Thanks for sharing your trip with us all and you're correct - many of us do choose to enjoy the island through the trips of others until it's our turn again.

The islanders will always appreciate that little extra smile and greeting and may be rather outspoken towards you if you ignore those pleasantries. But in general, over so very many years of visits, we've always found the people to be pleasant and helpful and when you take the time to really get to know them, their laughter is infectious and sense of humor is unparalleled.

Glad things are going well and will look forward to your next installments. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
