The question was one of those unexpected knife in the gut moments, when you are reminded of a former existence you shared with a family - who now lives in a parallel universe due to a nasty divorce.

Excellent start to what will no doubt be a wonderful trip! I will live vicariously through your adventures! BTW... I'm pretty much a camping pro... well, not really, but I've done it a lot! XD
