PB Tom...who are you?

[CruisingCatherine]

I don't mean any disrespect by my title. I have been hanging around this thread for a while. I notice that you were born in Canada? and now live in Cozumel. How did this happen? Do you own Paradise Beach or do you work there? You do a lot of volunteer work getting school supplies for local children. Were you a teacher before? I am really looking forward to coming to PB in September and I am looking forward to meeting you as well. You are very helpful and informative to all of us!!:D I just thought it would be nice to get to know you a little better before our cruise.

The short version: In 1996, I was working in Key West on a large schooner (sailboat), and was then asked to help sail a small trimaran to Cozumel. I'd never been to Mexico before, so that sounded like a good idea! Fell in love with Cozumel, (and a local gal!) and I've been here ever since!

I'm the PR/Promo Guy here, I don't own PB, but I pretend when the owner's not around!

My friends Susan and Sally do a lot of work for The Chrysalis Group, I just offer to use Paradise Beach as a drop-off point for donations.

Unfortunately I won't be here in September, I'll be off on my vacation, recharging my batteries for the busy High Season ahead!

Have a great vacation!!

Well, now I understand. Love will move you somewhere new in a hurry. Hope you are still in love with that local gal!! We are leaving on our cruise September 26th. We won't be in Cozumel until October 1st. Will you be back by then?

Oct 1st? Hard to tell, haven't really finalized our dates yet! I'll let y'all know, and yes, still in love after all these years!
