Hello to all T-punkers!
I'm new to the boards. I've not been traveling yet  ...but hopefully next year will get a chance to finally start.
WWM has been trying to get me to join up for a long time. His most recent trip - Syria - OH MY GOD! - finally forced me to join up so I could read his posts.
Anyways, I'm glad to finally be able to travel. I love any type of music (except maybe cry-in-your-beer country & rap).
Hoping to finally get to know all you folks  WWM's been raving about for so long.

About time I stop lurking and say hi!
I live in Perth, have travelled around Australia extensively and yesterday I bought a return ticket to London for my 1st trip overseas. I'm spending about 10 weeks on the road and planning to see London, Barcelona, Marseille or Nice, Paris, Brussels, Brugge, Amsterdam, Hamburg, Berlin, Warsaw, Krakow, Prague, Cesky Krumlov, Munich, Venice, Pisa/Florence/5T, Rome and Athens with a few days in Singapore on the way back sucking down some of those Slings.
It's a massive trip and I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions and I look forward to calling on all your experiences!

Welcome both of you! You'll find these guys to be really darned helpful, and a pretty good group to hang round, to boot...
Between the lot of us, there's probably not a whole lot that you'll run into that they haven't already got some idea about to help you with (and if you do come up with a new one, trust me, they'll be all over it..)

Weclome to the both of you! Gald to see WWM has recruited yet another traveler! 10 weeks in the EU should be great Doc. If either if you have questions feel free to ask and someone will be happy to help.

Thank you all for the great welcome! I've heard about what a great group of folks you are & I see now why WWM's always talking about you.

So, what exactly does WWM say about us?? It had better be all good, otherwise i may be forced to type in capitals, and red text, and....wait for it....use exclamation marks!!!! <---- this is just a glimps of what i can do, you don't want to see the red capital exclamation combo.......right, i think i'm a nerd. I'm outta here.
Oh, and welcome to the boards.

Are you sure you want to know?  No, really, it is nothing but good stuff. Raving over the great community and friendliness of everyone.
