Thanks Steph, back atcha! Have a pretty good idea of how you're doing LOL, look at your ticker!!!

What Tfw said is spot on...some will try to tie a bracelet on your rist (and they are quick!) LOL. But then again, this last trip while I was on the beach, one of the guys I had been chattin up went to tie one on my wrist and I did the back away and "no but thank you" routine and he said...."what you cant recieve my gift?" He gave me and Sandie bracelets and we still got em on. Super sweet guy. So...ya know

Honestly, as many others have said, I enjoy interacting with locals on the beach whether they are trying to hustle me or not. Some more than others hahahaha The only other thing I would say be on gaurd for would be the aloe ladies, lol. My first trip it really tripped me out when a woman walked up and started trying to rub aloe on me, totally unsolicited. She was pretty persistent but that was really the only time I've ever got even kindof irritated.
