RE: MY FLIGHT FAILED
Wow, such a huge comment. Thanks for sharing! You were in Lybia, what did you do there? Not a safest place, I guess. I'm glad that everything went well for you, Peter. I think that after flying on an old malfunctioning plane, of course you don't worry about it at all :)
Hi, Libya was not so bad before the wars. American sanctions were difficult for the locals and entry had to be done by road. The locals were very friendly. Not many were educated but those that were had amazing education levels.
Funny we were not really supposed to be there but the oil fields were full of American engineers. Ameracan passport holders got twice as much money as everyone else.
I was there commissioning a new installation for the local power station.
I sometimes look on Google earth at the installation. It does not look like it did when I was there. Years to build and moments to destroy.

Oh, well, you are working in oil industry? My brother is a specialist too, but mostly he travels in Russia. Once he was in Serbia and Kazakhstan. What US state are you from?
I went to Russia once, quite a long time ago. I was only there a short time (2 Weeks). It was just as communism was failing, very little food, cold -22°C and grey. I am told it is much better now.
I am not from the US I am from the UK, but live on a tiny island in the Med now. When I say tiny I mean tiny, around 9 miles by 5 miles and a population of around 35,000 people if you discount the tourists.
I have gone from driving around 1000 miles a week to thinking 20 miles is a long way.
Usually we walk or cycle everywhere except in the winter when it rains for a month or so.
Which state are you from. I have been to Florida a couple of times on vacation. As we had an agent in the states, there was no reason for us to go.
