plequerre said: for us, as long as The Perch and Papagayo are open when we're in OB, we're happy. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Groovin.gif" alt="" /> Indeed!
I'm going where the weather suits my clothes.

DandM29212 said on 9/5: I think y'all are CRAZY!!! The question should be what YEAR these units will open for business!! Has everyone forgotten "Island Time"???
I'm not trying to be nasty or cynical - we're several months into this process and we've got demolition complete (oh wow!) and we've got one foundation in. We've got walls to pour and set, roofs to build, electricity, plumbing, HVAC, restaurant equipment installation, parking lots, road, landscaping, etc, etc.
This is mid-late 2016 for sure!
(and thanks to gotaluvit for the fun post!!) <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duel.gif" alt="" /> OK, now seeing the caliber of what they're building, surely it won't be forever as I originally thought with stronger construction details, but I still think 2016 is realistic with all they have to do as far as the build-outs, roadwork, etc. Framing is usually a few weeks out of several months total construction time for a house, right? Gee, I do hope its done by Easter!

I'm sticking with a Monday in November and if there is not one open before our island departure, I will take my own drinks and occupy a space. I'm sure before long others will join me and we will have an opening party! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/toast.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/toast.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/toast.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/toast.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/toast.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/toast.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/toast.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/toast.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/toast.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/toast.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/toast.gif" alt="" /> There are 5 Mondays in November, so lots of choice.

You have LOTS of Mondays to work with Doug! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> Really hoping they will be open the FIRST Monday in November though. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/dine.gif" alt="" />

OK, by popular demand...or maybe just because I want to, I am upping the award for being the winner! The award is going from, well nothing, to a drink at the Perch. I will stash $10 in a hat that I will give to Willey to hang at the bar and send a photo of the hat to the winner. I will explain the deal to her but if it were me I probably would not remember, however, if you have the picture of the hat I imagine she will go along. Unfortunately, I will not be there until January 25 so you will have to pick up your prize after that.
If you have a partner you will have to use your reward at happy hour unless the Euro continues to slide!!
This is, of course, assuming that something is open before I leave!!

Bringing this thread to the top, so people can compare their guesses with the current estimate, which is mid-November, according to the other thread.

SXMScubaman said: My first pick of November 23 is looking pretty good. You think? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" /> If the buildings are "delivered" mid-November, meaning the main construction is completed (buildings, patios, parking lot etc...) this would leave only 1 week for the tenants, to complete the interior. My own pick of end of December for the Grand Opening of the 1st restaurant looks better and better everyday. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Groovin.gif" alt="" />

SXMScubaman said: I really think it will be completed close to the scheduled time they first set. Whether they will be occupied and set up for business is another thing. I'm still sticking with Nov 23. So if they are not set-up for business by Nov 23, how could they possibly be open? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />
