Hey Rob, Get a Kawaspaki next time, sacriligious as it sounds. You guys have had a great trip and I only wish I could have been with you. I'll be in the States and Canada June/July with Don and will catch up on our return. Big cheers to Diane, Wim & Rosco and String who may remember me. Good luc kto all for the small remining bit.
