Aside from spelling do we not owe the master a ceremony in Greece or Egypt? I for one cannot afford the trip to the states(and would not want to) but to suggest New orleans? Really? Maybe you Americans are all thats left of the Durrell fanbase? To me I have to say forget it. Hold it in Greece for the sake of the Lord! I only wish that we could link more reasonably.
