[Leica] Lesotho bound

[Tina Manley]

Wow!! That sounds fantastic!  Your choice of SD cards, batteries, chargers,
all connectors and storage sounds great.  I'm sure you will fill them up.

We are headed to Asia and our doctor told us to take probiotic pills with
us.  You might want to consider that.

Have a wonderful trip!!
