Re: Where are you now?
I was in offices in Longmont, just north of Denver today. We had some serious winds and thunderstorms and we battened down the hatches in the offices until it passed. The we discovered that a TWISTER missed us by about half a mile to the north. Talk about lucky! One dead, many injured and huge property damage....

Eventually at Changi T2 waiting at the gate 1hr30min before the departure of my flight. Back to the office on Monday and then budget preparations to be presented on Friday!! I guess it is going to be another hectic week.

Re: Where are you now?
Landed at 7:55, 25 minutes later than scheduled, due to head-winds of about 250kmph!!!!
Now sitting in the lounge waiting for my connecting flight to Durban.
Next trip will most probably be USA in July, Philippines in August then Macau (China) in October. Watch this space!!

Re: Where are you now?
sitting in the office in Lima, organising oxygen so i can go to one of our mines in the High Andies at 5000m... tomorrow I will go from 50m to 5000m in 5 hours, average rate of accent 0.3m per second, not bad for a diesel;) This is my weekly comute.
