Brian, have a safe trip and tell us all about it when you return. We should all try to get on with our lives as quickly as possible. They just had an interview with S&P's chief economist, who was in the building at the time of attack. According to him, the economy is on its very edge and he believes the effect of people staying home and not travelling is to push US into recession. He said that by and large the best we can do is to behave as if it never happened, though he acknowledges that is not possible. The bottom line, you are doing more good for yourself and for the country than if you were staying home. So don't feel guilty. have a safe trip, Sun Tzu

OT Brian, Be careful of altitude sickness in Cuzco. When I went there they told me to spend the first day relaxing. I was young and a weekly market was taking place that I did not want to miss. The result was a splitting headache (although I got some good photographs). In hindsight, I'd listen up when they tell you to relax and drink some coca tea on your first day. By the time you get to Macchu Pichu you will be acclimatized. Good luck getting out of Newark. That may not be easy. Sam
