Ha! the road trips to Europe have not been infrequent in the past, though I haven't been on one since May last year. A new one coming soon as I have friends living over the channel in several countries. Just haven't yet arranged it, although I will be in Italy in November and then on to the Gulf.

I'll post the words of wisdom when I know them, but slightly oversize bullets are certainly suggested by several of you guys, so definitely worth consideration .. when I find some!
So thank you for that.
