That was a good account of all the things you did and the fun you had. Envy you guys really. Longing for the school friends who are in different parts of the world now. I wish we had such an opportunity to spend time with each other without reservations. Respective spouses deserve an applause for putting up with your MOKKAIs ;-) and for days together.

Wish you more such fun.
