My journey to Europe begins...
« on: November 27, 2007, 07:35:47 PM »
With a little proud, and a lot of effort, its about time i announce that on december the 25th, my journey to Europe begins

I know some of you must think im crazy by visitng Europe during winter, but, the ticket was a gift from my mother to celebrate my 32 birthday so..i couldnt say no...

To make it short, i will be about2 months in Europe, with just my backpack and all my desire of meeting as many places (and fellow Amigans) as possible.

For sure, i will be in Barcelona, Madrid, Paris, south France (not sure wich cities yet, but maybe Carcassonne, Bourdeaux, Nize, Marseille), Belfast, Dublin, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Nottingham, Warsaw, Krakaw, Budapest, Bucarest, Prague, Brno, Zagreb, some parts of Italy (not sure where yet), Zurich, Salzburg, Ljubliana, Belgrade, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Eindhoven and some other cities i have just to decide.

If by any chance, you happen to live in one of those cities, and want to meet one of the few remaining 100% Amiga user from Argentina, share a beer or a cup of tea/chocolate, let me know, PM,. write me an email or something!

Any hints/tips on what to visit, where to stay (chepaest way possible please since my budget will be very short) any other citis i should visit etc etc etc are more than welcome!!!!

I want to meet as many of you as possible!! Make my dream come true please!!

PD: of course, i have some $$$ saved to buy Amiga gear!!!
 :-D  :-D  :-D  :-D

Gracias!

If you go through Belgium (between France and The Netherlands), just visit Brugge, in my opinion the only beautiful city in Belgium, but one of the most beautiful cities in this part of Europe.

@weirdami: your idea -> "You could courier some Amiga items between people on your trip to save them shipping" is AMAZING  and very good! Im actually carrying almost nothing (only mi iPod, a towel, 2 jeans, a couple of sweaters, my underwear clothes, my Palm & my GP2X  :-D ) so c´mon people, if you want me to take one thing to another, dont be shy & contact me!! I dont charge that much!!! :-D  :-D  :-D

@AmiKit: What wrng with Brno? Somebody told me it was a cool place!! Other than Prague, what do you suggest me in Czech Republic??

@voxel: its VERY VERY kind of you for your offering!!!! I have sent you a PM!!!!

@DaMi1: PLEASE!!!! YES!! Lets put up an Amiga meeting and include me!!! I will PM the exact date i will be in Prague!! And Any tips you might give me will be great for me!!!Do you know, by any chance, ExiE? (From Czech Amiga News) Thanks!!!!

@Dfreniche: hola tio! Si el tiempo me da, estare por Sevilla! Te escribire!!!

@ALL: THANKS A LOT people. You are making me feel every day happier & happier. This is for sure THE TRIP of my life...

OF COURSE, i didnt say this before, but i say it now: IF any of YOU are travelling to Argentina (Buenos Aires)... MI CASA ES SU CASA!! (my house is your house!!!)

You are more than welcome at my place!!!!!

Lets keep the Amiga spirit alive & kicking!!
Cant wait until tomorrow!
I will return from Europe with a lot of new friends, a lot of Amiga stuff i buy from you (cheap i hope  :-) ) and with my AOS 4.0!!!
