Momthor3, you can say that again, last winter ran out of room to push the snow. Going to be a bunch of Sask folks in Feb. We arrive 4th but from 10-24 there will be a group of about 15 more arriving!

This is going to be good! I'll need to make a list of who is where when. I know the "why" for all us Canadians! :) Rose, I would suggest you follow a couple of webcasts - there are usually a bunch of boardies at those. Start with the Seastar Sat night Reggae party - call the Seastar and they will pick you up and bring you back for free (but tip Henry the driver!)
Jamaicarob - hope we run into you again. We saw you at the 3 Dives webcast last year. Hope we run into you - and everyone else!
Irie - I will save you guys a table, but I cant guarantee saving you a beer or rum punch! :) We should do a practice run at Tasty Treats or Anancy sometime soon! Maybe we can get Dash to join us! Dash?
PS - we will be doing 2 volunteer times at St Anthony's kitchen, and I encourage any and all of you to try the same! They can always use helping hands! There is an early bird breakfast programme for the kids (we got there at 6:30-7 until about 8:30 or 9, and they serve lunch - get there 10:30 and finish up by 1. Great way to spend some time. It's a wonderful experience, believe me!
M&G I would love to come with you to St Anthony's one morning, I am there from 10th to 17th let me know if those any of those dates fit your times. Rasthai- I too am arriving on the 10th, we are probably all on the same plane lol...... Dash, hey Dash, come on down, we need to dance some more at Seastar!!!! Great time! So looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting loads more new ones!!!
I would be very afraid to go in February. With all the confirmed boardies together it would be too much fun. One must set limits!
Where's the list?

happy to make any additions or changes! Gonna be a good time, group! Gonna be a good time!
(does anyone else hear what sounds like Rob crying??? ...)
Great Job M & G I will be at Rooms too...Ken and Kelly what about Fun Holiday, Legends, Charela are all showing vacancies for I think I used Feb 7 hope this helps( I used TO don't know where u fly from).....pm me more details and I can find you something
Momthor! We would love to go to St Anthony's with you! I will PM you this week or next with our cell number down there, but we will definitely set aside some time from the 10-14 Feb with you there! Maybe the 11, 12 or 13th would be best! I don't have the cell number handy right now - so much going on around here the last few weeks, I haven't got a handle on what is where! Been Crazy. If I don't PM you - poke me hard! You will not regret this unusual vacation activity! You will fall in love with that place and all who work there and go there! It is an experience not to be missed. Actually, it's ahead of "buy rum" "go to the beach" on the list of have to do's! You will LOVE Miss Pearl and all who work there! Thanks for the opportunity to introduce somebody to St. Anthony's and all they do and who they are! I guarantee you - you will be awed!
Interesting to note the repeat hotels. Blue Cave Castle, Rockhouse, and Catcha. Only ones that appear more than once and not much more than twice! Interesting. Not a lot of AI's in there, but that's no surprise. We all have our "Special Place", eh?
OMG! You must help them, Momthor! They sound like Canadians trying to escape the cold in Canada! It is not a luxury .... it is a necessity.
Hmmm. New note on list for Feb. Lots from MN, SK, ON, QC, MB, .. is there a pattern here? I did not note too man Florida or Cali residents. Are we escaping "something"? Like MINUS FREAKING 30????????
Hey guys, this is the G in the M&G Montreal.
Maybe we want to take the "gailnegril bean pledge" ?
The cool thing is it is a great excuse to visit Treehouse when you drop the pledge off.
Here's what Gail wrote :
$25/ bag of bean pledge needed today for St Anthony's Kitchen
i am shopping today for Treehouse and if you would like to pledge a bag of beans for $25US
Just say yes with your Name and drop by $25 on your next Trip to me at Treehouse!
I ship from Miami / 25 lb of beans go a long way!
Gail Jackson / Negriltreehouse@gmail.com
And Gail got this response from us :
Hi Gail : This is so great ! We will come to the Treehouse with $25 bean pledge, first two weeks in February 2014. These red beans come from Canada, no less, at least the bag at St. Anthony's in July was Canadian. We will be doing a morning at St. Anthony's too : it is a good way to give back to Jamaica. Thanks once again for thinking of a drive to help St. Anthony's do their work.
M&G Montreal
I guess this makes me Mr. Bean, eh?

TREEWACKER & KAREN will b there .

G of M & G Bean there, Done that!! lol I am by Treehouse a few times on our daily beach walks and will drop off my payment in Feb. as well-what a great way to help out!! Thanks to Gail for giving us this opportunity!! There are a few of us at ROOMS too. I am looking forward to coming to St Anthonys with you as I had intended to visit on my own this reach. I had hoped to help out at the Donkey Races this trip but will miss them, and had helped out at a fundraising supper two trips ago. Gonna be a Great Time!!!

To all you folks going in Feb. 2014.
If you can, please hep the local musicians out and bring some guitar strings with you to give out.
The beach guys playing acoustic guitars like medium or light gauge strings $3.50 -$5.00 a set at any music store where you live.
The guys playing in bars playing electric guitars like light to extra light gauge strings , about the same price.
Guitar strings don't last long in the salt air and they will be thrilled with the gift.
Bless Up. and thanks.
