Title: Leaving on the 8th.
Post by: Blacklord on January 06, 2009, 03:38 PM
Guys,

I'm leaving on the 8th for Mex.

Any issues (can't connect etc) direct to glensl@landover.no-ip.com, he can fix 'stuff'.

Have a safe trip, Lance.  :)

And hopefully, there won't be any 'stuff' to fix.  ;)

I'll blog the entire trip - with lots of photos too.

The blog is here (http://landover.no-ip.com/sydneyferries/forum/index.php?blog=21.0) (it's a blog mod for SMF that I've added to the Ferries of Sydney forum). If you feel the urge to comment, you'll need to register on that forum.

I now get the chance to bore you all brainless for two months :) And post photos that mean nothing to anyone else :)

Yeech.  The longest, non-stop flight I've ever had was 16 hours.  The longest journey was 24 hours, from Manila to Honolulu (3-hour layover there) to San Francisco.

              Those were the bad, old days,

The worst flight I ever endured was Chicago to Saudia Arabia.  It was bad enough that it seemed to take forever.  What was worse was where I ended up...in Saudia Arabia.  :)

I was working in the transportation industry at the time and was involved in a project with the Saudia National Railway.  Somewhere in my junk is a picture of me standing on top of one of their EMD GP40-2 locomotives hooking up some wiring.  In the picture with me was the shop foreman, complete with head scarf and facial hair.  :)

Sounds all very Lawrence of Arabia-like.  ;)

Nah, the blog and those photos give me more incentive to visit Mexico City.  Now if you can find me a Commodore/Amiga club to visit while over there...  :)
