Heh! Rush hour traffic on a sand road is a lot more relaxing. We've had a place on the Caribbean coast of MX for about 15 years, don't live there it is a weekend place. So, I have some idea of the beauty and ease of getting around. Mostly though, I was thinking that islands tend to have lots of rules about plants entering. It's no easy thing to import plant matter here. I am often envious of the many hybrids available NOB (north of the border) and wish I could find named varieties easily. I do get mail here, I live in a large city, but it generally takes a couple of weeks from the US or Canada and if it contained plant matter I doubt it would make it through customs.
It's good to see you here. I am trying to read and post more often here than I did on Dave's.
