Thanks to all who post on CRT. Your insights and information are an invaluable guide to my virgin, newbie, trip to CR in October.
For me CRT has become a "Cheers" on-line. While I have never had the pleasure of meeting any of you, I feel like I know many of you. I look forward to the humor, knowledge, insight and wisdom of all.
From my very short time on this board, I really appreciate the limited amount of flaming that takes place, and the genuine support that seems tangible even in the starkness of the on-line experience. As a man, society has taught me not to be supportive of other men. If I do that, I may be perceived as weak (not the Alpha dog that I must be to be a real man). IMHO "flaming" is similar to "road rage". IMJ most people would not do either in a face-to-face situation. It can be done from afar and is safe. It is my ego wanting something for me. Flaming is head thinking (ego). When I have these feelings I take the longest eighteen inch journey a man can take, from my head to my heart. The same thing can be said in a much kinder way. While my ego always wants something for me, my heart always wants to give something of me.
If you choose, feel free to flame me, I'm an old f*rt and can take the heat. I have asbestos lined shorts on.
On my trip I will: laugh often, take a cab at night, sample Pamela @ ZB, tip more than a few, cover the backs of those around me if necessary, will take at least one day trip, and a few hundred other ventures, from the 100 or so pages of your tips I have printed. While I have prepared well from your many posts, I remain very felxible. Also, I will represent North American (and California) in a positive way at all times.
On my trip I will not pay a cien. Why pay a cien por uno, when I can have dos at ZB or more at other MP's. Mr. Johnson (aka Wide Willie) doesn't have eyes anyway. I will not be looking for a novia. I will stay away from the park.

Many more won't do's..........
Health & happiness to all!!!
