Great trip. I'll be going back.

WOW! Best roff trip report ever! Very impressive.

Who did you book through, and did that include your arrangements in
Paris (great day there I see), and the capitol of Seychelles?

AnglerAdventures handled Paris to Alphonse and back to Paris. I booked
everything else myself. The connections are terrible, which is why I
stayed overnight in Paris.

When I looked into going last year, the logistics were terrible. I
think I had to spend a night in Paris and another in Nairobi or another
African city, finally arriving on Mahe three days after leaving Boston.
I would have also had to spend a night in Victoria going and coming.
The logistics turned me off completely. However, it is still on my
bucket list.

Don't try to carry a rod on board in Charles de Gaulle (CDG) airport.
Doesn't work. I'll never take my 3-piece Sage RPLXi overseas again. I
was lucky to get it home. Should have sold it to the Alphonse outfit.
Four-piece rods are the only way to go. They fit in the luggage.

Well, hell, that would have been one of the the rods *I* would have
brought. Four or five is the only way, I guess. F&^%$@n french!


Gotts convince the wife to set me free for a couple of weeks.

Very nice report/pics, Steve. I'm jealous.

I'm kinda sorry about the Dave's cortex crack, but it was just sitting there.

Just kinda? d;o)

Don't worry about it. After all, this is roff.

Great report no matter what!
