Our first trip was Feb this year, we were pissing bricks right up until we stepped out of the cab, from that moment on we realised that this was the place for us,coming back in feb 2016 and then again late may, can wait to meet new friends and continue the adventure.
That's the way to do it! We did 3 trips in that first 19 months as well. Better each time, and we felt like we could even enjoy ourselves more(if that is even possible), because you then know the lay of the land and how things operate. I am sure some people could navigate the place with their eyes close, or at least their vision impaired We weren't so much worried before the first trip, but just hoped the place wasn't just a trashy dump. Glad I knew enough to not believe all the idiots on Trip Adviser. And also glad Elyse and I could give a shit less that a couple of my buddies wives stuck their noses up. If your there in late May, or crew will be there 21st-29th!
Went for the 1st time in July of 2015, was incredibly nervous, worried about expactations. Learned quickly.... "No one knows you and no one cares" Just relax and have a good time. We had a blast.
