Hello All,
I am a fortunate exsnowbird who moved to this beautiful and charming island 3 weeks ago, and am hoping to meet some people to hang out with, snorkel, eat, drink, laugh, explore the island with etc...I am a young 50, with an adventurous spirit and great sense of humor..let's meet as a group, safety first..any takers??

Lorraine, just go to Dinghy Dock or Mamacita's around happy hour time (if you don't drink alcohol, doesn't matter, just hang out awhile). There are quite a few folks around here your (our) age - and age doesn't matter much here anyway. Just introduce yourself (even if it's just to the bartender...we have GREAT bartenders here - in fact they were some of the first people I met here) and see what happens next. You're safe, no worries.
Also, there are ways to get involved, which is another way to meet people. Both the local school(s) and Abbie's school (just ask, anyone can tell you how to get there, including me) are always looking for volunteers, also at the library they need people (go past the fire station, it's the trailer behind the fence - if the fence is shut, so is the library), another good way to meet people. I don't know if you speak Spanish...if so great, if not, it doesn't matter, and it will be a big help if you want to learn.
My advice is always...take it slow, get to know the place, take a lot of walks, say hello to everyone you see (buenos dias, buenos tarde, buenos noches) with a smile...it works.

Yeah, I'm afraid the fame to follow will be overwhelming...do you think I can charge for photos (I still the idea of selling Island Woman Told Me Where To Go bumper stickers..)?

I wouldn't cash in your...um...what do you cash in and lose money on? thingys in hope of a quick return. However, I might offer you 2 bucks to delete it from existence? That's almost worth a whole drink here!

Enjoy Culebra!

I'll make the circle complete...if I do the bumper stickers I'll have Lorraine be my PR rep and she can sell them around the island...enabling her to meet people (you included Michael).
There.

I think you should make those bumper stickers...I know I would buy one and I am certain so would many of your cart visitors. You were surely helpful to us when we were there in February.

OH, by the way...love all your photos posted of gotoculebra...and one more question..when do you sleep?

Sheesh, I am so busted. I'm going to check out the bumper sticker thing. Really. I mean it. I'm hurrying to do that right now!
Thanks, re the photos. It's something that has been a lot of fun this last year...digital gods in a box!
And...as my brother answers your last question best, I will steal his line...Don't wanna miss anything; we can sleep when we're dead.

consider t-shirts as well...with a little equipment, you wouldn't even have to outsource the screening.

MJ, If you need help finding a place to have the bumper stickers made, let me know. I made some for the company I work for. Just so you know, on my office wall amongst all my pictures is one of your cart...and I'm thinking of making cards from it, so I'll send you some when it happens! Sign me up for a bumper sticker!
