Reminded me of some travels of my younger days: in Paris, no one I  
asked could give me metro/bus/etc directions to the Lafayette  
Escadrille Memorial--never did get to see it. And when I finally  
reached the Le Bourget AF Museum (one metro to the end of the line,  
then several buses, as I recall), the batteries in my camera died  
after three or four shots: had to leave the museum, walk briskly  
about 3/4 of a mile looking for a camera shop (did I mention it was  
Saturday afternoon?) with the proper batteries, walk less briskly  
back to the museum and resume ogling until they closed. At least I  
had enough film. And then there was the pilgrimage to  
Shuttleworth...but that's another story.

I hope you'll write it up for IM just as you wrote it for us   :-))

Arrrrggghhhhh!! You get to go to all the neat places; will you stop  
in Brunei?

Karen (currently finalizing a jaunt up the Mekong from Saigon to the  
Golden Triangle in Thailand: 3 different travel agencies; 4 or 5  
different boats; 4 different airlines...but I get to fly business  
class from Chicago to Bangkok and back)
