GTG somewhere Western Europe?

Something like that, I for one am willing to drive as far as west Germany, France, Luxemburg and the Netherlands, preferably Belgium :).
When further away ... maybe :)
Hopefully I will be back in Europe around 15th - 20th of this month.

Sorry, Filip. But if you're ever in the western United States, I'll be happy GTG.

Spoke with somebody on here who said he tried it once for the same region, got 1 reply!
Guess we europeans are not hard core watch lovers

And by the way we could throw in a visit to one of the biggest specialized watch gatherings around here called 'Rikketik', over 200? stands with dunno how many 1000's of visitors, alas ... :)

I will be in Washington in 2 weeks but only for one day of waiting in the airport

Never shot never hit as we say in Belgium, I tried

Where in Belgium are you?

I went to see some bicycle races there about ten years ago. I stayed in Ghent for a week and saw the Tour of Flanders, Ghent-Wevelgem and Paris-Roubaix. Took a tour of Eddy Merckx's bike factory and met the great man himself. Hung out in Brugge for a day and Paris another day. Did a lot of biking along the canals.

Very friendly people, the Belgians.

Small town of 30 000 inhabitants called Lommel, near the border with Holland.
Used to have a first class soccer team until bad management screwed everything up
Brugge and Gent are nice, especially if you are interested in very old buildings like churches and harbors - water related.

Belgian friendly show me one!
