Someone posted people in Ala were threatened via email,,I don't know any more than that.
Sloot I think got involved in something unfortunate with Nat, what I don't know. But Aruba has been sort of a hot bed for crime, drug running, etc. And no coffee or cigs are produced on Aruba, they smuggle I guess. Read that long post on Aruba upthread, it sort of explains it, the atmosphere better than I can.
Having been to Aruba...let me say it's not all it's cracked up to be. There are plenty of more beautiful beach places to vacation at in the Caribbean or right here in the USA.
Do you still have that link you posted earlier? If so could you post it again. I'd like to add it to the 'update'.
Thanks
