I just got back from Cali, yesterday, and it was wonderful to be there and meet so many nice people. The weather was awesome, way better than the -20 we had here. They had a nice record high of like 87 the other day. I was glad to be able to experience it. Everyone seemed so nice and friendly to me while I was there. I met this one guy that was exteremely sweet to me, too. :biggrin:

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
