Greatings all; Thanks very much for the advice. I understand some of you may have felt uncomfortable posting and I appreciate your candor. I was so beside my self trying to figure this out that I posted the wrong country <img src="/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />. We went to the Bahamas. In short, glad to be home. I don't want to offend anyone, so I'll leave it at that. Re Guns, I wouldn't even consider bringing a gun to a foreign country. I was speaking of knives for personal defence and "normal" survival equipment. I appologise for the confusion and thanks again for your assistance, Respectfully; Jim
