Another trip

[Jon Skagfeld]

Keith: You'll probably cross paths with my perambulations in North Carolina.

In 2002, I spent 3 weeks there...military stuff, so I won't bore you with details.

However, if you're going to Charlotte, perhaps you'll find yourself near Raleigh-Durham Airport. Maybe you'll find yourself out by Ashville.

There's a ring road near the capital city. Close to there is a suburb known as Cary.

The locals identify that suburb as "City Awash with Re-located Yankees".

Don't forget that North Carolina is a southern state!!!

You might also run across a local plant known as kudzu. It'll be interesting to read your reaction to this green thingy...(you will see it).

Have a good time in Fiji, and say hello to Gauguin for me. Don't forget to bring Tim Tams to trade with the natives!.

Regards

Yes, I've been warned about that... I'm also practicing adding 'Y'all' to the end of most sentences.

Looking forward to the grits and other culinary delights.

Am in the airport lounge in Melbourne waiting to board the 14 hour flight to LA.

Don't worry I have the rotor buttons with me.

Also have a squad of mad Kiwis to deal with any rogue sheep sent from Yass.

OK, I get your point. Perhaps the convertible may not be the most appropriate mode of transport.

Maybe I'll borrow the carrier from the museum for sightseeing.

Keefy, kidnap your choice of the good looking waitresses on-board, eh?

Greetings from Charlotte. They have mostly been old boliers so far, especially the ones on US Air.

Interestingly (for me) there was an airborne marshall in uniform on board the flight form LAX to Charlotte.
