hey toad, if you are around at the end of the month, I would love to buy you a belikin! As much as I wouldn't mind meeting some of the boarders, trying to juggle meeting folks with activities (the reason for the trip to begin with), is just impossible. I might have one night in SP, and the Sunday BBQ - and that is the extent of my social planning. Sad, huh?

No, not sad, true. I hate planning also, I am with you, one boarder activity, if it is meant to be. Like the crawl on the 6th of May. I am a lay in the lounge chair person.Walk the beach and stop here and there. That is the reason I travel solo, I hate to plan and compromise. PERIOD.

i'll bet most folks try to hang out with each other then realize they have nothing in common and that they can't let their guard down cause they think they have to be who they think they are rather than who they really are.... then go screw it and get ripped and end up having a good time anyway...
this board is the best mask ever invented

I dunno toad, seems like there are some genuine friendships that have developed on this board. They keep up those friendships - so I am thinkin' those are real.
I guess if you want to - you do. If you don't, you won't.

True, some of the friendships continue, some do not, much like home. Friendships come in short medium and long. To have a friend one must first be a friend. My mouth and attitude weeds them out quickly....oh oh oh. Just kidding, maybe.

The board is a mask for those that want it to be, others like to share there pictures and lifes and trips and real names.I for one do not care, I do not need anything to hide behind, it took me almost a year to get accepted on this board, where people would talk back to me or answer and alot still dont,cause some are in there own little clicks with agendas.
DB is also very correct alot of friendships have been formed on this board, I for one,have found a few and a few I did not,some people were just not my type, when I met them on the island.
Like Chloe said, just like home, you cannot be friends with everyone and my mouth and attitude also weeds them out.
The bottom line is we all share a common interest, that is why we are on the board, AC.However one chooses to further those relationships is on them, but one should not be condoned for getting involved as one should not be for not wanting to get involved.
I, for one am a totally different person on the island, I feel free and I am able to be the person that I like being.Whether or not I run into boarders or not. I am a very happy ACer, and if I could advise some about they trip, I will be more than happy to,if they choose to listen that is another story. At home, we are caught up in the rat race of life,so this board, is my escape when I cannot be in AC.

so why are you so fake at home? just be who you are, all of the time...if your peeps at home don't like you for that, then get some new ones...they aren't true friends anyway...
watch and see
although i realize a vacation is good for changing your attitude and everyone goes home thinking..im can be in this mode and still be productive at work and home...and im gonna try real hard to carry it over, but they start worrying about what other people will think when they wear a t shirt and thongs to the next dinner party...screw that...
one time we had a dinner party at my house and a new friend of mines' little girl asked "is this a dress up party or can we go like toad does?"...
children have it all figured out

Trust me, we all have a Toad friend at home...(smiling) Vacations are for unplugging, not stressed to put your best or worst foot forward. No phones, no times, no schedules. Maybe one appointed gathering or meeting is ok, but anymore for me, is to confining. Jackie don't let Toad get to you, he is enjoying himself way too much... Seaislegal, many thought the name was Sea Is Legal, but her name is Sea Isle Gal. Personally I have met several Boarders in San Pedro and Caulker. For the most part they are so much like they post here it is amazing. Only one was totally different than his postings, guess who?
