Well!! Well !! Well !!! Too much tendency to meet at trendy NORTH. It is much more peaceful and cheaper down south. Why don't you all try the Saint Felix Public Beach.聽 We have much cheaper booze and ,food and fresh food made on site!!No rip off!! I can always organise everything if a group wish to meet up at Saint Felix public beach.
Take Care and enjoy the sunny weekend on Paradise Island, Mauritius.
With Lots of Love & Best Wishes

I am for Mon Choisy beach. Or anywhere in the North. St Felix is at least an hour away. I think everybody would agree with me that it's not worth going all the way down south when we have amazing beaches, lovely restaurants and all facilities in the North!

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm not sure how many people here in the north can make it down to south for the meeting.
However feel free to join us if you can make it to the north!!

Hi - post the info and get people to confirm their attendance, cos there tends to be a lot lets do, but no action.聽 I will get to Mont Choisy Beach.. You will have to be very explicit as it is quite long.

Hello Vegan, I am very interested in your proposal. I can find some people here in Flic-en-Flac to join. What are your conditions? Genevieve

It seems we've all agreed for Mon Choisy. Like last time we met at the pineapple seller point close to Tarissa Hotels , right after the traffic light . what do you guys think so we can finalize the meeting?

What time will the meetup happen?

Won't it be easier to rendezvous near a bus-stop so that folks can arrive and not get lost?

Otherwise we can all meet where clinton says, we will just need GPS coordinates

Normally we can wait for others at the same spot for 15mins before we can start or maybe move to another spot

Yes for me and my family.
Bring and share sounds good. We could have the beach toilets area as meeting place and then once everybody is here we can pick a spot. Chairs would be most welcome. Or beach mats. I will be bringing my 16 months old baby. It would be great if others could bring children.

I guess no one is reading the previous posts, and here is what it looks like!

Date: Sunday Dec 13, 2015.
Place : Mon Choisy beach
Time : 12 noon
Food , drinks , bring and share!!

We can meet at the pineapple seller point, just at the end of the road right after the traffic light. Then we can find a better spot.

Hi Swieckaanna
I don't know which one is more easier to locate,聽 close to the bathroom or the spot I mentioned earlier. You guys should decide so people don't get lost looking for us!

Hi Gj,
How does one find out the process re: customs , in bring animals into the country?
Thanks

That's probably because most posts are really obsure... it takes ages to search around and find them... in other words, this 大咖福利影院 site doesn't work very well - for the expats. Probably good to collect data, but has forgotten to make sure we can 'see' each other, and the matters we are driving.... such as your hope for us all to meet with you on Choisy Beach, noon on 13 December, 2015! Peace, old Susanne xs

Hi Barbara, At the moment I have no Internet at home so it's a little difficult to answer your questions; and the laws change very often. Will you be at Mon Choisy on December 13?
See you

I don't think you need permission to join the meetup Sima

Just come along and make yourself visible to Clinton or Barbara

I don't want to speak on behalf of anyone else, but I think the more the merrier @Nasrullah

The point of the meetup is to meet expats and locals alike and we can all do activities together in the near future - once we get to know each other (I hope I am not getting ahead of myself

)

I don't know if the expat site allows for numbers to be shared in public (and I don't think anybody wants to be stalked either), so perhaps you guys can message Clinton/Barbara privately and get their contacts.

I have 1 question though, do any of you guys know if the bus service runs on Sundays? If so, until what time?
