"So the young man that started it all and 4 of his friends as well as their family's will be acompaning me on this trip. I would like to thank you for listening to an old mans selfish request for friends on a long journey. If only I had your youth I would seek to stand on the moon."

"What do you mean, of course I have never been to the moon. I know that I have lived quite the interesting life but I never even tried to go to the space. Don't go and think that I have done everything just because I am old. We old folk tend to have gotten around. We traveled because of our years and in some ways it was easier for us. It did not cost quite so much back in the day."

"I also have never been in a cyclone for your information. But I have gone to a place where there is thunderstorms almost every night, it is called the Maracaibo Lake. I know that it sound weird but it is truely a place in this world!"

"This was my experience there."

When night fell we gathered outside on the deck of the house with some stake and beers to watch the storms. To think that a storm could be so pieceful is weird but oddly true. After watching them for a week constantly you sort of get used to them. The lightning is still awesome even after you get used to it though.

We decided to kick back and watch it late into the night just for the fun of it. To see those beuatiful bolts sunder the heavens and to watch those heavens seal closed before your eyes. It really shows the power of nature in all its Glory.

We jsut sat back and relaxed. Watching the storms that came almost every night. It trully was a pieceful moment for me to unwind after the '...' Well lets not mention such things now. Lets just sit back and relax.
