you misunderstood...I don't think the Dutch are more resilient than French....to quote you...that's just silly. The French side was hit harder than the Dutch side according to all reports i have read and all the pictures i have seen.

and while you seem so sure that club orient will rebuild....it is a very difficult situation. Having multiple owners can complicate it..and we are talking about starting from scratch.

It does not have to be pristine for me to return...i could be dead by that time...but there has to be a place in club orient for me to check in and to stay and to eat.

I feel like you are imagining that i am the debbie downer here and i am not. But i know what i am hearing from good sources.

I WANT it to come back and i want it to come back NOW...I am not giving up on anything....but i am realistic enough to know this is going to take a lot of time and energy and MONEY.

I am planning on returning in April 2019....that's my hope.
