Well, drat the luck; we'll just miss each other.

I'll be leaving Chicago for London on 12 September and will be there  
until 17 September, when I sail from Dover to France (Normandy  
beaches); Portugal (hoping to meet up with Pedro and Pedor); Spain  
(Cadiz & Seville); Ceuta; Casablanca; Madiera; Tenerife; Cape Verde  
Islands; Senegal; Gambia; Ghana; Togo; Benin; Namibia; and Cape Town  
(where I hope to meet Doug Anderson).
Yeah, I know–it's tough...but someone's gotta do it.
I'd been watching for this particular cruise itinerary for quite some  
time and managed to snag a cabin nearly a year ago, so I'm really  
looking forward to the voyage.

If I'd known about the Shuttleworth Pageant, I might have added that  
to the trip...too late now. However, I'll be in London if anyone  
wants to come in for supper or something on 13, 14, or 15 September.  
Except for a trip to Stonehenge and that area on 16 September, I've  
left myself essentially unplanned in the UK...must pay homage to 'Old  
Bill' at the IWM, of course.

Contact me off list if you want to arrange a meet...
