Hey everyone...the Singles Week In Grenada is getting off to a great start! We have 12 people signed up so far and another 15 to 20 interested!
True Blue Bay Resort and Aquanauts Grenada would like to make this the BEST Singles Week you've attended so they want you to help choose what events, games and activities we cram into our short week on the island.
So if you've ever been on a Single's Week before then let us know what you liked the best and what you would of preferred to have to make the trip more fun.
or
If you are new to doing Single's Weeks but know what YOU consider fun then let us know.
We can make this trip more successful with your ideas, suggestions and input!
So here goes...
Activities Agenda So Far (for the precise agenda & full details see the trip thread here):
Saturday June 9th: Welcome cocktail upon arrival at the resort, check in and orientation for the week
Sunday June 10th: 2 tank am dives, optional afternoon dives, SD Singles Event/Activity TBA, Dinner at True Blue Bay Restaurant on property.
QUESTION: Do you want a non-diving event the first day? These include games/activities or hiking or waterfall tour or time for optional tours such as the Chocolate Factory, Spice Factory, Rum Factory (yes free samples at all!) Or do you prefer to get some more diving in?
Monday June 11th: 2 tank am dives, optional afternoon dives, SD Singles Event/Activity TBA, Hosted Cocktail party at Dodgy Dock, Dinner at True Blue Bay Restaurant on property.
QUESTION: Do you want a non-diving event today? Its still early in the week and many will want to DIVE DIVE DIVE! Others will want to segue into the Cocktail Party at the Dodgy Dock. Let us know what YOU want.
Tuesday June 12th: 2 tank am dives, optional afternoon dives, SD Singles Event/Activity TBA, Group Beach BBQ & night dive
QUESTION: We'll be heading to Grand Anse Beach for the Beach BBQ and night dive. You can walk the beach and see the day vendors, get your hair braided, play beach volley ball or do a beach scavenger hunt for prizes? Or you can do a 3rd dive of the day making it a 4 dive day when you do the INCLUDED night dive. Now THAT is some hard core diving!
Wednesday June 13th: 2 tank am dives, optional afternoon dives, SD Singles Event/Activity TBA, Dinner at True Blue Bay Restaurant
QUESTION: Today is hump day...you may be ready for some island fun or want to stay close to the hotel. Of course everyone is free to do what they want...BUT...we need to create some mix of staying in and going out as well as giving you time to dive or venture onto the island. What we don't want to do is have too many overlapping events as you can't possibly participate in all of them that way. So are you ready to keep diving...or try something else?
Thursday June 14th: 2 tank am dives, optional afternoon dives, SD Singles Activity & Sightseeing in Town, "Explore On Your Own" Dinner experience.
QUESTION: By now if you've been diving all week you are ready for some different fun. Or perhaps you've alternated the diving and the events...please let us know what your ideal week would include?
Friday June 15th: optional am dives, optional afternoon dives, SD Singles Event/Activity TBA, Group Departure for other side of the island for far end island sightseeing and Fish Friday
QUESTION: The agenda is pretty set for today. The plan is to let divers relax, clean gear and let it dry, or if you are adventursome...go for 2 optional am dives and then clean gear in the afternoon! We will plan to go to the other side of the island having buses leave early for those who want to explore and leave later for those who just want to eat! We'll all meet at the townsqure of one of the fishing villiages to participate in the weekly heralded "Fish Friday". You'll see villiagers from all over the island all joined together in several blocks around the square offering fish prepared in all sorts of fun and exciting ways. The college students love Fish Friday so they will be mingling as will divers from Peter Hughes' boat and other divers on the island. THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE ON FRIDAYS!
Saturday June 16th: Departure to airport.
Daily Breakfast: from 7.00 a.m. - 9.30 a.m.
Daily Lunch: from 12.30 - 1.30 p.m.
Daily Diving: Sunday June 10th through Thursday June 14th 2 tank morning dive from 9.00
a.m. - 12.30 p.m.
I hope you enjoy participating in this thread. Its a chance to tell us what you'd like the ideal Single's Week to contain.
Want daily activities? We can go hiking, optional tours, contests, games, free time to do what you want, chill time to relax, daily Happy Hours? Other ideas?
Want contests? If so what kind? (Underwater Poker always seems to be a big hit!)
Want games? Twister is always fun! Anyone up for team contests or games??
Want to dive? Let's face it...we all love diving and most of want LOTS of diving. So if you want to DIVE DIVE DIVE! then say so and we won't scheudule lots of events to conflict.
And you'll notice that we've also given you some opportunity to enjoy the excellent resort food but to also enjoy some fun diving experiences like the beach bbq and local culture like Fish Friday. Toss in a day on the island to do your own thing at the numerous great restuarants and I think we have FOOD covered!
Now with your input we'll have the activities and events covered and we'll be sitting pretty!
