No, travel insurance didn't work - oh well.
Shipment has gone. I got enthusiastic and shipped the SDM, the C8 (with stand and wedge), a four inch refractor, my 20x80 binos and a Televue Telepod mount (fitted with Argo Navis). Plus plenty of eyepieces and accessories. Well, five years is a long time! Even then, quite a deal of equipment has gone into storage (four 8" Newtonians included!)
We fly out on Monday. I am sure looking forward to the current 30+ deg temperatures at destination! (given we have shipped all warm clothes apart from a light vest each. And I have had a "summer" haircut some days ago!)
I'll try to check in with you all soon after we get settled.
All the best everyone
Eric
