40 posts in 12 years, and this one is clearly a bummer. You're the 2nd TTOLer who has just had a tragic event cancel their island trip.

I share your opinion that this message board furnishes a lot of really interesting stuff. Due to circumstances beyond my control, TTOL is my way to visit the Carribean.

Of course best of luck on the recovery process and hopefully both of you will be able to enjoy the island again before too long. I've heard so many stories about folks getting really messed up by using ladders.
