Welcome Dinner

Guests trickled in throughout the week and except for a few unfortunate delays most people arrived in Negril by Thursday night, which is when we had a welcome dinner at Cosmo's on the beach.
There are no TVs at Tensing Pen, so we were surprised to find out that Michael Jackson had passed away. I saw the news on the TV at the bar and went back to report it. Laura, my maid of honor, didn't believe me for a full five minutes, "But I love Michael Jackson." The rest of the trip we heard MJ blaring from speakers in towns all over Jamaica.
It was a great dinner. We had the choice of curried chicken, whole fried fish or grilled shrimp, all were delicious. Chris, Brad's dad, gave a nice speech and the guests began the process of getting to know one another. By the end of the week we were a pretty tight group.
Once again, AJ did a fantastic job with the photos.
