I hope you bought Euros months ago, when there was still hope for the American Electorate. I know they have the internet over there. We expect some posts. Bon Voyage.

just checking in ...we are se of london at a friends for a few day...went to the lady in white last nite (new webber musical)---interesting but the music was very disappointing....great new scenery methods---all simulation

we are in england mostly (pound at $1.91---ugh) and off next week to germany---the moselle area for a few christmas markets---euro $1.33---ugu, ugh
home on the 13th

great B/A flight over from boston 5 hours, 30 min.....beats bkk

Hi, Bob, I'm just back from my trip (got in a couple of hours ago). Have a great trip. I'll be posting full reports soon.

Don't worry about the plummeting dollar. Family values are way more important than luxurious vacations. Can't wait until you and Karen stay on Khao San Road. That will be quite the trip report.

andy---i got a place on that road for 75 cents per week....do you want to join us? bob

I'd be glad to, if you're paying.

for you i would even pay $1. per week

Hi rhkkmk.

I just returned from 2 1/2 weeks in Europe myself! I was in Germany and Switzerland. The weather certainly was chilly and grey... but the Christmas markets were very festive.

BKK is on the horizon. At this point, we think it will be March. Had hoped for February. Just too busy until then.

I've been waaaaaay too busy on other projects to work on my new web site for about a month. I had hoped to do some selling for Christmas, but that's just a pipe dream at this point.

Enjoy your Europe trip! Those of us who live to travel do not let poor exchange rates...which are awful in Europe right now...keep us at home, right?

Carol

It's great that you're having fun, Bob...although the weather sounds VERY chilly...I guess jackfrost is REALLY nipping at YOUR nose! I'm glad I'm off to Ghana in a few days...to the warm weather that I'm used to!Have a great holiday season and happy holidays from sunny California! Happy Travels!

it was quite cold especially in germany....england is out of control from an expense point of view, plus the exchange rate....i will think twice about my next trip there....i've been over 30 times so i do not need to rush...
its chilly here in new england today but the sun is bright....

With the dollar pegged at $1.3 US per Euro I don't think we will be heading back to Europe anytime soon- will be doing Asia for some years to come I suspect- much more value in Asia!
