I am leaving the Island. Going back to Holland
 

My 3.5 year stay on the gorgeous island of Curacou has come to an end. 8 hours from now I am hopping on a plane with my two doggies. Back to the warm nest of my family and close friends.

It has been a great holiday but all things must come to an end.
:)

I'd be gutted to leave. At least you seem happy enough to return home though.

Must have been great out there !!

no way

youre coming back? did I mention 6 degrees and rain?

And i was just about tho have fun with you and Nils in Curacao.. hmmmz.. :Oh crap

Anyway, welcome back in Holland..

you always come back home :)

are you crazy? why not visit home from time to time and live where the weather is good

I got Island fever after 11 months of living in Curacao, after 2 months of doing all that you can do as a tourist and be wowed there's not much to do apart from work.

Everyday is groundhog day as it's basically always the same temperature, you can drive around the island in a jiffy, and there's NO tall building.

Don't get me wrong I loved my experience there but as a french canadian not speaking deutsch or papiamento I felt a bit like an outcast ;-)

With that said, can't wait to go back for a vacation.

they speak german now? i think you mean dutch :drinkup

I understand that fully. I don't think i'd actually be able to live in a more tropical enviroment with not much to do. Sure just now thinking about it i'd love it, but i do think i'd end up wanting back home eventually. Not necessarily here, but somewhere where i can enjoy doing the same things i do here. I guess i'm just a city guy... :thumbsup

have a safe trip Pat. See you in Amsterdam. :)

Have a good flight Pat... It is cold and grey here so I hope your family and friends do their best to make it a very warm nest!
Tot snel dan!

Say it ain't so! :(

Patrick!! Have a safe flight.

Make sure there is good Thai food when we come and visit. We will see you soon :)

Welcome back to Holland.
It's cold, rainy and windy :)

Good luck there...

koud, nat, guur, duur welkom terug !

Safe travels back to the homeland bud.

And the good thing is.....
we are basically gonna be neighbours:thumbsup

Welcome back P.:winkwink:

Yes, after living in Puerto Rico over a year, I didn't mind having to move back.....I did love the weather and the beaches though...I never got tired of it....But weird acting puertoricans plus the fact that you can't even find sausage in the grocery stores (cause they don't eat it), was kind of frustrating.

Being able to go to my local breakfast food joint and pick up some Chuletas (fried porkchops) made up for it though....But it made me fat as hell...I'm glad I'm not there now.

Just curious, why are you coming back? Welcome back btw:)

Yeah you nailed it. All the good and great things turn boring if you can enjoy them for to long. I started missing things like family friends and culture.

home sweet home nothing's better!

Good luck and have a safe trip.

i think that being that lon on an island you will get bored afer a while but returning to the netherlands is not much better.

Btw they speak dutch there and not deutsch wich is german. :)

I disagree Pix I was very well on my island ;) just needed more money to stay....and miss my friends

One always have to return home at some point, have a good trip back.

Welcome back Pat! :)

Bring back some of that Curacao sun if you have some bagspace left dude. :winkwink:

Have a safe flight...

I give you 3 months and you'll be dying to get back to the Island!

All the best Pat, safe travels home.

I miss St Maarten.
Simpler life, easy money, lots of booze and loose pussy :(

Family and friends are important and you realize it even more when you are away for a long time. Took me 3 years to realize it as well.

Hope you will be happy Pat :winkwink:

I hope you will have a save landing on Amsterdam Schiphol... i'll keep my fingers crossed..

Well I live now for 5 years almost in Brazil, the beginning was hard but back to The Netherlands hummm. Social climate is perfect but the fucking weather. Was there in Jan. geez men freezing your balls off and even worse there is no fuck to do in the wintertime.

But welcome back!

Where in NL do you live?

have a safe trip .. but when are you visiting manila? ;)

" 3.5 year stay " - been pimpin real high!

I'll be in Holland first weeks of April!
We should do Amsterdam with the guys!!!
Ivo, Mike, Dido, Dennis, Maria and everybody else...

Wanna do a little webmaster get together?

Franck is waiting for you.

wish you a good flight

Sounds good, I am in!

sounds like fun

Have a nice trip.

Welcome back in freezy Netherlands Pat !

LOL, sounds like you have the beginnings of a rap song there. Send it to De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig :)

Holland is one of a handful of countries in this world where I could live in a heartbeat.
It's beautiful, and the people are awesome.

Curacao is nice too, but I've only been there once. Nice for a holiday.

Enjoy the move back Home Pat... I hope all is well my friend!

I am in!
Down with a cold right now btw.

Yeah, Im in too, been out of the loop for too long :)

it's always good when you are back home :)

But but but but why????
