Not late at all JoAnn, just glad you saw the gift you gave me...Thanks for taking the time to read and share your personal perspective!

Maybe just stick to visiting Los Roques in Venezuela...or touristic spots...I don't know what's safe and not anymore. How sad...but regardless, I too have to visit someday. I'd like to introduce it to the boys so they at least know where their mom grew up - for whatever it's worth!

Much love!
