Planning the route.

How can I resist Dreaming...

This would be a nice route to do in 2017:

I can get the additional motorcycle-insurance, and some cyrillic phrase-book to help me out. But the real questions are "time", "budget" and will I get enough papers accepted to have make it a "business trip".

The last 3 years, I rode the bike around central Europe (link to my OUG-Tour). I really enjoyed it and took lots of trophy-pictures.

Like this one from a UFO in Bulgaria:

And this one over the Alps:

But... I've never been inside Belarus, Россия or Ukraine yet. And with all the political hoo-haa going on and the fake/real/spin news we get these days I really would like to go and see some of those place for myself. Hence this wild idea (probably a few kilometers too far...)

Could I?

Should I?

If not this year then next?

But the plan begins to germ.

Back to work: I have abstracts to write and to submit.

To do any travel, I first need to get papers into 

Riga Dev Days

Oracle User Group Finland (OUGF.fi) 

Serbian Oracle User Group (SrOUG.rs)

Bulgarian Oracle User Group (BgOUG.org)

And several others on my wishlist, such as Portugal, Poland, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia..

Anyway.. back to "real work"

(but I can Dream...)
