Get together in Luquillo Oct 27

ReyP
#1
I have been organising a get together for members of the Forum at the Brass Cactus at 5 pm on Oct 27. We currently have about 8 people showing up. Since I do not know who else would like to join us, or is close enough to attend, I am making this an open invitation.

If you were not previously contacted and would like to Join us, please private message me your real name and a phone number to contact you in case the hour changes or if there is a need to move it to a different location and to know how big of a table to get.

Those that responded already are in the list.

My photo is all over this Forum, so you should have no problem locating me or the group.

Lets chat, have some drinks and something to eat, lets exchange PR experiences, good or bad. Plan on 2 to 3 hours to get to know each others and exchange contact info with some.
Thanks, hope you can make it.

Jose the meet up is scheduled for 5 pm and will probably run for 2-3 hours between chatting, drinks and dinner. Obvoiusly each person is responsible for their consumption. I will need a phone number for you so I can let you know if there is any issues or delays, send me a private message with that.

Some updates:
*** We are still set for 5 pm at the Brass Cactus in Luquillo on Tuesday Oct 27 ***

The count so far is 16 to 17 people attending, so there is plenty of people to meet.
If anybody has not made up their mind yet there is still time, I check the site multiple times a day.

So you know which avatars are attending: Frogrock and Brother, Sugarbird, A couple Friends of Sugarbird, Melendezki, Johnnyhulk, BearNVa, JoseTosa, and westernprguy. Most are couples so we got 16 or 17 total.

Now some bad news but not affecting the meet:
* I just heard that I will not be able to close on the house in Ceiba due to an issue with the drawing of the land plot being incorrect and not matching the records on file. I been told it is going to take several weeks to get it straight. (Island time).

But the meet is still on, and we will lay on the beach and spend some swimming pool time instead of closing on a house and meet you all at 5 pm.

This is a great opportunity to meet others, try to make it.
Those that have not given me a count of their party, or have not send me contact information (Phone and email) please do so as soon as possible.
Thanks
Rey

Rey,

Sorry to hear about your house. But you want to make sure everything is in order before closing, and yes it is island time so it will probably take longer.......

Maybe we get to meet you in December if it get push back that far....

sorry about the closing.... seems this is common here on the island... we were ready to buy on the westside and when it got down to brass tacks we found out that the owner of the land we were wanting had no idea what he had... the CRIM and the deed didn't match and he had no idea what the property lines were so the realestate agent took the property of the market said they would get back to us and we never heard anything more... so we bought on the east side. We keep looking for it back on the market but it hasn't been listed again...

Buying a place in is not too straigh forward in PR, specially when not there to supervise each step.

But what is important at this moment is that we are having a get together and making new friends.

I heard they make good margaritas.
Some of you been to that restaurant, I never been, so what do you all recomend there?
BearNVa

the burgers are good and the mojitos are good...

Let me know also for January. It would be great to meet you guys then.
Maybe we can meet somewhere in between the east and west coast for some of us not near the metro area.

I sure will let you know. Wife never been to west of the island so we may have a day trip there.

We can always get a big group together and head to your place, LOL.

Update: We have a reservation for 15 people at the Brass Cactus in Luquillo at 5 PM Tuesday Oct 27 under the name Rey Perez.聽 Table is in the inside of the restaurant, not in the bar area. Please try to be on time.

See you there guys and gals, I will try to come in a little earlier to hold the table and sample the Margaritas.
Rey.

PS. I have email and phones for any last minute issue, I will call or write an email if that is all I have. I will also try to update this subject in the forum if there are any changes.
Now I need to get ready as I flight tomorrow to PR.

Well we used today to get a p.o. Box and a checking account at Banco Popular.
That should make transition easier.
1/2 hour at post office and 2 hours at the bank, not too bad.

Today is the day! I have to make a dress, buy shoes, get my hair curled, my nails painted and say the Rosary.
Or, I can start the party early and open a bottle of Don Q for breakfast.聽
What's a girl to do?

We lost two from the west side of the island so the count is a little lower but still good.
I invited two friends from PR, besides being friends, one is a realtor and the other is a lawyer/notary. Those coming will be able to ask them questions.
They will probably show a little late since they coming from the metro area.
Other than that no changes, lets see who dances first on the table.
