks!
