Ray,
Thankyou for posting this information. My husband and I are interested in going to the Amazon from Fort Lauderdale, not from San Juan like in 2007. And I always enjoy your posts......keep them coming. Linda |

Mike - In reference to your off-the-wall and usually pointless comments
throughout this newsgroup about so-called advertising, and as mentioned to you a number of time now, this was already discussed before, and in quite some detail. As a clarification though, a 4- line signature statement is indeed allowed, seemingly with Ray Goldenberg setting this standard. Is this considered advertising? I think not! And obviously Ray doesn't as well. Besides, just follow the links... you will find no ads, promotions, nor even price marketing whatsoever within my Website, not even a place to house all these press releases. I know others can't say that once linked to their agency Website.
