POST 36 – AI CARABBINA LAST POST: Rankings and Best & Worst.

This is the very last post of this, the AI CARABBINA blog. Well done on braving the heat and humidity of 23 islands and 31,679 km to make it here.

In the tradition of Golfco Pictures, the last post ranks all the countries and territories visited and the reasons why, followed by the best and worst of each facet of this epic trip. The rankings and best & worst combines the cruise with the extra travel by me.

I take this opportunity to thank my fellow adventurer, interviewer and cameraman, Nicholas Carabbina Drinias (Bundy) for his patience, toughness and overall job well-done. Anyone that can travel with me and survive can travel with anyone anywhere (except Haiti) !!!
