700,

Did you get the proper forms done to bring your stuff through Atlanta or are you expempt because you are flying straight through without overnighting there?

Can't wait to hear your stories when you get back.

Not to be negative, but did you buy insurance for your rifles? Airlines will not even begin to cover the loss. Those are toooooo nice to chance. Have a super time.

Please say hello to Graeme and Amber for me. Tell them Mighty Joe says hi, they will know who I am. They are a super couple and I know you will have the time of your life.
