Deadline number two hit at work and passed in flying colours – I would like to think that I’ll get to take a little breather. Life recently has been a relentless cycle of sleep and work. I get very little time for relaxation, and none at all to pursue personal interests, like my wine courses. Sunday past, I had been in the middle of cooking for a dinner party when I was unexpectedly called back in. I served main course and left – fuming, the few glasses of wine I had had did very little to numb the pain.
We’re off to Montego Bay for a long weekend. All-inclusive so I am going to pamper myself in the Ritz Carlton. Its very nice and the service is easily the best I have received here, though they do like to charge you for everything at quite ridiculous prices. The all-inclusive nomenclature can be somewhat misleading and quite arbitrary items are excluded for the list. I will be going prepared – I have purchased 5 Montecristo No1’s at an all in cost of J$2,330 or about US$35. 1 of these will cost me US$48 up there so the more I manage to smoke, the cheaper the holiday gets.
