Platanos, is your tour being cut short due to the disaster in NO or were you already scheduled to return? Just wondering from the wording of the last sentence. I enjoyed that article though. I'm not sure how many of you guys venture over to bimmerforums, but there is a thread over there that has a login to some guys photo journal of the event. He has pictures before and after with captions on each. It was one of the more interesting things to read about Hurricane Katrina that did not turn into arguments about who is to blame.

edit: Here is the link to that thread if anyone is interested. I highly recommend reading each caption.
