[PSUBS-MAILIST] Euro Subs

[Alan]

Thanks Hank,
I was originally planning to go straight to conference from West to East but
due to a savings on dental work of about $3 - 4,000 in Thailand, ended up
Going via Europe. Hope I find some more subs on the way. I 'm sure I will get 
Bored with old buildings soon.
