#MF off to Europe
12 messages in this thread
Howdy all!
FYI, FWIW, I'm going on my semi-annual, long-vacation Monday. Won't be back
until September 19th. Flying to England for about a week, then travelling by
train with a Europass to Amsterdam (Netherlands), Innsbruck (Austria), Brindisi
(Italy), Corfu and other undetermined Greek Islands, then West to Valencia
(Spain) via Italy and France, to Ibetha (Spanish Island), possibly Madrid
(mainland Spain), Paris (France), return to England. I have a maximum of 10
non-contiguous days train travel in a maximum 2 month time frame, but in my
case 4 weeks to do it. Should be a blast – some of the new European trains do
up to 300kph (about 220mph).
I've been promising a trip like this to my wife for about 8 years, and it's
finally happening. I probably won't be on the forum or checking e-mail until I
get back, so if you have any unfinished business with me and it can't wait,
speak up! <g> I'll be on CI$ until tomorrow probably, and then the machines go
back in storage 🙂

Alan,

jealous.

John,
>> I'm soooooo jealous. <<
don't be jealous! You can do it too. You just need the will-power to break away
for a while. The problem with freelancers/contractors (including me in the
past) is their inability to believe that life, their business, and the world
will go on without them for a month or so. I've got past that now, although I
will admit it can hurt business to do this sort of thing, it probably won't be
irreperable damage 🙂

Let's see if something like what you're doing is in the cards for my future:
Possible scenerio to make it happen for me:
IF our government gets the asians and the europeans really pissed off at us in
the trade deficit they will stop sending us new tech toys for me to keep buying
so I can get bored with current toys and look to buying more affordable foriegn
import products like hot tacos from Mexico (NAFTA). Then I could get away for
awhile and not worry about foreclosure while I'm gone. <BG>
Have a great time Martin. When you return R4 should be here waiting for you.
Don,
thanks, mate. We'll work very hard at having a good time <g>. This is my last
logon for some time …..

You're hitting some of my favorite spots. I used to work at the Adambraeu
Brewery in Innsbrueck, so I've got some fond memories (lost a few, too) of the
area. Have a great trip!

Ted,
I'm looking forward to exploring the Innsbruck area. I've never been there
before, but I have been to other areas of Austria and Switzerland. The machines
go into storage after I logoff ….. bye!
Martin

very welcome.

BTW this applies to any other ASofters visiting the Old Country.
Grahame,

excellent! I'll make a point of calling if/when I'm in the neighbourhood which
could be at least twice in the 5 weeks I'm in Europe. Always a pleasure to
visit my fellow asofters, wherever they may hail from 🙂
see you soon,
Martin
Grahame:
I'll be in Londontown the 2nd and 3rd weeks of September. I'll try and ring
you up!
