Paris - Retour

Returned to France New Year's Eve @ 9:00 a.m.

The project is now scheduled for go-live the first week of June.  This opens up further motorcycle trip opportunities while here, both weekend and long distance.  Figuring three to four weeks of post-go-live support puts me into "free to travel" mode about the 1st of July, perfect weather for a final big trip in Europe before returning to the States.  Tentative target: St. Petersburg, Russia.

From Nantes to St. Petersburg via Germany, Poland (Warsaw), Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia is about 2100 Miles.  It will be more given some stops I'd want to make.  Returning via Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Germany to Paris would be approx. 1900 miles on a direct routes.  So...we're talking something like 4500 - 5500 miles.  Nice trip.  Assuming one can get into and through those former soviet-block countries without too many hassles.  Something to begin planning with anyway.

  1. By now, I think you've learned enough about touring Europe that I wouldn't mind following you around if I were to find myself there. But there's still a huge puddle of water in the way, so I guess I'll just stick to fleetering over here.

    Sorry I missed you while you were stateside.

  2. Hey, perhaps if you put a little more air in those tires?
