So you're going to drive up for the next SNESSUG[/url] meeting, right?
I just looked it up ... Not exactly "down the street" from me.
Oh, what's an hour and a half to two hour round trip when there's SQL Server stuff to learn and networking opportunities?

How fast do you drive ? 2 hours each way to & from the RI border !

Here's a second vote for Montreal, Quebec, Canada (well a bit outside, but that's where I work).

Is it really 4 hours? I was joking when I suggested you drive 2. I sure wouldn't suggest 4.

we don't ride elephants and lions don't wander the streets.

I'm the one with lions wandering nearby - living next to Lord Bath's Longleat house and safari park in rural Wiltshire. It's the south west end of the UK between two of the most beautiful cities - Bath and Salisbury and near to that most boring, expensive tourist magnet Stonehenge 🙂

With our miserable weather I'm jealous of Gail, remembering holidays at this time of year on the South African coast around JBay, PE, Knysna and Tsitsikama and in the Karoo - my son did a school exchange term with a school in Graaf Reinet.

Live near Manchester, UK, work in the city. What can I say about this fine city? Well, it used to be said that the fastest way out of Manchester was a bottle of gin...I think it's improved since then. Well, a little at any rate. 🙂

Nice area - and right next to the Loins of Longleat 😉

Born Compton Basset near Swindon, moved to Padstow, Cornwall then Gibraltar then St Eval, Cornwall then Kinloss in the North of Scotland then Aberdeen Uni then Edinburgh Uni then London. Now Reading, Berkshire & working in the pretty town of Leamington Spa.

I'd give several toes to visit parts of Southern Africa, including Knysna, Windhoek, the Okavango delta.

Windhoek? Why on earth do you want to visit Windhoek? There's desert and ocean there and not much else.

Hundreds of thousands of people visit Stonehenge every year, and there's not much there but a pile of rocks... 😉

For the extraordinary wildlife which ekes out an existence along the shore, where morning fog from the sea condenses on tough grasses providing just enough moisture for them, and the critters, to survive.

So not so much Windhoek as the Namib itself.

Have you been there, Gail? We have a surfeit of excellent wildlife programmes covering the big African critters, but a shortage of those covering the little critters, the ones which do all the real work (bit like programming really). Those in the Namib, and they're sparse, seem to me like real survival heroes.
