back from all points east
 

Hi all,
I'm back from Europe. Had a great time cruising the Lochs of Scotland, and
the English river system. The Trent was fascinating, traveling through
Sherwood Forrest and Nottingham. Nottingham was nice too. Lots of very
friendly people and good food. Scotland was wonderful. The Scots have to be
some of the friendliest people on earth. They like Americans there!

London was big and dirty, much like New York. It was also very expensive,
much like New York. Westminster Abby was magnificent.

Frank, sounds like a great trip. When you get a chance perhaps you
could tell us more details about the cruising. I'd be interested in
things like how you planned out the trip, who you chartered from,
types of boats, travel agents you'd recommend, prices, etc.

Very kewl.

Did you charter one of the barge house boats? I read an article on
them quite a few years ago in "Wooden Boat" magazine and it looked
like a great way to travel around.

I'm like Wayne, a few more details please - sir. :)

Later,

Tom

Debt's so high, I cannot cope,
Even my grandchild has no hope,
Healthcare is only for the rich,
Hey man, ain't that a bitch,

Kerry's a flopper, that may be true,
But Bush don't care a damn for you,
His Rush-nazi buddies, say no fair,
Tax me not and jobs will bear,

35 million lost last year,
Did republicans even shed a tear?
Suffer more, you poor, as long as I profit,
Now we say, Georgie stop it!

Have to put a end to you,
For the good, of the red,white and blue

Nope, since this group doesn't have "binaries" in the name. You can find
some free web host and post a link, though.
