I would say how much I envy you Europeans. Taking a whole month off at a time. Here in the States it is a major fight to get two weeks in a row off. Of course, other than school I've had pretty much a two YEAR vaction which I have NOT enjoyed.
But good to have you back on site my friend. NO issues or problems to report. I guess we can close the books on the Flattop and Dreadnaught campaigns now. For those of you who still indulge in those land battleships----my MEOW campaign starts today. Surely you guys have time to squeeze a tank in during the next 7 months. So far I've had a hair over 100 sign up. It'll be a nighmare at the end trying to figure who completed the requiremets.

Hi Guys
Thanks for the warm welcome
As you may recall, my first days of vacations were spent in our club tenth expo. It went well but not the usual success - I guess the crisis also have it's effects on hobbies (first things to cut down), so we have a fair amount of models, good quality and a relatively attendance - considering we had the Football cup final on Sunday - the last day.
A photo report will be released soon, but I will not make a Naval Only Feature, becuase this year there were very few ships (twenty the most).
Venezia was really good and all went smooth as I thought it would. The only setback was the impossibility to visit the Nazario Sauro sub, but then I got a couple of good surprises in the Naval Museum (soon to be released). Got a couple of heavy books to add to my library that will fill a void in the Italian Submarine area
Then a few more days in our sunny beaches here in the southwest coast and... back to work!
I hadn't three weeks of vacations for 15 years or so! The usual is two weeks, plus one, plus one during the year but this year I bet on spending a little more time and I can say that I won my bet, because I really let all the stress get out and fell confortable and confident
It's good to be back with all you guys!
Thanks for keeping the good stearing
