So Much For Going Back to Jamaica Anytime Soon ....

And it's too bad, because Cheryl and I went there about seven years ago and had an awesome time -- eating jerk chicken, climbing up a beautiful riverbed, etc. But this is just horrible (and scary):

This past January, Gareth Henry fled to Canada. He is only 30, but
13 of his friends in Jamaica had been murdered. He is awaiting a decision on his

keep secrets in a small island society.

It makes Bermuda look almost welcoming ... they weren't planning to kill us if our Rosie cruise stopped there: Just yell at us about how we're ruining our children's lives, etc., etc.
