Though with the tsunamis it doesn't seem like much of a New Year, but I suppose we shouldn't lose hope for the future. One of my work acquaintances is actually among the missing in Kho Phi Phi Island, he was on holidays there. I remember him telling me how excited he was about his trip.
I was actually planning to stop by Phuket on my way to Italy, scary how fate works. Anyway just wanted to wish you all a Happy New Year, be safe and I'll be back on deck in about a week or so. [img]smile.gif[/img]
