G, Thanks for that. I feel better knowing that because I have been planning this for awhile and did not like to cancel. Canceling because of men with guns goes against everything I believe in; but worrying my family for weeks at a time is not a palatable idea either. Vacations are supposed to be fun, aren't they? This week I don't feel much like celebrating. Regards, Brian
