Hawaii is Safe

This letter was mailed to me on May 17th, 2001, several months before Maria and I got married. We still hadn't finalized our honeymoon plans at the time, so of course, a good suggestion never hurts...

Wed.
Adam & Maria-

You shouldn't go to South America on your honeymoon-I was just watching news on TV & the militia in Columbia just kidnapped some more Americans-They have been doing this in parts of South America & it is not safe there-It is not safe in Israel either-
Hawaii is safe-Please don't put yourself in harms way when you're just starting out together!-
Love,
Mom
P.S.-You're supposed to have a tetanus shot every 10 years-when was your last one given? I think I asked you before-
