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?

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

Just kinda? d;o)

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

Great report no matter what!
