So, I put my transit process up on my web site to share. It describes the Pacific to Caribbean direction.

Indeed, it has always been those seeking wealth who were the source of corruption in government. No other depositories of power have ever yet been found, which did not end in converting to their own profit the earnings of those committed to their charge. Thomas Jefferson
