Default So who is it going to be?

I'm wondering who of our Rooey's that lives in the States is going to do a proper trip report?

I have read John's to Coz, Michelle's to Paamul and the Caye place...even Ginger's Luna Blue one. They are great, but we are missing something here.

I am wanting one of those wait on every segment reports, where you sign in and hunt for the report you have been reading for a week. Where the author spares no details, even telling about how the lady next to them on the plane snores and drooled when she fell asleep leaning up against them. I am hungering for that fresh perspective from someone who hasn't been to Playa to explain what was so special, what I have forgotten or taken for granted.

So who is it going to be? I know a bunch of you are heading down, who is going to step up and post a billion pics and brag about the food they ate? Cause I am waiting to live through your eyes...

End of the Mission Impossible music!

Sounds like "crop-duster" has a case of those Midwest Wintertime Blues!
Can't say that I blame ya though. Since I'm the worlds worst at those TR's and not a "real" partier anymore it won't be me but I still enjoying watching (maybe more so)
AND I have a new camera.

You hit the nail on the head. Dealing with a foot of snow on the ground, I need to live through a trip!!!!

I'll give it my best the end of April but I can't guarantee I sit next to a slobbering fool on the ride to and fro

I'm anxiously waiting as well... I'm sure they'll come eventually, and we'll all be patiently waiting for each new episode to be posted.

Whenever we have new guests in town, I always try to imagine what is going through their minds... face to face with their fears of the unknown... their exploration of this new and scary place that they've been warned of, by a friend's cousin's brother who once came here 5 years ago and had a bad experience. I'll never get to experience that feeling again (here in Playa anyway), so I need my Trip Report fix from the Roobies as well!

Go team!

Ok we leave in a week and I would love to do a TR as I havent ever done one. One question I have of you vets is, how do you remember what picture went with what? How do you remember what happened in such vivid detail on day one when you stay for 9 days?? Do you have a computer with and just do it each day or do you have photographic memories??

I took pics to remind me of what I did each day. I was going for way to long to remember everything, but if you want to be a teacher's pet (pun intended Kirby), you could take some notes!

Looking forward to your report now that you said you would do one! Sucker...

Bah!

Now I've been committed???....or should be committed?

I will have to take notes i guess. I'd just bring my laptop but besides no wifi in our hotel, I pretty much dont trust leaving anything worth 2K laying around my room.
