So, with Tom coming to London, dare I suggest a London meet-up for some of
us listees based in the South-East UK ?  I missed the last meet (when Marty
Fink was over here) due to me missing the email about it in a swamp of other
OM stuff.  A chance to get out and take piccies with fellow Zuikoholics ?
Anyone else interested ?  Let me know if it's gonna happen and I'll get some
time off.

OK, off to browse Tom's website now to see what he has on offer :) - how
much space will you have in that baggage, Tom ?!!!

Serious about the meet, though.  I've looked at Sam Shiell's website with
the pics from the last one and it looked like it would have been good.  I
don't have as huge a collection of OM/Zuiko gear to drool over as many
people here, but have an enthusiasm for using the kit I do have !

As to where to visit, I'm not much help there I'm afraid.  I'm not what you
would call "well-travelled", and besides - it depends on what you want from
the trip.  Sum total of my travelling is not much, but I spent a few days in
Amsterdam (fun, lovely city) and in Oslo (think I preferred Oslo to be
honest, but very expensive - especially food & drink - 5GBP for a pint of
Guinness !!).  All these were with work, so not much time for sightseeing or
photo-ops, but as the Amsterdam one was to work on the TV for the Royal
Wedding there a coupla months back I did get some pics of the inside of the
Cathedral in all it's splendour.  If you do go there, walk in the main door,
turn around, and look up at the huge organ pipes (?) above the main entrance
door.  Spectacular.

Well, I've used enough bandwidth for one day !!

Jon

OK, here's the deal.  I have the following schedule.

Leave Orlando on June 4th for London.
45/6/7 in London

Leave London Friday night the 7th for SOMEWHERE.
Leave SOMEWHERE Sunday evening the 9th to fly to Poona, India (yes, Poona).
Leave Poona Tuesday evening the 11th to Singapore.
Leave Singapore Friday evening the 14th to Orlando.

So, the question.  Where is SOMEWHERE?

I tried the very untraditional (Saint Petersburg, Russia), but it is too
far.

I could go traditional (Paris, Rome, Athens, etc.)
I could go a little less traditional (Cairo, Istanbul)

I'd love thoughts and suggestions.

OM kit, of course.

Tom
