Can't wait to see you in April, Have a Merry Chtristmas AND Happy new Year !!!!
I was born in 1980... but point taken. You know I love you, but if you don't feel safe, it's good that you are looking elsewhere for vacations. I am too! I have to believe the police are doing what they can with whatever resources they have... Because really, hat can we do about it? Ligit information helps people make informed decisions, I agree.. but what can we do? I know the local residents are very concerned about how this all affects the tourist industry. Go to a rotary club or industry meeting if you can. I went when the Miniater of Tourism was in attendance. It was very interesting and gives you another perspective. It's the locals who suffer th most from all of this, and we are so worried about our vacations. i know many of us are very mindful of how this affects our favorite drivers, hoteliers, restaurant and bar owners.

How can we be a voice for them??? How ca we make a difference that really counts?
