LAUNCH TRAVEL MONTH TO AZERBAIJAN AND ERITREA

  1. Index to Azerbaijan Caucasian Adventure
  2. Preparations for the takeoff and concluding details in Derwood and DC pre-Departure: Melancholy contact at departure which leaves me forlorn at the outset of two international adventures .
  3. Ticketed itineraries for the San Antonio TX visit Oct. 9—12, then on to Denver and Crystal Colorado, Oct 12—20.
  4. The scramble near takeoff time for visas—without even so much as a passport—not yet begun in processing three weeks after cashing the second check for its renewal, now in a last ditch effort to get it by Saturday FedEx delivery for takeoff on Sunday.
  5. The new domain and home page names.
  6. After a “long-running month” and a short-scramble departure rush, Derwood is in beautifully superb condition, I am fit and trim, and I leave with a heavy heart that eclipses my enthusiasm for this two venue/two nation/two adventure trip on a sunny summer afternoon from the Derwood woods.
