Thank you to Riverkilt, Panache and Livingston for responding to this. Great pictures gentlemen!!! This is one of the things I love about this board.
In all humbleness,
Mike

Not a problem at all, Mike. I have yet to get a chance to go thru and get you more but they will be coming.

Mike, we shall all miss you as well while you are away. I remember Xmas in the Corps and being really homesick for the first time in my life, but that's another story. Merry Christman, my friend.
I send photos later, but McFarkus wins.

I know it's not the same issue but your story reminded of some friends who were in Saudi and their Christmas. Nothing Christmas was allowed to be visible so they put a big paper Christmas tree on the back of their front door. That way, any time the door was open to the public, nothing would be seen.

Funny you should mention a paper Christmas tree, I bought various colors of construction paper today and will be building a tree a decorations for the hotel room. It ought to drive the cleaning staff crazy!
Many, MANY thanks to all of you that have responded..... But I think Cavscout wins the cruelty award by sending the picture of that roast turkey.... Where am I supposed to fill that craving in Hyderabad?
