Thanks again everyone for your continued readership and such nice comments.
flycal312, here's wishing you a great flight out to South Africa in Cathay's First Class. Wherever you go in country should provide you with a wealth of adventure. Have fun!
I just got back from a short trip on the Alaska Marine Highway that at one time I'd planned to do just prior to returning home in early November. As things turned out, I needed to be back home before then, so I took that trip this past weekend. Here are a couple of pictures:
