I have lots to do on here in the background and trying to get it up in between "freeze-ups" - I have updated the Condo/hotel pages. Also because of the "freeze-ups" during the transfer of the site to the new server there may be blank pages - this was beyond my control and I have found some of them - and have replaced them - PLEASE just kindly drop me an e-mail with the page (coping and pasting the addie out of the IE bar into the e-mail) and I will try and correct as soon as possible - also may missing links or pictures that do not show up.

This is the listing of folders by name & conents within them on the site - I have not listed those with pictures only - only those that have html pages within and are the site pages up on the internet.
