It took me longer than usual to write up this report. There was a lot of material to digest and compile, and there were instances where the only thing that allowed me to gain the necessary perspective to put the experiences on paper (or, should I say, keyboard and monitor) was the passage of days and weeks. As a result, you are now reading the finished product more than three weeks after the fact.

I don't intend to give away the story in the introduction, so I'll just use this section to lay out a few brief ground rules. Issue number one has caused me more internal conflict in report-writing than any other... the public naming of chicas. After my first two TJ trips, I waffled back and forth on this issue before deciding to change the names of one or two chicas, in cases where the information was potentially sensitive.

This time, the decision was much easier, and I opted to continue the same practice. "Elisa", who played a major role in my first two TJ visits (and did so again this time), retains the same designation. The other lady whose name I changed is "Maribel". She played a minor role in my last trip, but a more prominent one this time around.

Other than those two special cases, I've used real working names. This is kind of a middle-of-the-road approach. As a result, I've taken heat from both sides on this issue in the past. For me at least, what I've done here seems to be the best balance between providing an informative and interesting report and allowing a reasonable degree of consideration for those chicas that seem to inspire me to write in extreme detail. That was my decision... I know that not all reading this will agree with it.

I do provide brief descriptions of explicit sexual encounters; however, that is not the main focus of my writing. There are some writers on this board who have a real gift for writing Penthouse Forum-type material. No sarcasm at all in that statement; make no mistake about it, I do enjoy reading stories like that... it's just that writing them is not my forte.

I am a bit of an oddball on this board in that I live far away from TJ, but enjoy traveling there and at this point, have no great urge to try another destination. Therefore, I think I can lend a rather unique perspective to the whole TJ scene, and I've tried to bring that out.

Finally... my writing style is contemplative, and at times dramatic and emotional. If that's not your cup of tea, be forewarned.

Only the innocent have been changed to protect the names
