I think when on holidays, some people think they are immune! No seat belts, trust any stranger, pet wild animals, drink questionable amounts of booze, smoke random herbals, eat piles of spicy food, you name it! It isn’t normal life so it’s safe to cut loose

I agree Tim, vacation are not normal life so many for sure 'cut loose'! We saw lots of drinking questionable amounts of booze-good for hotel owners and guests final bills-not so good for their heads in the morning! There'll be more on that in another post!

I mean this stuff happens in B-movies, not real life, right? Did you post a sign "No Jumping" where the guy jumped off? Now you know why McDonalds puts the warning that the coffee is hot!

Didn't seem like we needed the warning sign there and he was the only person to do it. We did put up a warning sign on our green terrace that had big rocks near the edge because we had many guests walk TO THE EDGE to look over, and there was no rail, fence, etc (not required in Costa Rica) and it scared the shit out of me! It said 'please don't step on rocks' (meaning don't walk all the way to the edge dummy!) Guess how many people DIDN'T read the sign? A LOT! 🤦🏻‍♀️

I am lmfao at the lady in the ditch 🤣 😂 Mostly because I've been in that position at least once in an undisclosed location by no fault of my own!!!

So did you capture that aerial image of the pool with the illegal drone footage you obtained? 😁

This was an awesome post lol.

Oh sure it was 'no fault of your own' Kristi! 😂😂 Not sure I believe that 😂😂

He kept the footage but 'shared' only a little with me - unfortunately I don't still have that one.

Thanks for reading!

Lol I swear it wasn't my fault. We're talking Jamaican mountain roads, middle of the night, and pretty large (invisible) boulders 🤣

Oh wow, Marlo! Yes -people will never fail to amaze and delight! I guess especially so if you are an innkeeper and have them around for a week or so at a time! The bearded dude sooo lucked out. We heard of 2 sadder tales in Mexico, not with pleasant results. I think it’s that they are on vacation, and let it fly. And maybe sunny, beachside locations bring it out even more.

Exactly-I know for the bearded surfer, he did tell me that he was SOOO excited to be on vacation he just dove in! duh. Yes, could've been much worse-it was not a deep pool.

So lucky. Very weird but I think people just get over-excited, and crazy.
