Ben's USA Trip imminent!



Ben Dixon  (BenD@domain.elided) asked me to post this to the digest for
him- 
 "I dont seem to be able to post to the digest at the  moment, and since I
leave for the USA day after tomorrow, I dont have time to sort it out. "

 yep, youre correct - I leave Adelaide, Australia at about 8:30am next
 wednesday morning, and by an interesting quirk in the time zoning, land in
 San Francisco exactly 45 minutes later. (before I reach Sydney, in
 fact...)
 
 Im then going to spend an extremely boring 7 hours waiting around in SF
 International Airport for my travelling companions, who are flying in from
 London.  So if anyone has any suggestions of Amusing Things To Do Whilst
 Stuck In An International Airport, please let me know!
 
 We are staying at the Adelaide Inn, a little euro-style hotel near Union
 Square - at least for the first night.  After that, who knows.  We will be
 picking up the Berlina (yet to come up with a name!) from Marc, probably
 Friday or Saturday.  Ill be contacting him once we arrive and sorting that
 out.
 
 And then off into the Wild Blue Yonder...
 
 My best guess puts us in Seattle in early May.
 
 Once again, if anyone wants a visit from a wayward Aussie on a voyage of
 discovery, send me your contact details and Ill let you know when we will
 be passing your way.
 
 There was some talk of me perhaps writing an article (or a few small
 articles) for Alfa Owner, about (strangely) an Aussie driving around the
 USA in an old Alfa.  I havent heard anything further about this, but I'll
 probably be keeping a journal for my own entertainment later...  maybe Ill
 get someone to post my journal entries to the digest.
 
 if anyone wants to contact me while I am away, I have web-mail:
 dioxin@domain.elided
 
 cheers, and seeyou all soon!
