Ok, time for me to be honest... I have 2000+ pictures from the trip -- not all taken by me, but 2000 pics nonetheless. It would be near well impossible for me to decide which ones to put up, not to mention the fact I'd use up wayyy to much disk space. So, instead, I've decided to limit it to a few training photos, a few of the most beautiful photos, and the obligatory group shots... and a slight bias towards the point of these pages, mainly myself. :P
