I'll apologize first for sending non-essential messages to the list.
That done, if we keep Mike traveling from country to country long
enough, we'll have enough pois to find almost anything. Since he seems
to like rather warm tropical places, I vote for Grand Kaman, and Jamaica
next.

Since there aren't any maps yet for Mexico, it was very useful to me to
find some user points already recorded for Puerto Vallarta by Rich
Irwin. I have added another 20 points but I have to say we are in such a
nice place, there isn't much incentive to go exploring. I'll be here a
few more days and will probably walk to town and record a bunch of
shops.
