Hi all,

Sorry about that, just wanted to take a look around before I throw my hat ( or anything else for that matter) into the ring.

Let me start by thanking the Acade...I mean Dejah, "you've gotta check out this site...did you check out SD?....don't forget to take a look at SD", for pointing me in the direction of what looks to be a very promising site. Thank you ma'am.

I just came back from a solo trip aboard the Turks & Caicos Explorer earlier this month. I had a phenomenal time, I lucked out and ended up with the room to myself (I toyed with the idea of paying the supplement to guarantee this, but I had a gut instinct that said I wouldn't need to). I also lucked out in that all passengers got along very well. Most of my trips seem to rely on luck, and to date I have not been disappointed...but, I know Mr. Murphy is waiting round the bend (bad buddy, bad roommate, etc). So here I am! (Don’t run! I only look like that before I have my morning cup...)

It looks as though WW has some great trips lined up for this year (the Roatan trip seems to be calling my name) and from what I hear WW seems to do a great job in ensuring everyone walks away with some great memories (that or she drowns them before they can tell anyone)

I see allot of familiar faces from some other places and many new ones.
Well on that note, I just want to say hello all...

HELLO ALL!!!

Jeff :lol:

Hi Jeff!!

Welcome to SD!! :cool1:
WW doesn't need to drown anyone if they're not having a good time. Here's what she does:
she takes them to a bar and forces copious amounts of liquor in them.
Then she forces them to repeat "I'm having the best time here!!" over and over. Next she has several photographs taken of the person in many a compromising position with everyone she can lure into the setup.
Finally, when the person wakes up with a memory of the previous night, she flashes the pics of how much fun that person had.
That's it!! Now they believe they had a fantastic time!!

Actually, WW has never had to do that!! Her trips are really a lot of fun and she takes care of all the details.
I'm planning on going on the Roatan trip too! It should be a blast!

Hey Jeff,
Welcome aboard :cool1: Of all the places you could have found, you found us!! We're a little nutty here but have lots of fun. Look around and enjoy yourself--but watch out for the lovely ladies (They're kind of aggressive). You have been warned!! Hope you have a ball here.
