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.

Yup. It's all a matter of perspective. I suppose I can tolerate some foreigners for 5-6 days. We're not talkin months (year?) like you're doing, in an arm pit.

You only go around once. Hoping to see Timo beauty. Is there a corner of the world that doesn't have a 914 around somewhere? You even managed to find a 993 in Iraq. Seen any teeners?

I'm goin. Can't wait. I'm even going to buy a new digi-cam. I need somethig smaller.

Thanks for the info fiid. Doing Research goes without saying. I'm trying to get into Russia after all. I'm still looking for people with actual experience getting into Russia from Finland. Some of my wife's co-workers have said that it's difficult. One of my co-workers is from the St, Petersburg area and he says that Fins have no trouble (he says part of the area used to belong to them, no surprise there huh?), but foreigners (like me) do. Bit he has no personal experience in recent years and of course it's quite a different experience for him as he is Russian.

Mike, Nathan, any hinys here? It sounds like you guys have actually done it.
