I will be out of the RFF action for most of the next 144 hours, basking in sunshine in the Caribbean. For the remainder of episode 4, it does not look like I am needed. For episode 5, remember what took place under Napoleon: All roads (or flights in the modern version) lead to Paris. This is particularly true from West Africa, as they seldom go anywhere else in Europe. The route to Florence is through Charles de Gaulle airport.
