2 years and the splinters are out my @$$!

[Thomas]

I first discovered this board about 2 years ago and it smashed the stereotypes I had (old, rich desperate white guys etc)especially when I read Hodas story. Anyway I contacted him (I think I used to post as Jorel then not sure)and he told me to get down there asap! Well you know the story I came up with every excuse in the book.
  I had a breif engagement here and forgot about this whole thing until recently when my engagement ended. Anyway I contacted Latin Encounters last week to go down there in OCT but today I said screw it. Isnt 2 years long enough? I cant wait another 2 months! So today I changed my vacation to Sep 19-30 and will join the Sep tour. To make sure I couldnt back out I bought my plane ticket today also. So now after 2 long years I can officially say my ass is off the fence.

 Id like to thank Hoda for inspiring me back then and more recently all of the fellas who have posted here PeteE etc.. and especially JuanFan (its to bad he doesent post anymore hes a real decent guy)I have alot of preconceived notions but I imagine its like skydiving you can explain it all you want but you dont know the deal unless you do it yourself.
If anybody will be there at the same time as me let me know and ill buy you a beer. Peace..

Thomas,
Good,just go ,you will be changed forever.My concern with tours is they cost alot of money,there are too many women to deal with during the time of the events,then they are over quick.As long as you stay on after the tour and give yourself time to meet some women you should be OK.I would go with all the imformation about the agencies in case any one does not have what you are looking for.This Recardo's(?)
place guys have been talking about recently sounds good.
The quality of women who will be interested in you is unlike most guys ever experience here.
Go south young man,go south.
