Anyway they have now reset my Modem and i have now had to enter a new password! But thank goodness al is now back up and working!
So again Apologies!

Hi Doc
Hope your tour went smoothly far exceeding your expectations and that you bring back many good memories. Next time you will have to include Scotland. So you are from Inverness? did I see somewhere you're a Macdonald? now with my interest in genealogy and a quarter Macdonald myself I can not but wonder will there be an Island connection there, one of my Grand uncles went missing in Africa and another one died in Inverness, Ho Ho Ho! just a thought.
Slainte!
Donald.

Everywhere i went it was so good and people all over too willing to assist in any way!
