I get antsy in an elevator with more than four people.

But ............. Thanks for the warning.

Vist to Brazil during Carnival goes on the list with Hati, Dominican
Republic, Espaniol , places in Mexico, and most of the other South
American countries., along with Iraq Iran and Afganistan.

I Don't go to places where there are big uncontrolable crowds or
hostile people. Limits my travel destinations sometimes but there are
lots of other choices and the relaxation level is great.
