Losing her presence in this forum is a real loss for the site in general. This forum instantly died the day she left.

I even understood a little correction, or what have you coming from Rob. He does have a responsibility to inform visitors about the law. But she wasn't advocating that people flout the law, just related her past experience in the airport. Just a statement of fact, and she was berated by half of the active board users. A lot of ugliness, for no good reason other than pack mentality.
that's sad- who knew limes could bring such drama? it really sucks that she bounced. i'm planning my first visit to portland in 13 years and i would've loved to ask her a few questions. pretty much no one here responded to my question about local taxi drivers. and she used to post such great videos.

i spent a lot of time searching for limes in negril in feb. 2017. i mentioned that to my sister, so she brought a few with her when she went in feb. 2018- she didn't get stopped by customs.

i bring raw meat into haiti all the time and should probably look to see if that's against the law- i'm thinking not, since everyone does it.
