WTF??? Massive Rant Here.......

[cfred]

Ireland sounds amazing and I've always wanted to go! I'll bet you found traveling alone that you met way more people that way? Is it beautiful there? My guess is YUP! What areas did you visit?

I go to Isla Culebra, which actually translates to 'Island of Snakes', but have only seen a few little ones so far....more chickens and lizards than anything, lol. No tarantulas as yet, but had a scorpion on my picnic table last year - scared the crap out of me! Fire ants are more of an issue for me and we have a run in every year. I was more afraid of crime, but interestingly, there's almost none and all the backpackers kinda watch out for each other. And I have to say, opening your tent flaps to see the Caribbean Sea in the morning is quite lovely

I thought a 3 month hold was standard with a deposit. No? Everyone I get in here is looking for down the road, so not sure how to handle that. Plus, I'm still building my rep in this new neighbourhood. Sometimes, as much as I love working with kids, I get very tired of doing this job...rather, maintaining this means of employment, if that makes sense.
