Billy,
Thanks for adding us. My beau of 20 years is Keith. We are getting so excited we can hardly wait. Since we are newbies to Couples (or any AI) and Jamaica we have really gotten a lot out of the message board and all the answers to the questions we have.
Thanks again, I could not figure out how to add us on the list.
Beth

Robyn & I will be there for our 2nd visit on June 5-11. Can hardly wait!!!!

soft tropical lips are singing,
GET AWAY TO WHERE THE BOAT LEAVES FROM, it takes away all your big problems, your worries you can drop them in the blue ocean, just get away to where the boat leaves from!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JUNE....SOON COME!!!!!!!

Hi Billy & Audra:

Thanks for all your efforts on this board. We're really looking forward to getting back to the "Island" and meeting everyone again. Trying to add a picture to this post.

Dennis & Louise

Hey There June Bugs!

Have any of you done a private dinner on the beach? How much does it cost?

Our travel agent had us put her on our registry, and I'm hoping that someone gets us a private dinner as a wedding gift, but if that doesn't happen - can I sign up for a private dinner at the resort?

Less than 3 months until paradise! YAY!!

Dennis & Louise... nice picture

KarmaK.............
When you arrive at CTI and get checked in, ask to meet Ms. Maxine Williams. She is the absolute best. Tell her what you want and she will get it done for you. As far as the price, i suprised my wiffe two years ago and it was $150. A friend of mmine did it last year and I think he paid $175. I don't think it has gone up any more. I will tell you this, at almost any price it is worth it.....it is truly an unforgetable experience.

Many of us would love to see the new p[people on this thread post a picture. It is always great to have a visual before you get to CTI. Looking forward to meeting each of you.

Dennis and louise,
What a great picture!!!!! See ya soon!!!!

one Love,
Billy

Respect,

As I watch the message board and see the list grow I am wishing more and more that we could be there. I just wanted to add to Billys post that by posting a picture will make it more fun. Nights when you are at the piano bar and someone walks up and says hey you are so and so from the message board. Or when you are sitting at the bar and Billy and his gorgeous wife Audra walks by you will know it is them. I hope you all the best vacation and you all come back in 2012. We are booked!

If you have any doubts it is Billy. The one question to ask yourself is he the loudest most friendly person here. If the answer is yes it is Billy.

Enjoy your trip and enjoy every moment.

Billy,

I think us new comers are in need of your assistance.... Is there anything that we should be asking that we aren't? Like I just read that we should tip the bus driver from the airport to the resort... Is that true, if so how much? In dollars or do we need to exchange? I'm sure there are other little things that we don't even know to ask

Thanks for all of you help and support on this blog! I am bummed that my fiancé and I won't be able to say thank you in person! But we will be thinking of you and your wife and toasting you while on the beach!

http://www.facebook.com/album.php?ai...2&l=3ecd234e25 I was haing trouble posting a picture because it told me all of my pictures were to big. I don't know how to make them smaller. any help would be great, but for now this link will hopefully work.

We will be visiting CTI for our honeymoon June 19th - June 26th. This is our first visit to Jamaica, and we are very excited. We are looking forward to lots of fun while there! Hope to see some of you!

Stacie & John

Sitting down in south Florida for spring break. The weather is perfect. Love the company. But it just isn't the same as CTI and the people there. I can not wait to get there and spend my week!! I love my alone time with my husband (plus all the others that are there).
Billy, we need to find something to add to the pools this year. I am sure the frog isn't there anymore. Need something that doesn't deteriorate in the sun. I will start look and you do the same. We need to keep the fun in the pool!

Welcome everyone. You have joined a great group! See you soon!

I am adding Stacie and John...........SWEET!!!!!!

I know this is premature, but I can't wait to get all of us together again and since we have all booked already...........WHY NOT?????????

Also, Kristin,
We tip the guys that take our luggage from the lounge in the airport to the transport outside. Usually a couple of dollars or a five. Wwe also tip the driver when we arrive at CTI. Usually $10, but if he was real pleasant, shares some stories, island history, points out points of interest, etc., maybe $15 or $20. Just depends, you know! Also, don't be afraid to ask them to stop to get a few cold Red Stripes for the ride over. We usually buy 18 or so and share with those on our bus.

Caroline.....
Saw the facebook....loved it!!!
I am challenged with the picture thing also, but this is what I do. I drag the picture to my desktop, double click it to open. It opens with microsoft office picture manager, I click on picture from top dropdowns and then on Resize from with in that. That opens a place on the right side of the picture. I click on predefined size and then select web-large. It usually lets me load them after that. Good Luck!!!

Hey, Billy!!!
Look down the list on the "meet up at CTI" index! As an early vow-renwal gift to you, Dustin started a June 2012 thread. It's all ready for you to take over and keep track of.

That frog had become so nasty...I touched it and gagged a little bit. Ha ha. Good times! Can't wait to see what y'all come up with for a replacement!

My boyfriend, Cale and I (Sarah) will be there from June 5-11. We went to CN last year and are counting down the days for CTI

...sorry UK contingent signing in very late:
June and Steve 4 to 11 June.

We will of course be buying all our regular friends their first drink and all newcomers their second. The rest are on you.

See you soon x

Jonathon and Laurie,
Since y'all will arrive one day before us, I would tell you I expect a royal welcoming, but that would mean you have to leave the island and come back to shore in the middle of the day. You know I would never ask THAT much of anyone so the first round of drinks are on you!!!!!

Cale and Sarah, Robyn and Craig, Dan and Tara.............
Hey guys, we all arrive on June 5th. What time do your flights arrive?

We may all be on the same shuttle to CTI. Usually, the people going to CTI are a little louder and much more fun than those that share the ride with us and get out at CSS.......or maybe it is just me that is louder???????

At any rate, Audra and I arrive at MoBay about 12:15 and should be in the Couples Lounge by 1:00.

51 days to go..........MAN I AM GETTING EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!

One Love,
Billy

We are arriving right around that same time. Maybe we are on the same flight...we will be flying in from Oklahoma City, with a stop in Houston.

I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!

I hope that many of you will be able to join me and Brian on June 6th at 11am for our wedding!!!

Billy, I already know that you and I are going to get along well!
