Rick, Very good synopsis of the two situations. I thought of it that way, but not so succinctly. I think you are exactly right about the difference, I took charge. And, I also resolved to operate that way in teh future. An above post jokingly implied that I didn't have any balls. While it may have seemed that way, I was simply getting the lay of the land. I did not know exactly what to expect, despite reading this and other boards for months. I just wanted to go with the flow on my first trip. My biggest concern when I arrived the first time was wondering if all of the girls are available. The answer seems to be yes, and what the hell if the occasional says no. I am not normally shy, another implication above. I am usually pretty outgoing. I would just say that I was overwhelmed by the surroundings. There is nothing quite like it. I think you guys are right. I hope this makes for a useful newbie case study. As I said before, I had a bit of experience with US "providers" and I still had some trouble making the transition. It is just very different, and in a good way. I hope that anyone contemplating that first trip can learn from my experiences. Everyone posting here has at least one bad experience to report, mine happened to be the first. I am just glad I gave it another try. I was very surprised at how many gringos were wondering around TOTALLY lost. These mostly looked like the group of college buddy types. I can say without doubt that this discussion forum provided with a lot of valuable information prior to my first trip. As awkward as that first time was, I can't even imagine if I had gone without performing the requisite research. Take care guys and thanks for the feedback.
