AmbergrisCaye.com Home Forums The Cayes Ambergris Caye How many times have you been back to AC?

So why aren't you running things?

Hey BY! Sure was nice to meet the face behind the name... Your avitar photo is a dead ringer!

BTW, Jim is in Sask. hunting snows. Sounds like he's doing well because he and the dogs are exhausted!

See Jesse, I knew you would come up with a comment like that. Go back and read my edit that I was doing while you responded from your seat high up on the pyrimid of ingnorance. :p

Do you ever have anything constructive to offer?

Getting back the the poster's question, I will be making my sixth trip in 4 years this coming week.

On one of my visits to AC, back in 2003, we lost power quite a bit and although it was inconvenient, we quickly learned which establishments had generators (BCs, Woody's) so we always knew where we still could get cold beer!

o jackie - when in August will you be in SP and will you be at BB? Irm and I will be at Mata Rocks from 8/4 - 8/18. Maybe will see you at the Squirrel's Nest?! mobunny

Teenah, glad Jim is having a good time. I would enjoy meeting him sometime. I must confess that my picture is an old one. Actually, it is my high school graduation picture. I think the only person that took longer than me to graduate from high school was Jesse. Whoops, I am possibly jumping to a false conclusion based on what Jesse writes in assuming that Jesse graduated. I guess I should replace it with a more recent picture of me. I would hope that I have aged well and will keep aging.

Hi By:...just never seen three dangling participals in one sentence. Yo totally a wordsmitty obviously. Bill PS. I'm here in St Louis...and out of the loop when in San Pedro.

Hey KLCMan - I DID qualify that question :p - it was "CARRIBBEAN ISLANDS"........!!!! But very nice to hear that it felt like home from home, given where home is!

But if we're listing all islands, how about Appledore, Smuttynose, Star Island, Boon Island, Isleboro, Harbour Island, Eleuthera, Ireland, Great Britain, Isle of Wight, Paradise Island, Barbados, St. Kitts, Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Maarten/Martin, St. Barts, Aran Islands.... okay, memory exhausted!

I know there's been a lot of discussion about dirt and litter since I was last on here, but don't you see that in most of the islands in the Caribbean? I can look along the highways right here in Maine and see loads of rubbish, and seeing as how we actually do have a place to put it, it shouldn't be there in the first place. The islands are a different time and place and I think if maybe AC is the first island visit for some, they maybe appalled at various things that they weren't expecting, but if you've been to a few of the islands, then you at least have some idea of what to expect.

I think it's just best to go with an open mind and go with the flow once you get there. We went on holiday to Bermuda one year and, as clean as that island is, we had a lousy holiday! It was too uptight, nothing was going on, NOTHING, in early December and it wasn't that warm either. Of course it was -10 in Boston so 50 degrees in Bermuda should have felt balmy, but I stayed in the same clothes I wore in -10 degrees when we were in 50 degrees! I think a lot of it's to do with what your expectations are.

As long as I have a place to cool off, a cold drink in my hand and a bit of peace and quiet I'm happy!

don't forget Manhattan !
