Hi Jim, yep final plan assuming no disasters.

Not sure there's much we need other than a couple of electric sockets?

I will be uploading photos to my Flickr site late Monday or sometime Tuesday

Can I also say a big WELL DONE to everyone who organised the Meet and the meal at the Chinese. Good company, good food and talk of trains (most of the time) what more could you ask for?
