I have just spent two hours going through it and still have more to read. I have also been forwarding it to other people down here. Str8line (Message Board post) 06-20-2009, 09:53 PM I just spent about 1.5 hours checking out your website, Sandy. Even though we had our first trip to Hopetown last year(our next is coming up in early August!), I found a ton of informative and interesting stuff from your trip reports and links. Just wanted to say thanks for helping me become more aquainted with the Abaco's. From: fcornish2175@@yagaoddil.com Subject: Abaco Website Form Comments Date: February 27 5:33:25 PM EST Thank you to you both- your web pages have given us more info than any site on line. We have never been to Abaco although we travel the Carribean a great deal. We are booked in Treasure Cay. Any suggestions for New Years eve?........Susan Charleston, S.C. tjones@@xityofgf.com Subject: Abaco Date: February 7, 2006 10:50:14 PM EST Sandy....hi, my name is Tommy Jones and I am the Fire Chief in Griffin, GA. We are located 40 miles south of Atlanta. I just wanted to write you and say thanks for such a great web site. I have been dreaming of the Abaco's for about 20 years and your site gets me a little closer. I am hoping that this will be the year that I get to travel to Green Turtle and some of the other islands. With job and family obligations, its been tough to put together a trip like that. ............................ Your details about the islands are so vivid that I feel like I am there right now. I appreciate how you have relayed to me the non-traditional stories and photos about the island life and culture. Your info has answered alot of questions that I had about Abaco and I cannot wait to discover them for myself. If you have additional photos or stories, I would love to have a look at them. I'm hoping we can make our trip there sometime late summer.................. Posted on: 9:40 pm, February 12 The best advice I can give a first-timer is to go to www.motuiti.com/Abaco.html and read through as much of Sandy Estabrook's writings as you have time for- read about Guana (and look at pictures) then the other islands. He is a very nice man who will answer you if you write him with questions.- From: kbass66@@XXXXXX.net Subject: Re: Abacos phones/laptop Date: January 10 12:00:30 AM EST How did it go? Amazing! Beautiful! Unbelievable! Too much fun! I am almost afraid to go back b/c I am scared the next trip will not be as magical as this one. But, guess what? I'll take that risk. The trip was awesome. I did post a short trip report on the Abaco message board but wasn't sure what or how much to post. I would have never had the confidence to book this trip without your help, Sandy. Funny, how in this strange, screwed up world, you could put your faith in a stranger you meet on the internet to help you plan a family vacation. We had a blast!! From: wendy.porch@@xxxxx.comail.com Subject: Website Comments Date: January 2 12:36:30 PM EST Your pages are great! My husband and I are heading out to the Abacos (Guana Cay) for our belated honeymoon in February and are sooo looking forward to it. We knew we wanted somewhere like the Abacos- quiet, beautiful, friendly. Your pages have just helped confirm that impression and made us all the more excited. Thank you! From: gymdog813@@xxxxx.com.com Subject: RE: Abaco Date: January 6 7:07:53 PM EST I've had a lot of fun the last couple days browsing your websites and information---it's really been helpful...even MORE so than some of the travel guides I've looked at --even Bahamas for Dummies!! My daughters and I are not boaters but we are definitely beach bums!! Crowded beaches, however, are not our forte and what got me started on Abaco was an article I saw in our local AAA magazine. ALL the Cays seem to have their own personal charm, so the biggest dilemma now is choosing one. I will most definitely check things out further on you websites and hopefully will stay in touch with any questions. I briefly looked at Abacos in a Nutshell and it looks like it will be A LOT of help for the first-timer!! Thanks for your help so far!! - Take care and thanks!!

From: rc44@@xotuiti.com Subject: Website Comments Date: August 24 12:52:41 AM EDT Great site, love the pictures. You have way to much time on your hands to be able to remove the wires in the photos. I have done that to several of my own and apreciate the time involved. Thanks for the greet site. I will add it to my Favorites. From: gayraudi.sw@@xxxxx.net Subject: Abaco Information Date: November 13 1:52:18 AM EST Hi there! I enjoyed reading your great introduction to Abaco and its little paradisio cays, although I must say--from the screen it's a challenge. I've strained my eyes trying to take it all in--especially those pages that are so light that they are almost illegible. But it was worth it!.......... I started this letter with the intention of inquiring about ferries and sightseeing these days with persons in wheelchairs. We have assumed that it was impossible in the Family Islands, but with your Ph.D in Abaco and environs there's no telling what new information you might have for elderly and handicapped travelers in those parts . In any case, it was a pleasure reading your generous descriptions of the sea islands my wife, Lee, calls her "favorite place in the world." And we have traveled for many years in five continents on lecture tours, international meetings, and leading small groups of students and clergy. Thanks for the beautiful pictures. Thanks for the things we never really knew about our "favorite place in the world." Thanks, most of all, for the memories, and for the sweet sadness of being reminded, once again, that our Bahama Days are about over at 86 years and several ills the aging flesh is heir to! We only hope that our children and grands will some day enjoy the vacations in Abaco that we had in our younger years. We've certainly prepared them for it and your marvelous, high tech video increases the possibility! --------Gayraud Wilmore From: adela1207@@@@xxxxx.com.com Subject: Thanks! Date: November 14 8:24:17 PM EST Sandy I have lived in Miami for 10 years and have been wishing to learn about boating and the Bahamas for a while know. Had a week off in the Abacos some weeks back and had a fantastic time!! We rented a house close to the public dock in White Sound, a 26' / 250 HP, and we cruised most of the Sea of Abaco. Loved it!! A dream come true! And, needed to say thank you!!! your website was an amazing teacher. It made it all possible. Thanks a million!! |
