Sounds good to me. Just include time for trips to other places. There's more to the world than one small island. There are many small islands.

Update on the Brazilian haste: "criminals looted more money than initially assumed in a recent bank robbery" Isn't taht nice, TJ? It is the government that has to replace the cash and the tax payers will foot the bill. Why not just say: It was 6 million more!! Now is 71 million! The managers of the looting had to engage some specialists to carry out the job. Those were already slated to the abattoir. They knew that they'd screw up and ended up in jail. The guys who were perhaps specialized in the engineering bit of the job just went out and bought lots of cars a few days after the looting and shipped them to the state they came from. Now the police is folloing a dead track while the clever guys make away with the looting. Brazilian bank looted more money than assumed in biggest robbery The Central Bank of Brazil said Friday criminals looted more money than initially assumed in a recent bank robbery, the biggest ever in the country's history. One of its branches lost 71.7 million US dollars, rather than the initially estimated 65.2 million dollars, the authorities of Central bank said in its latest report. Last Saturday, a criminal ring, after digging an 80-meter tunnel,stormed the vault of the Central Bank branch in the northeastern city of Fortaleza. Police say they have since identified seven suspects and recovered 1.3 million dollars. They have also seized several vehicles used by the criminals following the robbery and found part of the robbed money, police said. The case may involve a Central Bank official judging from the precise information acquired by the robbers, who made a hole through the concrete slate of 1.1 meters in order to get access to the money in the vault, according to investigators. Police also found a house rented by the criminals, who may have dug the tunnel for three months from the house near to the bank's vault.
