    Swedish army knife? You mean Swiss army knife, right?

    this is the Swedish Army knife


    The Sweden -Switzerland mixup is a very common one, in fact when I was at Mt. Sinai in Miami the nurses kept asking me when I was going back to Switzerland, even though I kept telling them I was swedish

    Making friends on a Cuise Ship while kilted is fantastic! Three others showed up in their rented kilts for the first formal night, and they were surprized that I am a full time kilter.

    I have around 350 flix so far, so will have at least two ot three to post

    If anyone is thinking about traveling/cruising kilted, I must tell you that it is great!!!

    The only problem in the cost of logging on!

    One more week to go. Costa Rica today, then three Mexican ports next week. The kilted fun continues.............

    James, I think we're flattered that, in spite of the charges you're incurring to use the internet, you're keeping us posted.

    Par-tee on, man! Sounds like good times.

    Best
