Subject: [Leica] OT: LUGging my Leica to England/Switzerland/Italy in July & August

Yes, I am planning a trip, but don't worry: I don't need any equipment 
advice...it's (almost) all coming, along with whatever film I have left in 
the freezer!  :)  Rather, I'm writing this in case any LUGgers along the 
way would like to meet for a coffee.

I'll be starting with 5 days in the southwest of England and up into Wales 
for my cousin's wedding (the excuse for the trip).  Between my 9 cousins, 6 
aunts and uncles, and 1 wedding, I fear I'll have very little free time, 
but I will be keeping my eyes open for anything remotely Graham-worthy!

After that it's a flight to Zurich for a week in Switzerland; mostly in 
Zurich and Ascona.

Next it'll be by boat and train across/around Lago Maggiore into Italy and 
down to the Cinque Terre.  Then across for a couple of days in Venice, and 
a stop near Lake Como on the way back into Switzerland to hop the Bernina 
Express train up to Chur for a couple of days in the mountains before 
heading back to Zurich and flying home.

Anyone interested in having coffee (or something stronger), please email me 
directly.  Anyone wishing to dispense helpful advice on places to 
stay/eat/visit is also very welcome to chime in.

Yours, in dire need of a trip,
Aaron
