What I did on my summer vacation.

[Rain Man]

So for those of you who don't ever look at me, I wandered away for a while. A sample of vacation photos will follow.

Don't lie, you spent the whole time creating the new avatar.

I hope you didn't have to sacrifice the cats up there in the woods. How many Ruskies did you take out?

Nude pictures only, if you please, Mr. Rain Man.

Is it just me, or over there on the left, does it look like someone is peeing out the window?

First off, you know it's a long trip when your airplane has to make a fuel stop partway through. They wouldn't let me off the plane, so here's my only photo of Dakar, Senegal.

I was on the second-longest commercial flight in the world - Washington DC to Johannesburg, South Africa. The flight originates in New York, and the New York-Johannesburg route is the longest flight in the world. It was 17 hours on the schedule going out, and 18 coming back due to differences in winds. About an hour is spent on the ground in Dakar refueling.

I thought the flight to New Zealand was the longest in the world. Like 20 something hours.

Maybe that's the longest nonstop flight. I did the San Francisco to Sydney flight about ten years ago, and it was about 15 hours if I remember right. This one was 18 on the way back, but with a stop at about the halfway point.


Oh, and run! (I like this picture.)

I think they all say that, try to keep you from complaining. I think it was 22 hours to Taiwan (bad, bad headwinds)

Really great trip Kevin, too bad DaFace is now in charge of what used to be your company, via a hostile takeover.

Be glad about that. My brother spent a year in Dakar and said it was a real pit.

Great pics Rainman, can't wait for more.

Just to assist you in being proper. The darker africans are callled africans....however the lighter africans are to be referred to as "anglo africans". Hope this helps. All other humans are to be referred to as "tourists".
