Where’d you buy your Everest?

Same here with the exception that we do like to take and excursion or two to snorkel or other things. I use my Tudor for Caribbean travel - garners a little less attention. If you stay on the resort you should be totally fine.

BTW that is one of the few times I have seen a Rolex that I thought looked good on a rubber strap. Nice!

You thought the oyster bracelet couldn't handle it?

Have you been to Couples SweptAway in Negril? We have stayed there a couple times and absolutely love it.

Yes, went there a few years ago, did enjoy it. The shuttle from the airport to the hotel is about 1 hr and 30 min, a long ride.

Agreed but you can drink the whole time and they stop half way. Not sure if you knew this but you can take a short plane ride instead for a couple hundred bucks.

Unfortunately you're too far from Rick's Café for some cliff jumping : )
