We are both going to Tahiti first - got to get ones priorities right! I'm only going to Tahiti to make sure Henry is retiring .......... Having been to Stykkisholmur, Iceland I only have to get to the Azores and Darwin. This sounds like trainspotting... I'll only be in Vienna 2 days. Recent GRL paper. Nature didn't want to publish, but then they ran a news story saying it was a very interesting paper..... Cheers Phil At 13:32 14/03/2008, you wrote: >Hi Mike, >keen to see your results.
