... from tomorrow evening (i.e. the evening of the 15th) onwards I won't be here, but on my well deserved holidays. Just with a bike and a tent and no opportunity to go online. I'll be back in 3 weeks (unless I miss my ferry).
If I'm not back by september 6th call the police.

Have a nice time camping. Are you going to somewhere that anybody else here is likely to have heard of? Your reference to a ferry made me start wondering about islands, in either the North Sea or the Baltic...
Thanks to all of you! I'm just about to finish my packing and get all the other stuff done which needs to be done before I leave, maybe I'll have a few minutes time in the evening to have a short look into the fforum or even the gutter.
Simon - I'm going to do a biketour from Southhampton to Harwich just along the coast line with 2 friends of mine. That means this is our plan at least. Maybe we won't do the whole tour, could be that we'll decide to stay at some place for longer or whatever. Will be kind of an adventure trip, the only thing we're already sure of is where and when we'll take the ship. Only gsd knows by now what we'll be doing when we'll have arrived in the UK.
KT - I actually agree with you about the four star hotels, but as gsd unfortunately forgot to send me Mr. Rich, I can't afford anything else.

My idea of vacation is something better than home. Room service, maid service etc. Why spend the money if you aren't getting much better than what you left?
Simon - probably sometime between august 16th and september 5th, sorry, but I don't anymore specific data about my journey other than time of arrival and leaving. It'sreally going to be an adventure journey.
Tracy - Thanks. And I see your point, but well, I just have the urgent need to travel, the farer the better, and I think the best case scenario would that I'm going to have a lot of fun, the worst case scenario would be that I've got a lot of stories to tell afterwards. (At which I can laugh later. Something like 10 years later, or when I tell them to my not even planned grandchildren, but this would be really worst case)
All - I'm off now (and I even didn't have the time to read just today's postings, how much time will I need to catch up when I'm back?)
Bye and take care. See you in 3 weeks.
