[JSmith1805@xxxxxxx]

On the 1st of nov 11VAC trailers including my wife and I left McAllen Texas 
for a month long caravan to Belize and return The 1st international VAC 
caravan. 62 miles into the manual transmission in my Dodge,Cummings.broke it 
was impossible to get it repaired so that we could continue. Neediess to say 
we were heart broken we had planned and repaired for this trip for a very 
long time.
The rest of the convoy continued on and my friend in Belize where we were to 
spend most of our time camping e mailed me to let me know that everyone 
arrived safely. I was very happy for them.
They arrived back in Texas on the 1st of Dec. I had hoped to receive an e 
mail,a phone call or a letter from some of them to tell me about the 
trip,good,bad, or indifferent. I do not have the words to express my 
disappointment that I have not received a word from anybody not one word. In 
my 73years I have had many disappointments this ranks among my greatest
I now know the meaning of (out of sight out of mind.) I thought there was 
some camaraderie developing in the several days we were in the staging 
area.........
I was not overly suprised that I heard nothing from the tour director as he 
had receive his money for our unit and was of no help getting us out of 
Mexico we were on our own. he did help us into a village where a mechanic 
looked at it. the tour company's purpose is to make a profit and when we 
dropped out he had one less unit to baby sit
If I ever get up enough nerve to try to trail it again I will never join 
another caravan as I know that if I experience another breakdown I will be 
abandoned. I am revulating the merit of belonging to theVAC.and theWBCCI.
In spite of every thing I truly hope the other people on the caravan had t 
wonderful time
