A digital camera stolen - with about 75 pics - plus a night in a Peruvian clinic - are not star memories but it was a wonderful holiday all the same. I shall be putting up some stuff about it before long. Good wishes to you all. David --- Grieve not for that which you cannot do but rejoice in that which you can.

What a place! I'm not too sure how to write here about events as well as places - but I think some of them might be of general interest. Any advice? Cheers, David --- Grieve not for that which you cannot do but rejoice in that which you can.

Well not really, but the altitude is a complete shock to the system and your brain can quite figure out what's happening. You could just write some reports and be a little liberal with the headings, or (I know it's after the fact) but maybe create a journal in the travel logs section. It's not used nearly as much on this site and I'm sure it's great for rambling.

It was a stomach ailment that caused a potassium deficiency in my heart and set my machine going. The suggestions should be helpful.

I'm glad you're ok and was able to rise above your medical woes. Take care Misty --- "So many places, so little time" ((*_*)) Reply    Reply with quote    Contact mistybleu   davidx Premium account Joined: Dec 04 Points: 34719 Posts: 440 Posted: 2005-10-03 12:44:00    No offence taken. I certainly took it as jovial as was my reference to cheek. D --- Grieve not for that which you cannot do but rejoice in that which you can.

I, for one, would like to hear more about your (and everyone else's) mishaps. Since these unexpected events befall most of us at one point or another, I think it's a great service to share the particulars and lessons learned, in hopes that it may save some hardship for someone else in the future. Is there already an established place in the forums for such things? What do you think?

I've got 5 invisible reports with the text ready on the site, one on the way and one to come. I'm having problems with photos since my hard disc was replaced, which will end one way or another when a friend returns from holiday and then I'll complete the reports and publish them. Cheers, David --- Grieve not for that which you cannot do but rejoice in that which you can. Reply    Reply with quote    Contact davidx   Page: 1 2
