We have traveled a great deal of the world from Europe (east and west) to Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Mexico and Central America.

Guys - I really appreciate the detail in the reports: height of trees, dimensions of turtle sand box, speed of boat, number of outboard motors, etc. These are the kinds of things to which I would also pay attention.
