mphilip28,
I'm glad to hear about your case. I followed it when you first reported it here. I live in the Houston area and was thinking of taking a vacation in South Padre Island last summer. After I heard about your story I changed my plans. Inspite of the happy ending in your case, I don't wish this to happen to me. It is lot of stress to handle and a whole lot of uncertainty! Anyway enjoy your freedom. Best wishes.
