I remember after 9-11, I had two trips to MCO in November.

A few days before I left for the first people said to me, "what? you're still going to go to the US after what has happened there?". Err yes of course I was. i could have quite easily cancelled my flights and accomodations for both trips. I didn't, and the USA was appreciative.

Every morning i travelled past a couple of signs on my way to see Mickey and Minnie:

1. 'United We Stand'

2. 'Thanks For Visiting' Florida Tourist Board

Whilst I may not completely agree with the way that Jon worded his intial post, I think some of you are misconstruing his points. English is not and will never be his strong point.

Imagine if everyone thought like the people that i spoke about in the first point, the US would be having real economic problems if the tourism industry disappeared. Especially in places like Florida.

I've never been to Bali, but I'm sure that it will need all the help we can give them at the moment. So lets concentrate our efforts there.

Thanks,
Richard
