david and i were both in a safe enough condition to undertake the flight back over the pond , i had given david the choice of going back to england , but after a chat with caroline and cindy he decided to take up my offer of returning to my hotel/hospital , only this time as a patient , where his girls could put in some serious sun worshiping time , mind you charlie was the real winner out of all this ; he was being paid top dollar , as they say on this side of the oggin ( another quaint old nautical expression ) , but he was looking after the wrong person .
