Dinner at "The Manor"
during our first night.
|
Paul and Christine try
out the funky chairs after dinner.
|
This is Hali and Omar
at the rock wall. The rock wall had a range of climbs from about 5.4
up to 5.10-.
|
Hali cruising up the
5.8+ route. The more advanced wall was bolted for leading, but leading
was not allowed. BYO rope and draws to sneak in some fun night leads.
|
Relaxing with some frosty
drinks after a day on the beach. This is the deck outside the Manor
Bar.
|
Dennis, Karen, Paul, and
Christine inside the main lobby.

Group photo!

This is the group during
dinner at the beach restaurant (Italian food).
|
Hali near a pretty palm. The grounds were very nice -- day or night!
|
The pier was a great place for an afternoon walk. There was always
a nice breeze.
|
The group on the pier. Just another gorgeous day in Jamaica!
|
Christine and Paul posing in between breaking waves (note the
wet boards).
|
Karen and Dennis were the big golf and tennis players on this trip.
Here they are on the pier, taking a break from all of that activity!
|
Paul (AKA "John Wayne") atop his trusty steed "Heart of a lion".
The ride through the mountains was beautiful.
|
Mike's horse spots another tempting shrub.
|
The group takes a break for some home made lime-ade while enjoying
fabulous views of the coastline. More Bammy, anyone?
|
Hali and Mike pose with Naran -- one of the guides from the "Hooves"
stable. This was our best horseback ride in the Caribbean.
|
Christine, Paul, and Hali taking it easy between volleyball games.
|

both weeks!

when others wouldn't.

own small pool!
