I wasn't going to write a TR this year, but figured I had better since a few of you were writing on last years! lol 2011 has been a very trying year for me and unfortunately, I think I brought the stress with me to Temptation. I was much less social than on other trips and felt like I was more excited about not being at work then I was about being on vacation with my TTR "family". I won't ever be making that mistake again! I can only imagine how much crazier my 2 weeks could have been. The Chaos Crew is made up of some of the most amazing people humanity has to offer:liebe011: and I would like to say thank you to all of you for your kindness, laughs, and deviant behavior! I was privileged to meet some of the repeaters I had missed on previous visits and all the great new couples/singles (whom I hope become repeaters!). Getting to see all of my old crew mates was fantabulous! Once a year is not enough!!! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I want to mention a few of my favorite memories: Dinner at Perico's---Steve and Janet met us at this incredible downtown restaurant. The food was good, but the entertainment was way better. A must visit!!! THE Boobs Cruise-- There isn't enough that can be said about it! The sun was shining, the staff was incredible, lunch was good, the activities both on and off the boat were hilarious..and having Omar constantly rubbing up against me was pretty good too! lol Theme nights--Once again, Sue came through with the organizing of the nights and they were all a tremendous success. I didn't prepare properly, and missed out on many of them. Ebay is gonna make a few bucks off of me next year though! Paty O's--My favorite place! Almost all of my new friendships were made here and many of my old friendships were strengthened. Specific highlights were playing "Where's Waldo", "Yabba, Dabba, Do", watching Travis and Jesse whine on the dance floor, and of course the conversation I had with Lorenzo when I told him my eyes felt swollen and I needed a teabag! Gawd I was laughing so hard, I think I might have snorted! lol Christa's Palm--While it started out as a nice quiet place to sit ( since I was never up early enough to snag a chair), it turned into the place to find me during the day...and many people dropped by for a quick chat and an update on what they missed the night before. - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - -- - The resort itself is still pretty close to perfection for me. Room--I was right next to Paty O's ( my request). The maid was fantastic and kept my room spotless and created amazing towel art which included rose petals and other pretty little flowers. She even folded the edges of the toilet paper into little fans! Food--I think the food at the resort is great. I don't think I had one meal (either in the buffet or at the specialty restaurants) where I left feeling like I should have eaten somewhere else. I'm not hard to please, but I am incredibly picky as I dislike a lot of ingredients. There was something on every menu I could enjoy. Entertainment Staff--They are working very hard and I think it shows. Mr Danny is very personable and will only get better as he learns the ropes. Brenda and Sara do most of the on mic work. It is hard to understand a lot of what either of them are saying, but their passion is crystal clear! Jose is still excellent as the "straight man", acting as the crew's dummy for most of the games. Bartenders/ Waiters--One of the reasons I go back year after year. They greet you as an old friend every time you see them and remember your drink as if you are the only person at the resort. I have to give a special mention to Rachel. She is absolutely fabulous at Paty O's!!!! Resort itself--The grounds are still incredibly clean. There were a few complaints this year however. The pool not being heated for several days was quite a disappointment. Once it was fixed though, it was fabulous. The bathrooms in the ladies section ( close to the store) had broken locks on all of the doors. Denise suggested that I just needed to stick my finger in the latch to keep it closed. Sounded good until I banged my head off the door trying to get my drunken finger in there! lol Thanks again to all of you!!!!xoxoxoxo See you next year!!!!
Go to f#$king bed! It was great seeing you again and I freely admit that you were up later more nights than I was but you didn't drink near as much as I did either! I'm going to download a bunch of shows on my kindle for next year so I'll be sure to be up later next year. Travis and I were whining on the dance floor? I don't remember that. Did we not like the music?
not whine as in complaining, whine as in the type of dancing...ya know the move where you move your knees in and out lol and you are right, you do drink more than I do, but it's all relative, doesn't take me as much to get tipsy
Sad, I had to Youtube it to figure out what you were talking about. Didn't even know it had a name. I thought I was just walking tipsy.
Okay, I've managed to post on the right year's thread now ha ha. Doesn't take much to confuse me. Hope things will be better for you at work in the New Year. It was a pleasure meeting you.
I was confused too. Last years thread was good too. I have a pic with your finger in the door and will post that when the count down begins, which will be soon for me. Mario and I loved meeting you. You were great to party with. I look forward to next year when you promise to go all out. Cheers
Great TR... always fun reading other repeaters experiences.. the same reasons are the ones we go back year after year. And Steve's Boobs Cruise is always the highlight of our trips!
