Well it happened, just like they said it would. We were being careful, but none the less it happened. Laura got mugged. Last night going from the airport to the resturant it happened. We are both safe and nobody was hurt. They didnt take her watch, or her money, her room key or her jewelery, her sneakers, passport or credit cards. They took her bug spray. Yes thats right, bug spray, out of everything that she had in her pockets the went for the bug spray. And they left the cap behind. We have no idea how it happened or really where or when it happened, (we can narrow it down, but dont have a specific time or place) but the fact that they took the bug spray and left the cap in her pocket is really slick. We are both alright, I will repeat that again, WE ARE BOTH FINE AND NOTHING OF VALUE WAS STOLEN. We just cracked up laughing when we found out, because if you think about it, its quite humorous.

bug spray?????
Hi Nicki, I'm really sorry to hear your friend got mugged and happy to hear both of you are ok. Strange they only took bug spray (sure it wasnt Mace -only kidding) with all the other valuables she had with her. Can't they get bug spray there? Its really a shame a few people have to be and do such stupid things. I'm sure most of the population are very nice etc. Just like N.O. where the looters start robbing stores. I can see food,water clothes and the like but TV, computers and the like. What are they going to do with them. Problaby wont be working by they time they can use them Oh well. Maybe Brazil will be safer. Instead of worry about you so much I just decided to pray harder. Dont use as much energy and get more sleep. Take care honey, stay safe - and May God continue you watch over you and all on your ship. Love ya Gramdma

bug spray
Here's my thoughts about the bug spray... They took it instead of the money or any other valuable stuff because they had a life threatening disease against bugs...yep, that's my theory..what do you think?

Too close for comfort
Now that's just a little bit scary. You girls are raising my blood pressure already. Glad to hear everything is alright. I hope you reported this to someone, local authorities or those in charge on the ship. I'm assuming you were pickpocketed, when you say mugged. Oh well, lesson learned, on to Brazil. Take care, stay safe. Love ya, Pops
