Pro70z28, NTFDAY, TooMany2count, could you-all please PM me with phone numbers?
We'd purely love to meet up with as many of you as we possibly can, and we will be carrying a cell phone while travelling . . .

I'll also be carrying my lap-top, and intend updating this thread on a daily basis as my personal diary of the trip.
On our last trip I kept my diary up-to-date; but one evening when I was typing it up I realised I had over-typed a letter, clicked on it, and clicked 'delete' just as the hotel system crashed . . . I lost three weeks of entries.
So I intend to keep my diary somewhere else (here) as a back-up.
And if you fellas get to giggle at me from it; then that's all good.

For some reason e-mails from the States don't always come through onto my system, (as I have found out from Meller and one or three others,) so try it if you like, and if I don't acknowledge it I haven't got it!

As you can see; as the comments / suggestions have been forthcoming I have been updating / editing my original itinerary.
