Celeste.... Are you leaving the island, Debbie & Robin called & are concerned about the diseases also.... is there any new news of what to expect & what to do. ??? Worried up here in Canada....

Tammy,
Gee tanks, Toots! That means I can scratch one more of you pitbulls off my list...glad Chedd's alright. You are a tenacious lot, I must say! I've got a couple of pertinent questions to ask you when you get time to write; but not here.
When you get a minute...

Larry,

Carter, Mothewr and I left Monday. We are in Mobile, Alabama. You need to read the story about the boatyard. Diseases? The last time I mentioned that, the other folks on this topic chewed me a new butthole. I'll just say that the possibility exists, especially due to the fact that most of the people "to the back" used outhouses. The surge was from the back. Where do you think all that sewage might be now? After hurricane Mitch, Honduras and Guatemala had epidemics. The rain has been coming quite hard since i left, from what I've heard. My son was damn near eaten alive by mosquitos, as well as my mother and myself (way, WAY more than usual). I am going to be careful in what I say from now on and just refer people to Tom and Sari's message that was posted by Marty. After reading that, what more confirmation do you need about the possiblity of health hazards (bodies floating around in the lagoon for a week) and the unavailability of medicines? Even Patty admits that they need cholera medicine, just in case.

I am so sorry for the families of those who lost their lives to this freak of nature. Hard to fathom what they're going through....

Take care, Larry. Keep in touch cphillips001@hotmail.com

Best wishes to all of the friends and family at Iguana Gardens and Barefoot Iguana
PS: Did BarefootSkinny and company really leave the Island Tuesday?

Hey, Emile!

Sandshaker, any idea how to reach my son, Chedd? Is he in Punta Gorda? Has Billy got a working phone yet? Thanks for any info.

Not sure Cap'n......I'll try to find out for you. give me a day or two.
Thanks.

tnx, i'll be watching

Hi Sandshaker,

Ya they are still at the Hideaway..and they plan to stay, they've become great friends with the owners so they want to rent one of the apartments from them and give them a hand fixing it up...they are amazing people! If you can't find them there, they'll be down at the plant...

Good deal! I'll be sure and go visit them.
Two very nice people...and a wonderful asset to this island. I for one am very glad to have them. The Hideaway is a great litlle place with down to earth people....I'm sure they will have happy times there.
