heidi

it doesnt matter who they are, they would be fighting over to take care of you, even if they know they made you mad they would be taken out swiftly.

Awww...you are too sweet.
Do you think you can say "you look very beatiful today!" with some kind of accent?
teehee...


how about this for a try

Dutch
u kijkt vandaag zeer mooi

French
vous regardez très beau aujourd'hui

German
Sie schauen heute sehr schön

Italian
osservate oggi molto bello

Spainsh
usted parece muy hermoso hoy


I will finish up with this

la mia signora sono al vostro servizio, di che cosa avete bisogno mai appena lo lasciate sapere. Come circa cominciamo il giorno con un massaggio di pietra caldo del tessuto profondo?

y buenas noches a las señoras de la cabaña

Well whatever you feel comfortable with but I'm telling you.... OK, how about this - send me an email with a picture of the scar and let me decide. :thankyou:

from years of experience I can tell you what I have learned on how to be a Great Cabana Boy : :thankyou:

The ability to wait patiently for hours prior to the first dive of the day while she gets ready to go and then while she is in a panic because she is going to miss the dive you pick up all her gear, her bags, her change of clothes, her camera, her toiletries, her snacks and her bottle of water and then looking like a camel trudge all of this stuff down to the dive boat while she exclaims in breathless wonder how "we almost missed the boat"

The ability to wait patiently for hours while she is "getting ready" for dinner. Taking a shower, putting on makeup, picking out the right clothes, all of this in dive local that is 90 degrees with 100% humidity and everyone else in the restruant is wearing a t-shirt and shorts.

The ability to pick the right food at meal time because no matter what she orders or you order, what she orders is not as good as what you ordered...


Having the forsight to make sure that in the rare occasion she packs her own dive bag that you know what she forgot to pack. God forbid you look in the bag because then you are accusing her of not knowing what she is doing. You have to be able to provide the missing piece of gear out of thin air with out looking like you were prepared ( this is the biggest talent of them all)

wow can I get a job as cabana boy? I can do all these things and do back and foot massages as well. Nothing better than after a hard day of watching me work than for me to do a foot massage. I even displayed the talent in Tacoma at the dive show. I think I did alright, whats the verdict WW?

If at first you don't suceed.....don't try sky diving.
Women should always think beauty over brains since men can see much further than they can think. :)

That sounds more like boyfriend/husband rather than cabana boy!!


You're right - those are great qualities and always appreciated, but really above and beyond (outside the standard scope of work) for a Cabana Boy - much more like a boyfriend or husband.

Now the massage (foot or back) is right in line..... as we move into the ummm errrrrr more specialized duties for that one 'special' Cabana Boy. :blink:

I think I am going to have to take myself out of the running for Cabana Boy and figure out a way to turn the tables a bit. Oh BTW I heard all of the ladies decided not to do the trip to Roatan this year. Looks like we are out of luck guys. :thankyou:
