Revisit Jamaica?

I suspect that's my next trip...

Face it, you only do DR.

[mikelodge]

Face it, you only do DR.

I am feeling a multi country mongering requirement coming soon

Boldly go where many men have gone before

thats not a bad suggestion btw

[Jimmydr]

thats not a bad suggestion btw

I think most of the higher level guys no longer go to Sosua and the ones that still do, fly under the radar and alone.

Every once in awhile even a blind squirrel finds a nut.

[Apos]

"Not that there's anything wrong with that"...

Face it, you only do DR.

I only did the DR, focusing on what I knew and enjoyed. Like a specialist. Who do you go see about heart problems...a GP or a cardiac specialist/heart surgeon?

I wouldn't change that but now it's time to broaden my horizons

I have met some great low level guys so to speak only by ranking standards here that are every bit as great as many guys I have known from many walks of life. But that said I understand what you mean.

Who knows, after some of us meet you, you may even get booted from the board. I have met my share of nut jobs.

Most of the higher level guys, if not all, have been travelling and "mongering" for a long time.

While one "could" read Jimmy's comment as derogatory, and who knows how he meant it , I believe he simply meant that they have grown and or gone on to try other places. He may have meant that Sosua is a shit hole but considering the number of trips he logged here that would be hypocritical.

[Apos]

Don't worry Mike, he hasn't banned me....

....lately

The good thing about our Jimmy is that he can take some good old fashioned teasing AND he dished it out "real goood!" too

[Apos]

For the record :

1. To many people Sosua IS a "shit hole" But it's ours and we luv it!
2. We'll defend it to the death and those that don't appreciate it can piss off!

Sosua was a great place when I was there. The corrupt President fucked it up. The last President did a pretty nice job getting it back to where it was but, my "Sosua" is long gone.

The peso was at 40, TLNs were 1,500 - 2,000, a taxi from Santiago airport was $24, a RT from NY was as low as $250. I can go on and on and on.


M & M was 400 pesos for a massage or about $12.

I love shitholes, but not over priced ones. If its a shithole, you can find me there most of the time.

What have you heard? Who calls you a nutjob? You are as normal as normal can be.

It's changed and to me not for the better

[Jimmydr]

Since you only go there, you can say it changed for the worse. Since I have been to 5 other countries, I can say there are better places.


I forgot about them stupid taxes that are now about $140?

[JD426]

You guys kept that shit (sosua) a pretty good secret for a LONG time.
Some of us only knew about santo domingo and BC ( going back to '99 and 2000) .. Sosua came up in conversation in maybe 2003 ? but some of us just said, why bother driving all the way up there. Little did we know. One of my biggest regrets is missing the heyday in Sosua...and I was so close.

We were talking about it on ISG back in 2001.

Highly unlikely but that is your call it is your game.

[mikelodge]

So what are you saying? That I am a Nut Job? Are you sure? hmm
