United States

This time next week, I'll be on a plane in the middle of the Pacific on the way to a five month 'holiday' in the US, followed by a three month visit to Costa Rica. So yes, I'm going to be away from ALFA for 8 months, til the begining of next year - you'll have to try and survive without me 
Anyway, my reason for posting here is two fold. First, to let you guys know I'm away and wish ALFA the best of luck for the rest of the year. Secondly, and more importantly (as wishing someone luck never helps much) is to see how many people I can talk into meeting up for lunch/dinner/drinks/a tour around your city/whatever.
From May 1st, to August 18th (look! I am even learning to write dates in US format!) I'll be in NC, staying in coast by Asheville (for those who know where that is).
After that, my plans are a bit more open. At the moment thinking of heading north to New York and Washington DC for maybe ten or so days, then further up the coast a bit, maybe crossing over to Canada for a short bit, if I've got time.
Then early september, diving across the country (not sure what route yet), to the Pacific Coast. Want to try and do the length of the pacific coast, from Washington right down to LA, where I fly out at the end of September.
But like I said, my plans are flexable and will probably change a bit between now and then (influenced a bit by where people are). Would be great to meet up with as many ALFAians as possible on the way. So if you're along that route (or anywhere, for that matter - even if that anywhere is the middle of no where (in the USA)) and want to meet up at some stage, feel free to give a yell! Either below, PM, or email (rotkus@gmail.com).
Will have limited internet access over there (yay for internet cafes), and am planning on buying a cellphone while I'm there, so should be able to keep in contact and update my plans when they become more solid.

Really looking foward to seeing central DC - probably top on my list of things to do (sad, isn't it?).
