The only reason we left out Sicily, because the initial was 6 countries in 6 days; but as the gentlewoman will recall, when we added Libya, there were requirements on the pilots in that they could not fly a certain amount of time beyond their standard time, so we could not go any farther than Sicily. We had to exit Libya, but we could not go any farther than Sicily, so we stayed overnight and got up the next morning and off we went.
