Good eveninh, Halli: Your post made me a little sad. My wife and I have always loved Roatán in March, and if all goes well we'll be there between the 13th and the 20th of March again this year. Right now, right here on the Wake Forest University campus, there is a lot of tension due to a masked man, carrying a semi-automatic hand gun, breaking into the rooms of young women. Many people are on high alert, and I admit I had this on my mind after dark when I was carrying in the night's wood from the woodpile well in back of our house. Does this mean I am going to stop buring firewood and go back to oil, or perhaps bring the wood in before dark? Probably not, but it does mean I am going to be more careful until this guy is caught. What I am trying to say is if I were you I would go back to Roatan as you have done before, but I would always think twice before I put myself into an "iffy" situation, and I would be extra cautious in isolated areas such as the beach when no one is about. Of course none of this means you won't find yourself someday in trouble...even in a quiet Univeristy community, but thinking ahead just might keep you out of trouble that you might otherwise blissfully wander into. I do hope you will return next month and will have a great vacation...your best ever! All the best...dke http://www.thejudasbird.com http://www.wfu.edu/~dkevans carmgr1 wrote: > Hi! > I have been following the Roatan message board for the past year. > Besides the mention of petty theft I am shocked to have learned about > the recent crimes occurring on Roatan.
