>45 hours of travel -- yucch!

Ken,

That's one very long journey. Hope you have some stopovers. I thought Hawaii and India lay approx on the same waters? No? ;-)

Be careful out there.

Hi Ken,

Thanks for taking time to respond.
I envy you. Last night was so chilly. We're gonna have snow anytime soon, now.

Hope you can manage eating the right thing. You're out on a limb, there.

Do take care
