Yeah, I spend as much time on this site post vaca as I did pre vaca. I think the medical term is "Culebraitis". There is only one known cure, and only a few medications work.
This is definitely a low key island....exactly what we were looking for and can not wait for our next trip.
While we did have somewhat of a learning curve on certain aspects of our trip, this forum was incredibly helpful in reducing the pain of such. Your efforts will be well rewarded if you just sit back and start reading the threads AND cutting and pasting information as you see it and save it. (I did not do that, but wished I had)
We camped at Flamenco and so roosters did not bother us. We did leave a papya on our picnic table one day and to our dismay a bird or two helped themselves to a nice little feast. Bugs were not an issue, but that was probably a function of the time of year (late Jan, early Feb).
We did not have a "lock" on our tent. No one bothered our stuff. As on any trip, don't do anything stupid that makes you an easy target. That having been said, I carried my camera in my backpack and when we were snorkeling for an extended period of time, no one ever bothered my bag.
Given the time of year, it was not very crowded. In talking with the locals, it is apparent that tourism as it is, is down from previous years.
Regards
Herb
