Tal what do you mean. If they buy it, then it’s theirs. Royal Caribbean won’t get screwed they have big money with top notch attorneys. They wouldn’t enter a agreement that wasn’t going to be profitable for them. Believe me Royal Caribbean and Disney are calling the shots. I believe it will be a great opportunity for Bahamians to get well paying jobs, but these companies will demand perfection in what they offer. The island time excuse won’t jive. No more gratuity on the check with a don’t care attitude. That happens the company will be buying the customer dinner. In other words the American way. Here in the States customer service is demanded. Customers have other options and to keep them they are made happy. I love Bahamians but that isn’t the current attitude.
I responded to you yesterday in a hurry, it was time to go to work. I drive a school bus in the North Atlanta Area. When I met John was more than 30 years ago. I’ve talked to other members of his band and I know he is in Nassau. He was or is a security guard at the American Embassy. I saw his picture in this newspaper at the Beres Hammond concert, and I have came to Nassau many times without finding him. I have gone over the hill as they refer to it, but was convinced I shouldn’t do that alone. Anyway I just want to reconnect with one of the best people I’ve ever met. Thanks for listening to me. His name is John Braynen. With internet and cell phones it’s a shame that I can’t find him. We could easily stay in touch and arrange visits. Have a great day! We’re on spring break this week and hoping to spend time on the river trout fishing.
A Bahamian man that was a great friend to my mom and I. My mom (Patti) and I (Lisa) Ashley is my daughter, anyway we spent several summers in GB. We had lots of friends. I met John at the Holiday Inn, he was a musician there. He was in a band known as John Boy and the Mustangs. I wasn’t a groupie. Patti and I spent time with him. I lost touch with him and have never quitvthinking about him. I dream of the day I see him again.
It’s been for sale for a long time. At least they have a buyer, which will produce all levels of employment. Why do you resent putting people back to work? They would of sold it to a Bahamian if they made a offer. You would rather be unemployed. Think about the people that will now be able to live better.
Let’s think positive. Grand Bahamas deserves a break. I love that Island. That’s where mom and I went mostly. That is where I met John. I left part of my heart there. I like Nassau but I feel lost and when I ask for help the men just want to spend time with me and the women just want me to go home. I’ve been told so many times that I’m not safe going over the hill and I don’t feel that way anywhere in Grand Bahamas. I eat with you, party with you and go to church with you. I love Bahamian people and your homes. I don’t travel to Nassau to stay at my gated hotel.
Enterneuers there will be plenty of good paying jobs for anyone with a nitch in hospitality. From chefs, managers, entertainment, printers for advertisers and T-shirt’s etc. Relocate before housing prices rise. Ten years from now this will major employer. Could change your financial lives forever, but there are trade offs for the growth.
