I am out of here

Hi everyone i hope this message reaches you all in good health. I am well but not happy with the country of Venezuela. First i will list my concerns and then give you a brief explanation.

(1) The theft of my stuff
(2) State of the economy
(3) No brown sugar
(4) Technical problems
(5) Received a complaint about training.

The theft of my stuff at the airport was a bad sign for me about Venezuela, i know they are items that can be replaced but it's just the principle of it that alerted my six sense.

The state of the economy here is very very bad. When you go to the supermarket you can see they are missing a lot of items on the shelves.

I wanted some brown sugar to brown my chicken for my rice and peas at the weekend, they do not have any brown sugar here ( Those of us who can cook will understand how frustrating that is).

Technical problems i have been having here are caused by the poor installation of the internet, i feel like i'm in the stone age.

The straw that broke the camels back. I received a complaint via my friend who lives in the same apartment block as i do. The residents do not like that i exercise at the rear of the building, in the car park area topless.
That was it for me, i decided then and there, this place is not ready for Don Simon.

I am in the process of moving on to Pananma stand-by for updates on my move. I need some beach action.

Don I don't think I have heard such rubbish in all my life. Your residences have a problem with the fact that you train topless? Make like a tree and leave Don.

I am sure that Panama is more equipped for you. Hope with all of this that you are trying to keep your spirits up and staying focussed. I cannot believe that you are on your last few months of the exciting adventure. Your nieces and nephews can't wait to see you. Anyway, take care love and miss you lots love your lil sis Debs xXx

Hi Claudia i can't stop thinking you were right about this country but as you say it is an experience that i will not forget, the impact on the social structure is very serious. This country cannot touch Colombia.

Muchos besos

Te amo

Hi sis. yeah that was the last straw for me, i thought lets make like a shepard and get the flock outta here. I think Panama is geared more for tourists. Give my nephew and niece a big kiss for me and tell i will be home soon gods willing. Your brother in South America

Claudia i did see some rather large men walking around i bet they were the ones who complained.

Te amo

Don't watch them Mr Simon, haters are an international breed !!! Whats probably happened is the wives/girlfriends have been having a 'coke break' when you've been out there and the partners can't handle it !!! In the words of Mr Bryce its time to say 'Thanks for the jokes, i'm gone' !!!

Don, sorry to hear this part of your adventure was not good.

But onwards to better things we hope.

Dee I agree they were just jealous of the attention Don was attracting with his broad chest lol, bet there are plenty unhappy ladies now he has gone.

I think on the day you leave you should do a MONSTER training session in dem skin tight lycra shorts of yours and buss some heavy beats (the one from your turky leg calf show' would be a good starter......DANGER..!!). When your done do a bow and give them the famous british nelsons column one finger salute and go!!!!!

Don, glad the cousins looked after you, after your experience it maks me wonder if I ever wil visit them in Venezuela, will keep meeting them in New York & Boston for now far safer.

Yes Im back in the UK for now had a wicked hols enjoying the next 3 days off as well and back to work on Monday.

Looking forward to my trip to Grenada in October, yes I have got the travel bug off of you. lol.
