Yeah... all that Grumman said plus how much cash of US and local currency do
you carry with you for smoothing out problems along the way?

OK, NW_Pilot, I want to be you when I grow up. Unfortunately, I'm 56
already. I envy your spirit of adventure.

Do you speak the languages of the countries you fly to/over? If not,
how much hassle is it to make arrangements and deal with the issues
that frequently occur when flying (mechanical issues, fuel availability
problems, sudden illness like food poisoning)? How about dealing with
law enforcement and government functionaries? I know they can sometimes
be arrogant and power-crazy in some of latin american countries (well,
I guess in this country, too, sometimes...). Have you had any dangerous
encounters?
