How to Avoid Gillian in Europe

This is where I'll be and when. You're welcome to let others know (they need to run, too!). More details will be forthcoming as I get them, but there are a few of you who might want to know that I'll be near them. I do believe, for instance, that I have a Barley Hall promise that may be able to finally be kept!

AUGUST

7 London
14 -18 Loncon
19 train and ferry ride to Dublin - company very welcome
19-21 Dublin and environs (Newgrange!)
22 -24 Shamrokon
25 Dublin to Vienna
26 Vienna to Zagreb
26-31 Croatia (including Liburnicon)

SEPTEMBER

1 Zagreb to St Ives
2 St Ives
3-5 Cambridge
5-8 York and FantasyCon
8 York to Helsinki (via Manchester)
9-14 Finland
14 Helsinki to London with an overnight at exotic Gatwick - I would be very happy to have a final dinner with friends, if friends can reach exotic Gatwick

I have managed to fit four SF cons into this period. I'm a bit in awe of this. Conflux covers Day of Atonement this year*, so the most time I can spend there is (transport permitting) a day and a half, so I'll miss my local friends but will get a lovely amount of time with friends from more exotic places (like Gatwick).


The details of Croatia and Finland and my one day in Austria are still being finalised. I'm free to meet people in Dublin prior to Shamrokon and to be a tourist. I want to see Barley Hall again when I'm in York, and FantasyCon is close to the station and central York, so I can see other people do other things (it doesn't have to all be about the con, for, at this moment, I appear to have no GUFFish duties).
