The all new TEAM CSA April 2011 Thread

**tomdorothy** · January 14th, 2011, 04:27 PM

Hi TEAM,

I am going to start a new thread. Why?? I current thread is now 6 pages long. I started at the beginning to start a spread sheet with everyone's names. I soon found out that there just wasn't enough info to make a spread sheet possible. So here is the new thread.

Please post here from now on. Please give me your names, where you are from, and when you will be at CSA in April of 2011. I wlll start a spread sheet in order of arrival date. This way every one can see who will be there at the same time as they are.
Also if you are able, post a photo of yourself.

Tom

P.S. PACKERS ALL THE WAY TO THE SUPERBOWL!!!!!

Hi TEAM,

A few reminders for this new thread.

I started TEAM CSA in 2006 as a way to meet couples and help the children of Jamaica. I have posted many times what I feel the true meaning of TEAM CSA is. Folks watching and posting on the TEAM CSA threads has grown dramatically every year since 2006. Last year was absolutely crazy with over 600 posts and almost 22,000 views. It looks like TEAM CSA 2011 is also running strong with almost 5,800 views already on the original thread.

What Team CSA is about??

In 2005 Dorothy and I celebrated our 25th anniversary by going to CSA. It was our first time in Jamaica. We, as many couples do, absolutely fell in love with CSA. On the plane home we talked about making it a yearly event. We had a wonderful time but for the most part we stayed by ourselves, which is what we wanted at that time. After we booked our trip for 2006 we decided that it might be fun to meet some couples on the message board before we went down so we started Team CSA. Many couples responded. Then when we arrived at CSA, some of the couples that were responding on the message board met in the sports bar. We met many couples that we responded to the months and weeks previous to the trip.

Team CSA is about meeting couples and becoming friends. We still have our alone time but when it is time for dinner there was always someone there to sit with and share a meal, someone to talk to while having a drink at the swim up bar, someone to share experiences with, to laugh with. And believe me, we laughed a lot. In no way is Team CSA about being loud, rude, or drunk.

One other thing, when you post your info, add in how many times you have been to CSA.

More to come.

Tom

We are 35 years old and looking to escape the kids and relax and unwind. Looking for other couples to hang out with and maybe take a trip to the Pelican bar. 93 days till we're home.

Mr Tom...

It's going to be a classic game Da Bears vs The Packers. Got to root for the Bears since the Lions won't be there.

I think it is our 8th year at CSA
