Hello TEAM

Please take a minute to watch the video that Diane posted. Thank you Diane.

Special thoughts and prayers to my friend Kevin who lost his mother on Christmas Eve. You are in our hearts my friend.

Joe, thanks for the laugh. I really needed it and thanks for the donation. Give your lovely bride Sue a hug for me.


Keep the good stuff coming.

Need more photos to make it through the winter.

More to come.

Hello TEAM CSA.

New years is just about here. April will follow quickly. Just my usual stuff about TEAM CSA that I have not posted yet. I post this every year for everyone new to this board.


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.

I know I come on strong sometimes about my passion for TEAM CSA and the ISSA Foundation but the main purpose of TEAM CSA is in the above paragraphs. It is about meeting friends, sharing stories and laughs, and most important having alone time with the one you love. I don't want to scare anyone away from posting here or asking questions because of my request for donations.

I will post a new spread sheet soon. I have updated the info from the last time I posted.

Fawnridge. Yes I do remember meeting you.

Welcome to Craig and Michele. You will love this place. Start saving your money for next year.

Paul, I look forward to feeding you again. I will make sure the chef grinds up your food this year so it is easier for you to swallow. Those of you that know Joe understand why his photo is so blurry, for those of you that don't know Joe the reason is because he just woke up from a nap. At his age, he takes a lot of them.

Photos are of Joe doing what he does best and Kim and Kevin. We met Kim and Kevin our first year (2005) and have become best friends. We have met them at CSA every year since.

Keep the good stuff coming in.

Safe travels.

Happy new year.

What are the 3 things that you must do when going to CSA?
What is the 1 thing that is a must pack?
and last question for now, What is 1 thing you would buy and bring back to the states, europe, or wherever you came from?
