Hi Crew,
Isn't it wonderful how co-operative international human beings can be 
helping each other!

Here we have a lady in Kabul, an aviator in the Netherlands and a bunch of 
guys and gals cheering them to success for a  small delivery into a country 
still operating on 5000 year old mentalities! Quite amazing when all the 
crap is put aside!!  You just have to love the internet when it works in 
this simple fashion.

Great good luck to both of you in the success of the delivery and 
enjoyment... Just a drop or two of water is all that is required. ;-)

With the success of the delivery and we are alerted to the moment, we should 
all raise a glass of whichever liquid one wishes to use in salute to the 
aviator and lady for beating the odds in making a simple request filled. :-)
Love it!

Dr. ted
PS:
The liquid in question is purely for medicinal purpose without question. A 
relaxant of mind and body after a stressful day!
