Lembit,

I'm not sure what ZA means. Zambia? Besides that, you surely hit the nail on
the head. Of all places in the world I would love to visit, Antarctica tops
the list. However, I have heard that it is frightfully expensive to go
there, so that may have to wait for my next contract.

All of this thread has proved most illuminating. At last count, I have
visited 31 countries, and if memory serves, I have about 160 members of the
UN to go. So I'm going to make myself a deal, here and now. On every future
contract that I obtain, I shall visit a nation that I have not yet set foot
on.

For some odd reason, I think that I want to visit St. Petersburg next, after
Cuba. Perhaps it's because I consider Shamil a friend and colleague, and
have even hired him to do some specialized work that I could not do myself.
But first I have to go to Cuba. My romance with Cuba goes back decades. It's
time that I go there. First I have to complete the work on this contract,
then collect the loot, and then I'm off to Havana for two weeks. No silly
tourist places like Varadero for me. I want Havana. I already mentioned
Buena Vista Social Club. That's a big part of the attraction. So also is a
now-Canadian musician named Alex Cuba, who now lives somewhere in British
Columbia, and whose music is wonderful and not even remotely like the
traditional music from the Buena Vista Social Club.
