Can't commit because summer holiday is a week after and that isn't even finalised yet.

Bloody annoying

Really sorry, Jim I don't expect anyone to drop everything and show up where I will be. I was never planning to come to Europe again, tired of travelling myself (and I hate cramped flying conditions) but this project changed my outlook. There was no long range plan.

Organizing a meeting is always hard and hit and miss. A lot of factors -budgets, travel distance, holidays, jobs, etc-- mean that there never is a date that all can attend.

You've absolutely nothing to apologise for Neal, I know how suddenly events unfolded.

Heck, the previous European Meet (Denmark) clashed with my 25th Wedding anniversary so nothing new there then

Sooner rather than later mate.....sooner rather than later.

Perhaps we should explore a joint venture to Salt Lake some time

@Neal,

How are you getting there? Are you flying or going by ferry/overland? If so, where from?

Driving down from Stockholm, and then... ferry or drive? Which should I do? Last time it was ferry, maybe this time drive via E20 an E45? What do you think?

Yes, Hamburg is your airport. From there is a train to Kiel. I can pick you up at the station.

Hello Neal,
You could drive over to Göteborg. There's a big maritime museum there with a destroyer, Swedish sub and even a monitor, like the ones used in the American civil war. There are other vessels you can go on board too.
From Göteborg you can take a ferry to Frederikshavn and drive through Jutland to Northern Germany. On the way, just off the motorway E45 is a city called Aalborg. There is also a maritime museum there with an old NATO sub and motor torpedo boat.
I don't know if the route is the most practical for you, but it's an option.
And whilst you are in Germany don't forget to stock up on beer, soft drinks and chocolate etc. I think it's a lot cheaper than in Sweden.

@Blitzkrieg
Hello Blitzy
Yeah, been a while.
Don't know if I can go, it's a bit touch and go at the moment. Would love to go but the timing's not good.

That is an awfully kind gesture Neal

I have just taken a look at flights and feel that it may be out of my price range a little (I am used to being able to fly to loads of places in Europe for about £50! Mainly by booking well ahead)

But if my situation cnanges I will let you know

Again - many thanks for the offer
