Anyone out there wishing to share their memories?
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Usual Muddle!
I was wondering "Why on Earth?" shift to Oman. Apparently, (From articles, anyway), not.

Seems to be political... military presence in area, stuff.
Hardly think it would be popular with Troops... laws and possible target for Jihadists.
