You would have to ask Roger and Ginger about that. They organize these trips.

I enjoyed the video, but would of liked to of seen you display all the gem rough you bought at the end.

[@BOPIESDiamondsFineJewelry]

Thanks. Yes, I would have liked to have shown you everything we all bought, but it was kind of a mad house...we had to package up all the items, separate then by the gem cutter who purchased them, bundle them up for Customs and Roger had coordinate with customs both in the country and then in the US....never really had a chance to line up our whole team and say...OK...put everything you bought onto the table. But YES, I would have loved to have shown all!

In Part 3, the professional appearance of everyone who handled gemstones was cool!
The plants were beautiful too!
