I’m sure this is tourist-trappy but I did cave tubing in Belize with my wife a few years ago (cruise shore excursion), and we loved it.

suzzler,
Do you really think the name is Warmbler, or is that some auto-correct thing, or what?
Any sympathy I might have for his family is tempered by the fact that they're deplorable pieces of ****, who waited nearly a day to make any comment about Trump talking up his BFF Kim, and when they finally did make a statement, didn't mention Trump at all.

That being said I wouldn't go to NK either but that is one of the few places on earth that is true. Comparing Central America to NK is laughable.
I actually disagree. I consider Central America the most dangerous places I’ve been, on par with South Africa and Brazil. I find people overrate political tensions and underrate organized crime and street crime for some reason.
I’ve been to Kosovo, Ukraine (2015 & 2018), Haiti (4x), Zimbabwe (2010), Russia, Transnistria, Bosnia/Hercegovina, Ethiopia, and Cuba, and generally I consider those places safer from a crime/risk perspective than Central America, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Brazil, and South Africa. Maybe Haiti is more dangerous because there’s very little infrastructure and lack of stability, but much less criminality so it’s hard to balance.
I hesitate to go back to Central America, partly because of the crime and partly because I like Mexico much, much more—it’s a place that’s worth the danger imo.
edit to add: I wouldn’t hesitate before going to NK, and I don’t think I deserve much sympathy if I get killed doing some stupid thing in some dangerous place.
“You know, I don’t know, maybe you know. You know, I’m totally off script right?” Trump said at the outset of his extended speech. “This is how I got elected, by being off script . . . and if we don’t go off script, our country is in big trouble, folks.”
...
“So now they go and morph into, let’s inspect every deal he’s ever done,” Trump complained.
...
“Now Robert Mueller never received a vote and neither did the person who appointed him,” the president said.
...
Few targets were spared in Trump’s wide-ranging speech, which included jabs at various unnamed Republican senators — “Where do these people come from?” — his potential Democratic challengers in 2020 and a swipe at Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome H. Powell.
“We have a gentleman who likes raising interest rates, a gentleman who likes quantitative tightening,” said Trump. “Can you imagine if we left interest rates where they were? If we didn’t do quantitative tightening, taking money out of the market?
...
He also dismissed one prominent argument from Republicans on his recent decision to declare a national emergency to redirect federal funds for his border wall. While GOP lawmakers have argued that his move could set a precedent for future Democratic presidents, Trump argued that the answer to that is for him to be reelected instead.
“They’re gonna do that anyway, folks,” Trump said. “The best way to stop that is for us to win the election.”
...
“When the wind stops blowing, that’s the end of your electric,” Trump said, before launching into an impression. “‘Darling, is the wind blowing today? I’d like to watch television, darling.’”

He means a vote cast by actual Americans, not Senators! Mueller and Rosenstein are part of an unelected deep-state cabal, that's what makes them so dangerous.
