I would first like to reiterate what I'd already said on your *Boracay thread, Alan ... i.e., it's really good to see you back; I'm so pleased you'd such a marvellous time.

Also, wanted to mention the treat it has been to revel in your beautiful pictorial reminders *there - as well as those in each of your excellent 'Cordillera 1, 2 & 3', threads - of a truly memorable vacation.
