EXCERPT

After the show we were all exhausted. We have been on the road and the heat, as I noted, is punishing. But we had one last stop. We turned off the lights on the set, jumped in the car and drove into town with our cameras. We wanted to see the club where Natalee was on May 30 and wanted to see it at the time of the night/morning when she was there. I was stunned. Maybe I am getting old — or am old. I did not like the place at all. The bar is about a block off the main drag and in a not-so-safe looking area to me. The island IS safe... but this block did not leave me feeling safe. Of course the hour — 1 a.m. — never makes me feel safe and the drinking was heavy by that time. We talked to many patrons and taped them for you... you will see that tonight. All the patrons said the club is a great place and that the island is safe. We were harassed a bit by some obnoxious patrons but that would happen outside a bar in the USA. But bottom line, I did not feel safe there and neither did anyone in my group. I hope my husband does not read this blog today because he will yell at me for going there — to a place that I did not find safe — at that hour! If he does read it: I am not going back and I was with a crew of people!

Carlos & Charlies is probably just hostile to Scientologists.

Thanks for the link, Maggie. I enjoyed reading it.

I've been at several Carlos & Charlies in both the Caribbean and on the Pacific side. I believe they are the same everywhere. Loud, crowded........and boy, do they push the drinks! I can understand why some young people would enjoy them. We have taken our teen age granddaughters to a few, but never took our eyes off them. I'm sure we cramped their style, but, tough! We brought the girls home sunburned, but safe.

Isn't C&C a chain throughout the islands and Mexico?

Natalee Holloway a wòrdu asesiná ?

Latest: According to reports from travel agents, many North American and European tourists who booked a vacation to Aruba have switched to other holiday destinations .Yesterday Bill O'Reilly talked to Define from the Russ and Dee Show who is proposing the boycott of Aruba. On the website of the station, visitors can sign a petition online to ban Aruba. When the Aruban community heard of this proposition they became enraged. The local media of Aruba is asking the Aruban community to send e-mails to Define and condemn her proposition. The Arubans know that a successful boycott will hurt the local economy, but they are also certain that a boycott will hurt all the (American) airline companies that fly to Aruba and also the American hotel and fastfood chains that have a prominent presence on the island.

We received the url to one more blog ta belongs to Joran. This is his 3rd blog we have posted so far. We have no idea how many more blogs he has
