    Re: 03/2018 - December 2018 Boca Chica Invasion

    With Xmas eve on a Monday this year, it looks like I'll have 12 days off with pay and not touch a minute of my leave for Winter Break. I like that. I hope I can get El Capitan again. I promise to stay away from street food. I'll probably take 3 meals a day at VOTB.

    This trip is exactly how the year should end. I'm thinking a midnight cruise on NYE with a few of us and a few young lovelies who aren't afraid of living well. A little sailing trip to the Capital and back maybe.

    Don't forget Mr. H. He's single again and can stay out as long as he wants to.

    Shit. That was my favorite breakfast spot! Let’s hope someone steps in and keeps that great bread, butter and jam going as a nice complementary side dish.

    Re: 03/2018 - December 2018 Boca Chica Invasion

    Ok, I found it. There was already a Boca Invasion thread for December 2018 posted, thought so.

    Anyway, even though it's only August, I'm doing this for the benefit of anyone who plans to go, thinking of going or maybe still too early to make up their mind about going.

    I'm in. I'm bringing one of my old wings with me, a guy who hasn't been to the DR since 2008, my 2nd trip, and who has traveled twice with me to Ireland, three times to Pattaya and convinced me to come visit Belize as he loved it there. Good dude, looking to retire about the same time as me and travel, drink beer, and enjoy the company of the local ladies, whatever the country.

    I have booked 2 queen rooms at the Garant, for 4 nights, Dec 16-20. I went through their website, $220 per room, $55 a night. With a VAT included, total came to $260 per room. I checked booking.com and found that surprisingly there are already a lot of reservations made for December. Saw that for some mid range priced accommodations, there were only a few rooms available for the dates I wanted. Garant wasn't one of them, but I would suggest that anyone wanting to stay there book as early as convenient for them.

    As far as the flights.....whew! What can I do? The west coast sucks for Caribbean options. And the time of year wasn't helping out. I booked a round trip involving two airlines, JetBlue going into SDQ and Delta on the return from STI. I chose Delta only because for flying in late December, I would much rather take my chances on making a connecting flight in Atlanta than in NYC. With the weather that time of year, you just never know. But for additional cash, I'll take my chances at an airport nearly 900 miles south of NYC to stay out of any potential weather situation. And the Santiago departure isn't until 1435 so we can split a taxi from Sosua on the new highway after a nice breakfast at the Britannia with Irie, and be there in plenty of time for checking in. No rush at all.

    I decided to go economy plus the whole way, which added over $200 dollars to the price of the airfare. I don't give a shit. Being in my 50's, I want to enjoy a bit of creature comforts as soon as I fucking board the plane. I have often lamented not doing that in the past when boarding a flight and seeing all the early boarding people sitting all comfy in their extra leg room seats, reading the paper or a magazine while the rest of us all shuffled on down the aisle toward the rear and had to stop as some dildo is struggling to stuff his too big roller bag into the overhead bin to avoid any baggage fees.

    It's December, I want to make things as easy as I can. No use scrimping here and there to save a few bucks when it comes to avoiding the crush of people in cattle class. Besides, I have no intention of being the richest guy in the graveyard. Open up that wallet son and put that plastic to work!!

    So gents, by the evening of Sunday, Dec 16th, we have NFL football blasting out from the bars, we have cold Presidentes, we have Duarte being closed to autos, we have beautiful weather, we have Yayow holding court as only he can, we have chicas looking for a yuletide good time, we have a table of bros, we have a table of ho's, we have a beach, we have a pool, we have some great ISOC members getting together and perhaps I, after a decade, finally get to shake hands with the lead dog of this sleigh ride of a site, JimmyDR.

    I'm looking up the options this evening. It would be nice to party hearty with "the usual suspects" on my Official Medicare Birthday.

    Think I'm gonna miss this one, I plan on being there the week before. Though with Rafa and Yayow sure we can have some fun. I have that sweet Airbnb for the 10 through the 15th will probably spend first couple nights before at the garant and hit Batay Might monger to start and spend some time playing house with the girl I met last time. A nice relaxing time with her is just my speed but we will see.

    Giving this a thread-bump....

    Looks as though we have two invasions? El Toro and Minkyboodle, the second week of December, then Mr. Smooth and Jimmy the third week?

    I'm looking at airfares for that third week. Probably at a premium, but I like celebrating my birthday downrange ... and I didn't spend all that much in Brazil, during the past three weeks. Why not enjoy myself?

    Got in touch with Tropical Sea Divers, next door to The Boathouse, so I've lined up my days' entertainment. Hope the nights go well, too....
