I don't know what to call it..***trip report****

[rastagal]

"i got back to my room just it time, it started raining again so i opened my windows and door, and took a nap.. around 4:30 my new neighbors arrived.. three guys here for spring break... judging from the questions the asked me (carrying cups of alcohol while walking and smoking), they were first timers. I woke up to them talking loudly with the security about ganj and what not i just laid in bed and listened to the rain fall and their conversation.."

That's the one thing I don't like about HP...if the next room isn't booked by someone you know you can get some pretty crappy neighbors, and since you have to share a porch and you can hear EVERYTHING through the slats in the windows it can suck. I was stuck next to some 15 year old Italian kids who did nothing but sit on the porch and listen to weird techno trance music all day and night....woohoo!

Where are you staying Breanna? Am looking for a place.

Im staying at hidden paradise...its a nice property.. great nightly rate (76 peak seaon and 55 off season) and all rooms have a/c, mini fridges and tvs. the property also has a pool

So i went through and deleted all of my entries thus far..

when i started writing this i did it in the style i'm used to talking, i'm very open, however, a fellow boardie who i do not know saw my posts and told and my lets just say "friends" here were not happy about it.. even though i never posted anything incriminating or slanderous toward anyone i can admit that i am wrong for not using more discretion when it came to names and such. im young and dumb. i didn't really think much of it because they are just my friends, people i hang out with in the day.

regardless i wont be doing any more, ill post pictures of food and what not but i won't write anymore daily reports.

sorry to all.

Oh dear

BreanaAshlee hope you continue to have a good time and post away.

[TizzyATX]

Can you just abbreviate names or something? I'm really enjoying your report, but of course it's whatever you are comfortable with.

[poolguywindsor]

You can do as Gerry does make sure you ask about being in the report (disclaimer) before posting!

[jasperpso]

My opinion is if you were there and they were there, and you want to write it down, who are you harming?

[Guirigay]

Do what you think is right, Breanna. I think you nailed it on the head when you mentioned discretion. Thinking about the effects of your actions is a good thing. Considering the view points of others is not "young and dumb" but incredibly mature. I had the pleasure of reading all your posts before they were pulled and you seem to move in a circle of family and friends of family and friends you've made who live there. There is a lot more involved in writing about close or continuing relationships than just a trip report. That doesn't mean there aren't ways to write about it if you want to. Best of luck and I hope the blowback isn't too bad.

Peace and Understanding

Breanna, I can say from experience that I think you are making a good decision to consider the issue. You are far from 'young and dumb' IMHO.

Plain and simply put, there are people who prefer not to have their image posted on a public site, or who choose not to be associated with certain actions or behaviors...OR risk the potential "blowback" on return trips from certain individuals who live on the Rock...and who certainly read this message board...

The right to privacy is legally supported. Unless you are, of course, a public figure or elected official, these rights are enforcable through the courts. I for one don't take a person's privacy lightly.

Those that don't write Trip Reports can talk all they want about growing up. If their image--or reputation--was impacted they may feel differently. Especially if it could impact their safety.

That said, i really hope you consider writing your reports with real names redacted. I was enjoying the way you roll...it was an experienced Trip Report and I was learning a lot about the beach and Hidden Paradise.

I don't blame ya if you don't...and either way have a great trip.
