Aw - I can imagin how you are feeling GM-at least you are not going this week so weather has time to improve

I echo your thoughts for those who have lost lives and homes and are struggling in the aftermath

I know someone who works (teaching) in Dom Rep - I will let you know if I hear how things are there

Just seen on news the extent of the disaster in Haiti-
estimated 100,000 dead
thousands injured
homes & roads destroyed

Puts our "worries" in perspective

It's awful how much devastation a minutes worth of earthquake can cause. Really does put everything into perspective.
