Great trip report Chuck. Glad that you and Kay had a great time. I was also glad to hear that Kay got a job right away.

Stew, be nice
I am sorry, but frankly when I read a report that is 90 % (at least) about sucking up booze & getting wasted I flash back to all the rude, ugly gringo drunks I
see making fools (& all American) out of them selves on the streets & bars of PV. There is nothing wrong with letting your hair down a bit. but to get wasted daily as Chuck seems to indicate in his \"report\" is frankly a bit distrubing!. I stand by my original post!

As much as I detest getting into any sort of mud slinging event, I feel that I must respond to Stew. A few points to consider:

1) As you were not with either Chuck or myself on our trips, you have no basis for making rude comments about our behavior. I personally never did anything that was an embarassment to myself, my companoins or my country.

2) People have been known to exagerate slightly when telling a story.

3) Mark and I are Canadians - who happen, for the moment, to be living and working in the US - as guests we did nothing to shame this country either.

4) We did many other activities besides drink, but relaxing at the resort was a part of our vacation and I feel that as such I do not really need some one else to tell me how to conduct my vacation.

5) Making sweeping statements, especially of condemnaton, can be a sign of narrow minded thinking. (In which one might think one knows more than one actually does)

Last only post on this topic for me.

I really do not care what country you are from acting the fool is universal! As to my knowledge I can promise you it is huge on this subject. Bragging about getting so wasted that you have trouble remembering events is right out of a teenage spring break experience. Thought this was a adult site!

Stew seems a real yobbo with the tall poppy syndrom. He needs to rack-off.

I also do not like to get involved in these types of discussions, but how I enjoy my vacation is
my business. If I want to drink all day at the resort and have a great time, that is what I will do.

I can not believe after that great trip report that is all Stew got out of all their hard work.
Enjoy your vacation as you see fit. I do not believe they did anything to hurt anyone in any way
or embarrass anyone. Lighten up! That is what vacation is for.

so what were we all talking about.....

Hey JJ... so you and JC are still alive... good to see you again... Lojo and I sure do miss you for sure... hope to find a moment in the sun that we can get together for the summer is over with ... keep us posted.... glad to see the kids are coming home ... hope things are going well for them too....

love hugs and kisses ....

Gracias, I feel better already.

and right now we are still on track with number nine in february... we may try to put #9 in october, and #10 in february... but who knows what life will let us do.... but we are looking forward to seeing Rose Mary, Ricardo, Aldo, Poly, Carlos Cha Cha, Francisco, Manuel, Dany, Jose Ramon, and of course Ignacio \"Nacho\"... plus all our february friends the come down the same time each year... so we will have to see how things go....

later...

Hey Dale, i have never met Chuck and Kaye personally, only from what we have exchanged here on the bulletin board, thru e-mails and from our mutual friends down at the GCP... and i can assure that Chuck is an outstanding person who enjoys life to the fullest, especially when he is on holiday... I have never heard from the staff where Sr Chuck was fallen down drunk, or obnoxious, or a jackass to the staff or the other guests. Now i have been there when guests that were there because their company \"paid\" for their vacation tried to drink the resort dry their first day out of the shoot... i have seen seasoned AI travelers think that because it is AI that they have to drink the place dry every day... yes we have paid for our food and alcohol in advance, and if you tried to \"cost\" justifiy everything you do in life, you would be a blubbering idiot... you would spend so much time trying to nickle and dime yourself to death... now is that relaxing... NOT!!!!

We too enjoy our cocktails, and yes there have been times where i have been just a little incoheirant... but the next day... we get up, and start the day all over again.... maybe not as enthusiastic as the day before but we hit her again hard... and have a great time....

Enjoy your AI holiday... where ever you may be....

I must ask what is the actual name of GPC my wife and I go every year and have been to differanct spots in Puerto and Nuevo 2 years ago it was Grand Marival and this year Grand Velas and a Parlor Suite, but you guys make this other place seem like paradise.

This will be our second visit to PV first time was really great this time hope will be even better, our first stay at The GCP, we have an ocean front room, which I think will be really nice, so I read you said all the restaurants were really good, taking your word for it, also where did your wife get the tanning oil treatment, at the Hotel? if so tell me where I ask about It. So do we tip at the end our stay or every day? thanks yourfriend, please respond on the BB we leave for there Oct. 25 for 5 nights

hick up!!
Scuse me please! LOl

It is the same Charlie as you know. He started again sometime shortly around June of this year. It was good to have him back again, he really is a good hombre.

For your pleasure, a bump to the top.
