Hello from halfway around the world.

well almost. I'm actually 11 hours different than my normal time zone at the moment.
As some may know I commited too many crimes in my hometown and had to skip town. Plus I have multipul kidnapping charges on my record as well. I first flew to London, where I was hoping to meet up with Shiney and Binny and Law, but the feds must have wised up to my leaving because my cell phone wouldn't work at all, so I never did get to meet them

Next, I took a train to Leeds, where Komi and Gort hooked me up on some weapons. I would post pictures, but all the security films I stole had nothing but photos of mine and Komi's asses, which really aren't anything I'd like to share.
I decided that London was way too expensive of a hide out (4 dollars for a coke!? FTW) and made my way to Italy and snagged me passage on a ship. I sailed to many ports, St. Tropez, Barcalona, Pompei, Tunis, but decided to head to Rome instead after a week of over priced food and drink (3 dollars for a glass of water!? FTW)
Rome has scary drivers, so I hopped the next plane out of there.
I am now hidden well in Turkey. I send my love to the women of Keenspace and I search high and low for places in this town to hide Kisai in, next time I kidnap her. If all goes well in Turkey, I'll head back to the states and then run the border to Canada.
PS: don't look in the glove box of my car. I can't remember what I put in there...
PSS: Wait, I remember, it was a ham sandwich
PSSS: I'm not sure why I have a ham sandwich in there; I don't like Ham.

You were almost in Malta you ditz! Hell, you circled around it.
PS The Italian in me apologizes for Rome. Even though its our capital, Italy has so much more to offer. Of all the places I've been in Italy, its the one I like the least actually.
PPS I'm getting your sandwich.

There's always Venice! Venice is AWESOME. Only part of Italy I ever saw, though.

Dont worry, you're right, Venice is lovely

My best experiences have been in the mountains. Asiago is where I learnt to ski, beautiful place.

Hope you're having fun on your trip! I lived in Barcelona for a year... how did you like it? And yes, Rome has scary traffic. I feared for my life a few times, but have blocked out most of the scariest memories.

And here I am thinking Asiago is just a cheese.

Although I do think I remember some Roman ruins in the mountains...I think that was in Italy, just over the Swiss border. Hmmmmm. Don't ask me for details, it's been too long.

Well, 2 pounds with an exchange rate of nearly 2 dollars to the pound will get you a 4 dollar coke.

I've now have had real Turkish Delight (actually had it a few weeks ago in Seattle, but this reminded me). I've decided, it's good, but I wouldn't sell my family for a box of it... maybe my sister.

If you can only see one part of Italy, Venice totally seems like the place to visit... especially what with rising sea levels and all...
Mmm Turkish food...

Who cares about rising sea levels? Venice is actively sinking, THATS the problem.
