Hi Rose,

Completely forgot the map for you. I am so sorry. Will get it out tomorrow.

Aruba was GREAT!! Being in the trade winds it never felt hot at all. The snorkeling was great and the best part was happy hour. We stayed at the first major hotel you come to which was the Wyndam. Every day starting around 3:30 we would walk the rest to the other hotels, all of which had long piers out to bars at the end. They had staggered happy hours so that we would have a couple at one then mosey on to the next right up to sunset. Aruba is one of the places where when the sun sets, right as it disappears into the water you see a quick flash of green. By this time we were lucky to stagger back to our hotel. Golf, food all were great and even casinos for the gamblers out there.

BTW for me long term investing is 5 years minimum unless the fundamentals change. that is the only time I would consider selling a core position. That means I fully expect to be holding QCOM, NTAP, JDSU, ITWO, SEBL, SNDK, PMCS, and most likely CREE and GMST, five years from now. I may add a couple and possibly delete a couple but if I do drop one, something major is looming to displace that company.

Look forward to meeting you and the other Porchers,

Joel
