Several years ago, a group of us did a bicycle tour of Italy including riding in Tuscany and up the hill to San Gimignano. Wine, scenery, beautiful people, great food!! Incredible!

I’m sure you miss him as well. You quoted his post here and it made me think of him.

David Jalali (Dackelone) was an amazing contributor to this forum and really the ultimate BMW car guy. I wish I'd met him along the way but his posts over the years make me feel like I knew him well. His posts and advice about European Delivery are probably what influenced me to do it myself.

I miss his posts. RIP Dackelone.

Yeah, David was a great guy (forum + real world). Infinitely passionate about BMW (instrumental for Bimmerpost's blossoming) and, in general, a kind person in real life.

We enjoyed several trips in the mountains, an environment facilitating to get a good glimpse of how people really are.

From fatal diagnosis of metastasized cancer to hospitalization to coma to death: less than a month. So better enjoy life to the fullest. For, it can be over in the blink of an eye.

Ola! We made it. Uneventful flight. I slept most of it since we had a very short night.

Having our first Mojito. The internet here is not very good but I will try to post some pictures this week.
