Hi, Sleuth,
Have seen you on the Front Page but you are such a stranger back here in the Forum~!  We miss you!

Have you heard anything from any contacts you might have directly in Aruba?  Anything about this search?  Or not.

Just that there is actually some recent activity.  I've always wondered about the Spanish Lagoon area.....

Also, good memory Anna about the negative filter work on those bag pictures....

Yep, you were fooling with those before anyone else really noticed them all that much.  Now I did help try to find things in the weirdos apartmment in Thailand like a dope, haha, but you were reversing that soon as it was found.

[Sleuth]

I am really calling it a night now.  Goodnight all..

[Anna]

You also used to do us little summaries that were great.  I guess these days it would be one sentence.  Maybe one phrase.  

[Anna]

Me, too!

Think everyone else is gone anyway.

Goodnight if any monkeys are still here!

Yeah, Martin, or Marten - I can't remember the proper spelling just now.   The Natalee Holloway story showing on his TV.  

Bye now.

[Sleuth]

Sorry for blowing the margins..

I think I have about 650 of those summaries..

Convention and Visitor Bureau Association Continues Support

Aruba Hotel and Tourism Association:

It is with regret and disappointment that I saw Alabama Governor Bob Riley’s decision to call for a travel boycott to Aruba as a pressure tactic to hasten the Natalee Holloway investigation. I am also disappointed by similar expressions by Dr. Phil McGraw in his popular TV show.

Travel boycotts are harmful policies not only for the tourism industry, but for all world economies, creating a dangerous precedent for others in the future to haphazardly duplicate. In Aruba’s case, where 70 percent of the economy is tourism based, this suggested boycott –if extended further–would only harm thousands of law abiding tourism employees and companies that, from all accounts, have gone out of their way to assist the family and authorities in the search for the missing young lady. Fortunately, as I understand it, the U.S. State Department is not involved in this governor’s decision, and by inference, does not condone this boycott practice either.

Everyone in the world has felt empathy and sadness for this young girl’s family, and we all hope for a resolution soon. In Aruba we have seen the extraordinary efforts that even ordinary citizens have undertaken to help solve this case, including multiple volunteer search teams. I know that the Dutch and Aruban authorities continue to work faithfully with our own Federal Bureau of Investigation to find Miss Holloway.

I have read with interest several major Alabama city newspapers opposing the governor’s boycott decision, and can only hope that the people of Alabama and the United States in general, though sad about the tragic disappearance of their young compatriot, will also recognize the flawed and unreasonable rationale for this boycott issuance.

In short, please know that your peers in the destination marketing profession are sympathetic to your plight and have strong faith that Aruba will continue steadfastly with the investigation until Miss Holloway’s case is resolved, and ultimately, preserve its longstanding reputation as a safe and peaceful island.

Best regards,

I went to the FP to read and was just swinging back by already signed out but that's it!!

The one in the middle, lighten and it is almost identical to the one n NE.  I knew you did that, Sleuth,     I even remember discussion at the time about it as well.

Thanks for finding that.  And good to know I do remember and am not imagining things for sometimes I wonder.

Ok, ya conconvinced me.

Now was that sign directed at SM?

Absolutely, IMO.  It said "Monkeys Rule" but was crossed out...as in Monkeys Rule, Not

Not exactly the traditional 'Not' sign.

I know! The ijit didn't get it right!

I noticed that CharlieRat of RU is in Aruba through Wednesday..

Link

Charlie is seen here with his internet bulletin board friends, at the Waterfront Crabhouse in town where he experienced some Aruban hospitality and deliciously fresh coconut crusted mahi mahi, chased by a to-live-for key lime pie.

Charlie whose internet BB handle is Charlie Rat, is active on www .visitaruba.com and www .aruba.com answering questions about the island and being helpful in general. His patriotism was sparked, he admits last year when Aruba’s name was smeared in the international media. He was one of the island’s loudest and most-active defenders.

Which one is da rat~ bearded guy or other one?

[Peaches]

Good morning.

Cold here.  I hate that.
