“The meeting”

Time to see if this trip was worth Watusi’s time….

“Letter of introduction”

Hmmm… maybe not the best first impression….

“Catch me later!”

I guess this is what people mean when they talk about “tourist traps”…

“Trinkets & souvenirs”

Let’s hope Watusi isn’t so easily distracted he misses his appointment!

“A close call”

Whew! Glad that turned out okay! Hopefully Watusi’s trip through the market will be less dangerous…

“Getting his bearings”

Uh oh! Maybe Isla Esmerelda isn’t going to be the peaceful island vacation Watusi had in mind…

“On his own”

As our travelers go their separate ways, it’s time for Watusi to take the sole spotlight for a while…

“???”

Thanks so much for reading in 2009; I really appreciate it. Hope you all have a wonderful 2010 – I know I’m looking forward to it!

“We’re here!”

At last – they made it! Touchdown is next week, then it’s into the heart of the island!

If you celebrate the holiday, I hope you have a merry Christmas; if you don’t, I hope you at least get a couple of days off from work…

“Please ensure your tray tables are in the upright position”

… and that ends the closest thing to decompressed storytelling I’ll probably ever do. And even it had three ongoing stories! Hope you enjoyed this little digression. Next week: land ho!
