Great info Dom - I'll def keep it up front for next year or possibly '09 ($ dependant)

I never chased the dollar at work, meaning I had options to move to other areas in the factory for larger raises but the team that I have working for me is awesome and they have had their share of managers using them as stepping stones for their own benefit rather than taking a keen interest in developing the area into a process that makes Japan nervous (that's my braggin rights exercised) while still protecting a living wage for our guys - in retrospect, I should have wrenched the company for more money, which I now must do, but I sleep well at night and when the schit hits the fan my team and i stand together and defend our jobs with the data and with gret pride.

Wow - I gotta get offa my soapbox...sorry.....

Anyways - Sounds to me like you're somewhere near Costa Maya or majahaul (sp?) - and those ARE very beautiful areas. Belize is absolutely awesome - I'd never seen crystal clear, blue, sweetwater in a river before. We hiked one of the forest rivers and the insects, animals and plants were like a walk through a discovery channel episode. Breath-taking -

One day I'll be a little richer and a lot smarter - It's all good - It was the people that saved this vacation from being a bust. I still recall the open smiles and genuine interest in my comfort to the best of their abilities.

Oh...and one last thing - I love non-american beaches......BOOBS!!!!!
