Great oppotunity to go to Finland, Cheap (relatively speaking) Where's Timo Options

[Gint]

Here's the deal. My wife has gone to Finland a couple of times for work. The once parent company (before the big GE buyout) is located there. She is going again in mid May. This time, she's only going with one other co-worker and she's a young, single, self-sufficient loaner type. My wife asked me if I wanted to go this time. It would only cost one $800 plane ticket. Hotel is paid for and I have to eat anyway regardless of where I'm located.

The flip side? I would then only have one week of vacation left for the entire year. And at some point (this year I hope) I will have to make a trip to NorCal to pick up the 914.

Whaddya think?

Where'e Timo? I would have to visit him and check out his beautiful six conversion.

It's a great opportunity, but... she will most likely be working every day, so you're on your own until the evening.

Whats wrong with that?

And while you've been playing all day, she may not want to.

All right, I get the point. It was her idea fer cryin out loud. She already said that we could do some things after she finished up with work. I don't think the work there will be too taxing. And she's been a couple of times already, so she already has some idea for us in the evenings.

Shar's employer kind of dictates the schedule. We would leave on a Saturday, not arrive until Sunday late afternoon (with the time difference), and we were originally supposed to leave Thursday a.m., so there isn't a lot of time. We want to extend it through Friday. After Thursday night, we're entirely on our own dime and it will take into Saturday to get home.

I definitely have my eye on St. Petersburg. It's number one on my list. We're planning on an overnight boat trip (cabin and everything) Thursday night over to Stockholm and then fly out late Friday from there.


And I just found that elusive birth certificate for the passport application. Woohoo!

Thanks guys! I think you talked me into it.
