Whirlybird/khorne,
Thanks for the input. Whirly: I read your journal of your trip to California with great interest and am considering doing something similar myself should at the time it seem as interesting.
I don't really want to fork out on a new headset (although a shiny new DC would be nice) so I think i'll lob mine in my tank of a suitcase. Unfortunately I haven't been anywhere exotic recently so my 'clean' passport shouldn't cause any interest (apart from the photo, perhaps
)! I will arrive early though.
After all this I think i'll have to resurrect this post when I get there and let you know how it went!!
