Ok, tomorrow at 7.20 a.m. pettalk time (which is too early for Barbara standard time) I'll be at Terminal 2 Munich airport to pick up the Chicago correspondents who will start in an hour or so at O'hare airport.

We are really very glad to confirm that our Moldovan correspondent who is responsible for all the countries east from here (Austria -China) could make it possible to come- until Monday afternoon this question was open (Can you believe a recommended letter from Germany to Moldova took 5 (in letters five) weeks????). It was an invitation needed for the visa and I could have walked there in that time.

We say thanks to the German Embassy at Chisinau Vio will arrive 9.45 GMT via Timisoara (can you find out where that is ).

The Scandinavian delegation will arrive at 18.00 GMT Friady evening provided they have their oran!ge streetfighter boarded by that time !

I am nervous and nuts and looking forward and thrilled and excited

Filou and Tigris know there is something happening but have no detailed idea what it could be!
