Our beloved Dan Kimmel

[Genie]

Let's all put the power of positive thinking in place to help our beloved Dan Kimmel as he prepares for a long international flight on Friday the 13th.  Any of you that know Dan and his legendary past know Dan could use our help.

So, on this Friday, January 13th, let's all take a moment for positive thoughts and a safe flight for Dan Kimmel.

Great... now I'm doomed! I actually saved the ocean flight for early Saturday morning - the 14th. Only Miami on the 13th. If I survive the cab ride, the rest should be smooth. Have you ever been in a Miami cab?!? Those guys are all crazy!! All the closest calls I've had have come on Miami highways going to or from the airport!

We will pray for you.

i dunno - if were to have a choice in the matter, plummeting from the sky and hitting water seems slightly less awful than hitting Georgia.

Wise words ...

[Jay-MadWags]

Everything will be fine, just wait and see.  I know Dan will have some nice pictures to post when he gets back.

   Go gettem Dan !!!!

Better video this time too.

MAN!!! It is hard to put the fishing rod down and pick up the camera though!!!

Also this year, I WILL jump on the caiman's back. I'll give the camera to the guide and then... wait a minute, I made Gator Jim promise not to try to catch any of them this year NO MATTER how small he thinks they are!!! So scratch that...

I am going to find an anaconda though... and a monkey... maybe an anteater. I just hope Gi doesn't eat this one. Have you EVER smelled an anteater?!? Yuck!

[Genie]

For god sakes get something on film!

[Mike S.]

Good luck Dan.  Safe travels.  Man you sure did pick the right time to leave Michigan.

Praying for the best for you and a great trip.

Thanks! It is hard to put down the fishing rod but I will somehow find the strength! Now I just need the other anglers to not be camera-shy!

Something didn't work. I didn't make it... Airlines aren't what they used to be. Still trying to work something out. What a headache!
