No country was listed, so i thought it was a tiny caribbean country i had never heard of. it was a gated-off spit of land - with beautiful palm trees and beaches and hammocks. the fence, which i didn't see, kept the 'locals' from mingling with us fat, lazy americans. We discovered (i think that day) that we were actually in Haiti. Royal Caribbean did it's best not to highlight that fact.<br /><br />my pseudo in-laws left for their annual caribbean cruise 2 days after the 7.0 event. i always feel a twinge of jealously when they head off. but not this year. how could i float near Haiti in a boat larger than any building in Vermont, with more food, comfort and luxury than anyone deserves.....ghost of labadeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3021617737719124658.post-62034423122055322712010-01-15T17:36:36.048-05:002010-01-15T17:36:36.048-05:00PS congrats!

A friend at work knew Stephen Huneck pretty well (a fellow doggie person with 7 of her own...a bro and sis of a couple of Stephen's pups). She was very upset by this as well...no matter the manner, death I do not understand.FoodTherapy4Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14300465106733086332noreply@blogger.com
