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.

Hello !! Here I am and all I can say is, Welcome !!!!!

I didnt have time to read all the messages, but when are you coming ?? Was it in mid May ?? That sound good.

It is no problem to visit in Estonia or in Tallinn from Helsinki. It takes about 2 hours if you take the hydrofoil. If that is not fast enough you can take a helicopter. Then it takes only about 20 minutes to fly there. You can leave from Helsinki in one morning and come back in the same day evening. BTDT many times.

You can send PM to me if you like to discuss and know more about Helsinki. I can help you here and we can go and meat couple of othet 914 guy here.

Helsinki and Finland is very easy place for tourists and mid May is very good time to visit here. Most of finnish talk and understand some english and we are usually very helpful here. So, I am sure there is no reason why not to come here. Welcome !!!
