Hey Stan if your going to bring a sextant I think I'll leave mine home as I need the space in my bag. But I would like to use yours if that is OK  Swabby Dave

Good to see you are bringing the globe! I was wondering how we would find Hawaii! Now I will be able to sleep at night.

Africa is a bit outdated - some countries on there no longer exist, but we're not going near there, so we should be good.
