    Hi
    Had the best Semmer of my life there in 2003 (God it was THAT long ago!). Got a place to live with 5 other lads, most people around just found somewhere in a house, not easiest but could be worse. Accom in general isn't great but sure its a J1!
    Work is also hard enough to find, through a contact we ended up working in the local cinema p/t, got a f/t job in a lumber yard (big hardwear store) - until we got fired that is, then got another job as busboys for the last few weeks. Other lads got work in Sears and as a pest control technician, he was small though and could fit into all the gaps in the walls to get to the bugs!!!!
    Place in general is brilliant, great atmosphere, depends on the group but the craic was mighty our Summer. Just make sure there's a good group of you going over, and get fake ID's if under 21!

    Yeah Hyannis, its a cool little spot. Certainely the best place on the Cape. If you have any waitressing experience the cash can be quite good, although its almost a profession over there. Try to arrive as early as you can to give yourself the best opp to get a job, and its a good idea to sort out accom before go too.
    And make sure you check out the Red Sox at least once!
