Tough break about the mugging. I've had a lot of weird crap happen to me on the road, but never that. Probably because I dont do much sightseeing if I'm working.
One day I arrived in Bombay, India during the monsoon, and was shocked when Reception at the Taj Mahal Hotel gave me the key to room 666. On the top floor. I gulped hard, and looked at the "number of the beast" on the key as I trudged upstairs. Putting the key in the door, I heard a noise inside. Fully creeped out, I opened the door, and a torrent of water was gushing through a large hole in the ceiling. I quietly closed the door and headed back downstairs for a new room assignment. ::whew::
And about the secrecy, ::makes zipping motion across lips :: mum's the word. I totally understand, and did the same thing.
Have a great flight back from Belgium. Just returned from Aberdeen Scotland on Wednesday, myself.

60 lbs! That's awesome Aviator. You must be at the point where people are really taking notice.
I'm curious to know what that's going to be like. What do you tell people when they ask about it?
I remember a few years ago, I dropped 40 lbs, working out like a maniac, preparing for a racquetball tournament. I felt great and everyone noticed the change in my face and stomach.
How do you feel? You must have a ton of energy back.
As for the switch on the VSG, I still have mixed emotions. I also still have time to change my mind, because I'm self pay. Hmmmm.
The flight home was uneventful and I was thrilled to get a business class seat. As for your hotel, that's quite a story. I've never been to India, but I think that would have freaked my out more than my mugging. My mugging was couple of teenages with knives and me in the wrong alley late at night walking back to my hotel.
60 lbs. That's an inspiration. Keep up the great work.
