Hello, Betty Jean,
I am from SRI LANKA. It is not that bad to visit Sri Lanka  David can give
the experience from his last visit.
I don't know him personally, but I had contacted on email once, maybe that
he will meet me one day.
We are having a ongoing war in the north and the northeastern parts of the
country. However, the west coast is absolutely safe, now of course it is
the Southwest Monsoon and the sea is very rough and having plenty of rain.
Whatever information and help you need, please do not hesitate to come back
at any time privately.
I am sending a private email, please read.
Regards.
Gunasena de Silva,
SRI LANKA
