Hi Guys,

My name is Javier and you probably know me as the guy who writes articles for Francesc's peerless "elvisconcerts.com" among other things.
I'm going to Europe on vacation, and for the first time (and probably the last) I'll be on my own in the following cities:

*Berlin
*Paris
*Amsterdam
*Rome
*London


So if you're able to meet up, share a beer, discuss Elvis and perhaps show me the city for a couple of days feel free to PM me.
Rapists refrain.

Thank you all and have a happy new year!
Javi

If you offer bed and breakfast for a couple of days and showing me the city I might consider including it in my itinerary.

Do you realise in the summer...and winter we are invaded by our children and grandchildren, when found home from our many excursions into the lovely Irish countryside. Where you may easily find yourself locked into a pub.

Dublin city has a great many inexpensive Hostels on top of all the places to see and enjoy. Hop on and off tourist buses are regular.

An Irish breakfast is usually Cereals, orange juice, eggs, rashers, sausages, white pudding, black pudding, tomatoes, toast and marmalade, brown bread, and since, Americanisation, mushrooms and french fries or potatoe wedges. AND baked Beans!

IF we are available I would take you for a ride. :-)

I travel a lot but I pay very little, to make a long story short I had to attend a course the whole year to travel to Europe for very little money, otherwise I wouldn't be able to do it.

I hope to visit Philly soon, nice place!

I'm very dissapointed of you, John. It wouldn't be that big a deal to meet me and Colin in London.

You're very disappointed in me? Well tough shit Jav. How do you know what my commitments are? I work all day and until nearer the time I won't know if I'll be available. I did say to someone earlier if I could I would, particularly if it was a weekend, but as its not, it's too early to say what my commitments are with your visit still over a month away. I'm certainly having second thoughts though with you constantly going on about it.

You've been pushing me on this and to be honest I'm getting pissed off with it. It wouldn't be that big a deal? How the fuck do you know Jav? I don't even know what part of London you'll be in or what time you'll be available. Colin's retired, I'm not.

Well, I know that if it was you coming to my country a month from now I would do absolutely all I can to make sure I'd meet you.
And I wanted to bring you a present from Argentina and since I'm leaving in a week, I had to know whether to buy it or not!
There it is, I spoiled my surprise.
I hope you're happy.
You made Elvis cry

Jav, I haven't done all I can because I'm in a situation where I can't commit to doing something a month from now. If I can make it I will, if I can't, I won't. Don't worry about presents, it's nice of you, but not necessary....anyway, I don't think you can bring beef in to the country.

I will buy you the best beef in the world if you ever come to Buenos Aires, I give you my word.
Did I tell you I'm going to see Gerry & the Pacemakers? I've been waiting for 20 years to see Gerry the man!
I hope he does this one

I was Facebook friends with Gerry because I dig his music.
Then I wished him a happy birthday and....... he kicked me out!
Say "hello" from me to him if you meet him.
