An imaginary itinerary that should get me to every country we have a Forum member in. Shouldn't be too hard........

The first leg of the trip is a flight from New York cross the pond. After a quick visit with every film collector in the UK, it's time to head over and say "hei" to Knut in Norway. Onward to Sweden for lunch with Hans L., Stig, David S. and Johan. A quick jaunt over to Finland to meet Seppo and then a long stay in Germany allows me to have a few screenings with Andreas, Eberhard, Juergen, Ralf, Oemer, Josef and Heinz-Juergen. The Netherlands is up next to call on Hans and Pierre. In France I could ride a rollercoaster with Jean-Marc, and then look in on Antoine. While exploring Spain, I'd drop by las casas de Marc, Jorge, and Alejandro. After discussing "filme" with Antonio in Portugal, the next logical step would be a cruise to Italy to chat with Ugo, Maurizio, and Flavio. A quick snack with Heinrich in Austria and then I'm sailing off to Greece, land of Dimitrios, Yanis and George. Time to travel the mere 9528 miles (15334 km) to Australia to pop in on Bobby and Lachlan. I'm sure Trevor in New Zealand would point me in the right direction to Suva, capital of Fiji, and home to Winbert. Maybe then it's a long flight to Canada and Alex before heading back home.

My apologies to anyone I've left out. After I unpack I'll get down to planing the US part of the tour. If I start in Akron, Ohio.........

Nice touch. Wonder how long that would take you. Maybe that's what we should have got Mike Peckham to do on his round the world trip! [Smile]

Sounds great, but don't forget to include stops at Derann, CHC, the film shop in Amsterdam and anywhere else with substantial stocks of Super 8 for sale! Better take a big empty suitcase too. [Wink]
