Comments: Gents, it's almost time and I can't wait to see what you find on your travels - from the big hitters to the small publishers and everything in between.
Have a wonderful week. I will live vicariously through you here. So much better than watching live stream and edited vids from influencers.
Cheers.

Comments: Wow!! Three decades... and you don't look a day older!
Looking forward, as always, to your reports.
Unless my pension plan makes an unexpected leap up in value, there is no way for me to afford overseas trips, so I will continue to enjoy "virtually" with your aid.

Unfortunately, I can't be there in person this year, but will be reading your reports to fill the void!
