Some of you may know that I traveled to Switzerland last Monday on my way to watch Match 13 on Friday between Italia & Romania.
Just like the cockpit crew, I have a pre-flight check-list…………
• Watch(s) – Check 
• Straps – Check
• Spare camera battery – Check
• Blackberry – Check
• Karma bracelet – Check
• Spare glasses – Check
I decided to start off with the 88 on this new combo!!!
