I apologize for using Anglicized place names - I still haven't gotten over my American Exceptionalism.

I'm bringing the computadore along for the expressed purpose of recording every bit of travel minutia in blog form. Pray for its safety, or conversely, pray against the gypsies.

Take care you guys. I'll be in touch from the road, and yes, I will give Toni Kukoc your regards.
