Gede, Jyotirmoy! Jackie, it's lovely to read some background on you, I've read a lot of your posts and seen some of your travel pics too. Sorry to hear you are not well at the moment but good to hear you can manage some voluntary work, you can get a lot out of that. I've considered volunteering out in Thailand before now, but most places seem to charge for the pleasure!

By the way, I'm sure you're used to the "travel fossil" title quite now - it's quite endearing - but if you did want me to change it, I have the power! Perhaps "Travel Forum Guru" would be more apt?
