I spent almost my entire day at the Welcome Hut today. That’s the place where members and prospects (people visiting who are thinking about buying property) gather after stepping off of the plane. There they are served iguana punch (see “I serve, you serve, we all serve…“) and are given nice citrus-scented towels to wash their hands off with. This week at Ambergris Cay is going to be a huge week! There are going to be forty people on the island all at once! Yesterday a party of sixteen arrived and others have been coming ever since! I know, forty is way too crowded, you guys had better find yourself another 1,100 acre private island with less people. Still, it’s a big change from the four people maximum we’ve had on this island at one time since I arrived. Anyway, I served the towels and drinks (but not the rum, don’t worry) and even got to go up to one of the cottages to drop the members’ luggage off. I think that, overall, one of my favorite jobs is working in the welcome center because I get to meet lots of new people.
