I would love to Greg, I would love to. OZ is one of those rare places where
the people are just as interesting as the scenery....so they say.

If I can back Simon's words as an outside observer (and ally) of the US with
a "rider"....be careful you don't get so enamoured with your country's
situation and virtues that you lose sight of what is happening elsewhere.
.....When in the US, I never cease to be amazed at the preoccupation of the
US media with what is happening within the US.....heck, in OZ generally a
little under half our daily news bulletins is concerned with what is
happening around the world. (There's a heap more of different stuff to be
discovered outside of the USA.)
- if you don't believe me, come on over and take a look!

I know, this is highly off topic - but I can't resist:
Another "Reality Check" of how great our Country is.
you are absolutely right, Tom, and I just hope that you would keep it that
way! but I am increasingly worried.
While I second everything you say about aviation, I see it differently for
the rest of the daily life. The "Patriot Act" has turned "the land of the
free" into "the land of the suspect". The TFRs are not merely a nuisance -
they are a symptom. I think you should all remember Ben Franklins wisdom:
"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety
deserve neither liberty nor safety."
Sorry for being blunt; I just happen to love your country too much to shut
up.
Best
Simon
