Please PM me if any fellow scuba divers and Campo enthusiasts are interested in hooking up during this time period.

While I might not quite have the credentials of our esteemed godfathers of this...

The online LA Times is currently running a very informative but depressing 5-part series entitled "Altered Oceans." I read in part 1 that 80% of the corals in the Caribbean have been wiped out. It...

Ford,
Glad to hear the HBHC offers Texas Hold-em. Do they offer a variety of structures? Are the games Limit or No-limit? How much are the blinds?

I am proud to say I was once a professional...

Rickster,
All of the ladies I dallied with during my five trips to Curacao were from Columbia, and a memorable handful of them were incredibly, incredibly beautiful. If someone put a gun to my head...

I am feeling a little sentimental right now, a sensation possibly enhanced by one hell of a "dirty" Bombay Sapphire martini. I want to thank Tbird and Ford for all of their posts that have amazingly...

Campo quality is obviously cyclical, as the girls rotate in and out, none staying more than 3 months. I've been to Curacao five different times and always encountered an outstanding selection at the...

Snowbird,

I believa a prescription is required to obtain V or C in Curacao. I know this was true when I was last there in December of 2003. I recommend acquiring these pills in the U.S. before...

I would love to hear how things are going at my favorite Caribbean retreat. I have visited Curacao on five different occasions but haven't been back since December, 2003. I have been concerned...

Mahku,

I have to take exception to Dick Dawson's claim that Curacao is expensive, lest he scare off potential newbies from visiting this unusual desert island. Having visited Curacao on five seperate...

I would like to welcome Robert St to our increasingly lively Curacao forum. Robert, I am delighted to inform you that Curacao in general and our beloved Campo in particular cools down considerably...

As a school teacher making a salary in the neighborhood of $35,000 a year, I was somewhat amused by Goga's assumption that I am economically "fortunate." And my heart bleeds for his poor friend who...

I find it quite pathetic that any tourist who could afford to visit Curacao would even attempt to seek a price reduction from the incredibly reasonable $30 dollar (or fifty guilders) flat fee charged...

If you are willing to settle for a subcompact, Budget offers the Yaris for $192 a week offseason and I think about $230 during peak times.

Also, Curacao offers numerous "apartment" complexes that...

Having lived in the Reno, Nevada area for four years in the glorious early 1980s before virus scares put a damper on the scene, and having done some mongering in Indonesia, Amsterdam and Prague, I...
