I'm glad to hear that everything has finally come together. Personally, I
would have preferred to have resolved most of the issues *before* leaving
on such a long trip, but later is much better than never!

P.S. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but every time that I've posted
a trip log like this where I commented on how well things were working,
things rapidly went to hell! :-) Best of luck and don't get complacent!
