Sorry, didn't make it home last night. Which as I'm sure you can figure out is good news and bad news. Good news is I''ll probably be smiling all day. Bad news is I'm sore... but in all the right places. Other bad news is I have to drive her to the airport later today.
OK where am I?

Man, I'm sorry guys I'm WEST of India.
So, no not the PI. But I will tell you I'm on an island and it's an island I have been to while in the Navy. On the phone with my daughter when I replied to that last one.

West, doubling checking my atlas, definitely WEST of the Maldives.
Sunday mornings are family phone calls for me. I really like Skype, being a cheap bastard- .02 calls to the states.

Yes, UP West of India, island country, Asia.
Looking at how far Asia branches west will help you see the right waters.

are you in the Seychelles?
edit: I guess this must be wrong since further searching tells me it is part of Africa, not Asia. new guess: are you in Socotra? ...apparently that is part of Yemen. Last edited by BadNick; 06-22-2008 at 08:31 AM.. Reason: Automerged Doublepost |

No and no.
Guys, take a look in the Persian Gulf for an island nation friendly to the US. Friendly enough to allows us a Navy Support Unit for years, think 5th fleet. It's a small nation, but in a really good location for current events. After this I'll just post a photo and we can move on.
