Off to Montserrat

[Doug G]

I'm off to Montserrat via Antigua. Hopefully back on Tuesday.

Say a prayer for me, as I have to travel on LIAT and SVG.

Life's certainly a beach to you Doug

OK, match this for self deprivation: In Djibouti (week ago now) whilst sitting in the coffee shop of the Kempinski (Friday PM), lady walks over and says "Are you joining the 'swimming with Whale Sharks' excursion tomorrow?" Me: "Whale sharks?! are you kidding?! I'm here to work you know and aim to have several profitable meetings tomorrow (Saturday) - why, what time is the trip and how much?" She "08:00 'till 17:30" $100 USD all in" Me: "Drat!" - So, left hotel on Saturday morning by taxi for meetings (had to hold door shut with elbow, and driver was high on Khat). Got to office - met guy for 10 minutes, left office, went to next office - not available - back to the hotel "Has the Whale Shark trip left yet?" She " yes, 5 minutes ago" Me "Dratttt!". me thinks, tomorrow is Sunday, I'll see the sharks then Phone rings "Hello? We can confirm da meeting tomorrow at 09:00..... all day..... can you take a taxi to the office?" Me "Double Drat!"
