*** Quoting Maurice Kinal from a message to Danny Ceppa ***

MK> You got that right.  Travelling is a real pain these days.

Dudes, ya aint got nothing on my set of travels!  .  Back in
Sasebo ¨obviously now, took from 9am Saturday to 10PM Sunday to get back
(it wasnt that ¨many hours though, we traverse the dateline.

The only 'fun' part was the shinkansen (bullet train) from Fukuoka to
Sasebo.  ¨Those are actually quite nice.  Roomy seats that flip back nicely
and lots of ¨leg room.  There's even a little cart with food and drinks
that are not badly ¨priced and comes by every 30 mins or so.  (grin, no
free stuff like on a plane ¨but a soda was 100 yen which is less than out
in town at a machine).
