oh and butterfly, I don't think you are attracting those people, it's because you are a good person and I'm sure they can tell you have a big heart. I'm the same way when we first started going, we could never just let our driver wait hours on us, we would always invite them along..by the end of the trip we were broke, it sucks sitting at the airport and can't even buy a coffee..but we learned along the way.
I will continue to bring perfume and chocolates for the maids, and toys and clothes for the kids, but I know my limit.

Chet & Coleen, you are lucky to have found such friends and they are lucky to have you!
