suzengrace,
Thanks for clearing that up. I think Lola and I disagreed with your comments because we thought you were referring to Gerry's situation. For Gerry and the advice being provided to him by those trying to help him, I suppose you must have been unaware that Gerry does not have family on the island. He also does not work on the island or have a job on the island. So Lola and I were not exactly sure how your advice applied to his situation, or the situation of virtually all the other visitors to the island that have been following this thread.
Thank you again for clearing up your comments.
