They keep the crime silenced on cruise ships. Nothing surprises me.

With everything that is dumped in the ocean I don’t eat seafood anymore. I used to love conch salad. I would go down to the boat docks and make it right there. I don’t think I would do that anymore. At least if you cook it the germs are killed.

Thank you God for watching over all of us daily.

Make it safe and the tourists will flock to the islands. All of the people that usually go to the Dominica Republic are looking for a new place to go.

Your right! I don’t believe both boys drowned. Why would someone kill them.

It’s all more than coincidence. I wouldn’t go to the Dominican Republic ever again. They seem to be trying to cover it up. Plenty of other beaches.

Scary I hope no one was hurt.

What’s wrong with Jamaica? I can walk down the street there and no one bothers me. They are happy and have available employment. My daughter made a great friend there. They even talk on the phone. It’s not crime free, but nowhere is. Blue Mountain coffee is wonderful. It’s a great export.

Just this morning I was enjoying the looking out the kitchen windows. I began reflecting on Patti and my trips to the Bahamas. I could even feel the breeze and smell the ocean air. We woke early and began our day at the pancake house, boiled fish was my favorite. Then we would just start walking, most of the time with no destination in mind. We might end up at the beach or west end. Everyone was so nice. I have never felt so at peace with life. Kindness was all we ever encountered, what happened. What happened to being a good neighbor. Drugs and alcohol have damaged minds and people have lost their way. Family and friends are the most important thing in life. Simpler times were better. I’m glad I wasn’t born any later in time, I wouldn’t known true happiness. My kids know what happiness is and they live it.

You are absolutely right. They have no hopes or dreams.
