Thank You Very Much Casa
We are more of the "Hang out with the locals" kind of people as far as food I am not going to travel that far and then eat food I can get right here in my town. I love to eat as a hobby so I am very interested in the local Foods same with my drinking habits kind of the "when in Rome do as the Romans do" kind of thing. We still haven't put San Pedro out of our minds for retirement so we want to get to know the local folks. One thing that excited me was when I saw how much the people like beans and rice down there. As a person brought up on Cajun food red beans and rice was a constant dish that was in our home. I am excited to see if there are any similarities between the two cultures.
I guess that the biggest thing is I didn't want to go down to a Cancun kind of place. From what I have read here and other places San Pedro is everything but that. This makes me very very happy. As a former military person I do sometimes over plan some things but that isn't always bad is it? Besides if you get as much information before a trip you won't have to waste as much time on that when you get there and can relax and learn about the place and the people.
With each day the excitement is building for our first trip so I beg of all on the board please be patient with this ole Cajun boy and his silly questions. It is I guess a way I can get to know the island and tide me over until I can come down and see it with my own eyes. Sometimes I think those who live there and / or visit a lot might have forgotten the giddy feeling of going to a new place and meeting new people. As an example the one thing that I brought back from the Middle East was the exposure to a new culture. That kind of covers some of the not so fun things that happened.
Oops I am rambling again

P.S. law I apologies if I sounded sharp in my reply
P.P.S. I do miss the fun easy going attitude that this board had when I first started reading it but I guess that comes in spells. All in all the people I have met here are some of the most helpful and patient folks I have ever had the pleasure to meet
