Hey, thanks for all the kind words!
I'm heading to Djibouti, should be an "interesting" adventure.
I'm being told I will have Internet access, do I'll keep in touch. Sorry I've been absent lately, just MANY things on work & family fronts to take care of before leaving.

There are pirates....and much more dangerous things originating across the small waterway

Thanks
