Off to the Beer Bar
We'd seen a beer bar mentioned in our "package" and decided that was our plan. Go walking, take some photos and find this bar. We not only found the Beer Bar, but as a huge bonus we just happened to find our newest friends, Sharyn and Wayne, from Manchester, England.
2 days before we were leaving for Jamaica I was browsing around the hotel FB page. I was in a post and a woman mentioned that she hadn't even left Manchester and she was already anxious about leaving Jamaica lol I replied to her that I was feeling the same way. I noticed she was going to arrive the same day as us. I initiated contact and we chatted a little and made plans to try and meet up at the hotel. I sent her a current pic and I saw her pic on her FB page and that's all we had to go on :) I recognized Sharyn and her husband Wayne as they walked past us in the lower lobby of the Lady Hamilton. It was a lovely little meet & greet lol We all hit it off like we'd been acquainted for years. They were heading to the Sports Bar and we walked with them as that's where the elevator was. We were fine walking down the enormous grand staircases, but climbing them wasn't happening. It was an opportunity to get photos of each other. We met up a few times after in passing, spent a little time together catching up on what we'd been up to and shared a laugh or two. While enjoying what might be our last visit to the Infinity pool we briefly saw them on their way to lunch. I was hoping to see them one last time before we left to get a photo of us together. A missed opportunity was rectified when a little later we just happened upon them sitting at the Beer Bar. I guess it was meant to be. The bartender was more than happy to get a couple of photos of us all together. Lucky ducks were there for 2 weeks. I like meeting new people and I'm pretty sure this newly formed friendship will last and grow.
