OMG!  I was lost for a moment!  So many new, uh, faces in here.....

CBB!  Tink needs a new outfit too! Pllleeaassseee?

O/T - I appologize for being off topic.

ARCOLLEY - how is Seamonkey?

Seamonkey is okay. She is a bit down in the dumps and looks like she may be having surgery soon.
Her hubby is taking her away for a few days  for some fun and relaxationand to get her mind off things.!
Other than that..she is fine.

Artcolley - thanks, I was worried about her.  Hope the surgery goes well and she gets out of the dumps.  Feeling sick can get very depressing.  Sounds like she has a very supportive husband though and that's a good thing!

[klaasend]

I was hoping that Klaas would come home with a carload of moolah!

Me too

Hi ALL

Did Klaas give us a trip report about Vegas??

Had a great time visiting with my son.  The casino was not kind to us though.  Will be a long time before we go back, LOL  

Glad you had a great time with your son!! Hopefully you only lost what you put aside to lose..lol..Where did you stay??

Hi ALL

Did Klaas give us a trip report about Vegas??

She should be mailing all of us our profit shareing checks any time now

Well, if she doesn't, we'll still have our regular checks from Red and Mrs. Red.

I wish she'd come join us, but she is one that when she is upset she doesn't want to communicate! (unlike me)  

Her hubby is a sweetie and is very concerned about her, as are we all.

Stayed and gambled at the LV Hilton.  It's not like it used to be.  They've been bought out a couple of times and tightened their slot machines.  All the "regulars" have noticed.  The good thing at the Hilton is that we are comped everything, 2 rooms and all meals (even at the Steakhouse).  

It's good to be home.

Msmarple & Anna,  

Just found this article about crime in the Caribbean...may be old news for you two, but thought I'd put it out here:

http://gocaribbean.about.com/b/a/257024.htm

That is fairly new, May of this year.  I am not sure if we have it or not but think it bears reposting.

Quote from article:

Do tourists really want to know about the problems faced by the countries they visit? I ask myself that question when I see stories like this, detailing a new report from the World Bank that proclaims the Caribbean the murder capital of the world.
Personally I was taken aback by that claim, as well as statistics showing the murder rate in the Caribbean being 30 per 100,000 inhabitants -- higher than that in Africa and far more than in the U.S., where the murder rate is about 7 per 100,000.

.

And add to that - BOC was here asking if we had heard of a man from PA that was killed in the VI...

Thanks for quoting some of it...I was not sure if it was already posted in the M & C thread, and didn't want to repeat, but did see the date as current.  It struck me as   and felt it important.  BOC had posted in the Unsolved Crimes thread about another murder of a PA man, so I was lost in search engines trying to find info.  Found this in the process.

[2NJSons_Mom]

Mrs. Red!!   Had seen BOC's post and that's how I came across it.  Great minds...

[Dayhiker]

I'm not sure who's all involved or not. I don't know who can beyond PJ2K. When they brought in Guido and charged him with the most serious of all the allegations... that must have taken everyone by surprised. I know it did me..

I'm not ready to disregard Lorenzo by any means..

Lorenzo was brought in for a reason and needed an alibi to get loose.. he didn't have one on his own that proved where he was and when.

I believe Lorenzo is involved.  I also believe that Lorenzo "business" dealings may have something to do with the coverup.

My guess is disposal. Puts Joran at the south end of the island that morning, near his best friend Lorenzo's house, the guy with the cigarette boat.

[BTgirl]

From whom did we hear how frightened Koen had been? Was it someone reliable or someone we've come to distrust?

[mrs. red]

right???? It is not safe to vacation anywhere...

[Anna]

Mrs. Red!!   Had seen BOC's post and that's how I came across it.  Great minds...

And back in the beginning when we started the Murder and Crime Thread, it was because somebody told a meeting of travel agents that Aruba had only had one murder in the last twenty years!

Mrs. Red!!   Had seen BOC's post and that's how I came across it.  Great minds...

right???? It is not safe to vacation anywhere...

Especially the Carribean. Even in the Bahamas during that Anna Nicole fiasco, the laws were rather bizarre.
I am perfectly happy right here in the good old USA.

I am not so sure he is singing but the timing of his arrest and the desperation we are seeing from AF and JR is suspicious. Appears to me that he was nailed red handed and even in Aruba he should be doing a few years in jail..Great opportunity to get some answers if he is involved..

[2NJSons_Mom]

Mrs. Red!!   Had seen BOC's post and that's how I came across it.  Great minds...

I was disappointed I didn't find anything on the St. John murder, but found something else instead....info is info.

Safety has new parameters these days....

i have traveled in the Carribean and it's pretty, (except for Aruba, haven't been not going) but the USA is also very diverse and pretty... look at how gorgeous Maine in the fall is ... and how awesome SC - is... they aren't alike and yet they are both right here!  CA is yet different again... I think there is plenty to see right here...
