Just wanted to wish our webmaster Jon a safe trip that he is about to take starting this weekend. Not really going into detail where he is going but I am sure it will be an educational and fun coaster trip. He is even going to see some famous sites along the way along with riding a coaster or two. The you get back and start that brand new job.

Look forward to seeing the pics when you get back or I should say after you get back and start your new Job. Just remember to pinch it at the top now.

Have Fun!

Thanks Dave

There will be lots of education. Education in beer, whiskey, roller coasters, European women, beer, really old buildings, trains, mountains, and oh I almost forgot, beer.

I plan on (key word: PLAN) posting some updates to my website from time to time during the trip, and then of course when I get back there will be trip reports and whatnot.

Travel Safely. Watch out for pickpockets, especially on public transportation.

*STILL* Jealous.

Wow.

Be safe.

[coasterbruh]

sounds like someone is going on a tpr trip...

[Jonathan]

No, I actually like to do things that *don't* involve roller coasters while I'm in other countries. In fact, I will actually see the cities, rather than just the airports and theme parks.

Have a great time Jonathan. Enjoy those old cities as they are truly awesome. On both my trips to Germany I could only scratch the surface of the history there. Bamberg was celebrating 1000 years while on my second trip. Wow, 1000 years and stuff still standing!!
I'm sure you will also enjoy Europa. I was there for the Halloween events and it was pretty cool and decorated to the hilt.
Oh, be aware when watching TV or seeing advertisements...they are NOT politicaly correct as we are in the States.
Be safe and enjoy!!

There are other things than roller coasters? DOES NOT COMPUTE.
