La Tortuga is probably a 5-minute walk to the ******.
The "stuff" that happens is a that a bunch of people who have this forum in common meet and have a few drinks (not necessarily alcohol - to each his own, ya know!), discuss what they've done in Playa or planning to do in Playa, exchange tips and advice and maybe a funny story or two. That sort of thing. Sometimes you meet folk you wish lived in your home town; sometimes you meet folk you're glad live far away. It's not a "swinging" good time..... just a chance to meet some strangers who can possibly become friends.
For me, meeting people from this forum was such a treat after getting to know their personalities here. As others have said, upon meeting some peeps they seem very similar to what I had envisioned they'd be like in person. And in some cases, the impression I got from the forum of someone was waaaay off. Sometimes good, sometime not. But the folks I met last week were 99.9% really nice folk who I feel I now have a special connection with when I see them here on the forum. And as for where many of those peeps live in relation to me.... I wish MANY of them lived much much much closer!!!!!
Put simply, we don't bite. Come on by and check us out. Have a drink and then leave ("I have plans to meet a friend....") or stick around and enjoy our company. No pressure.
