Next time, you should do as the people in comp.sys.sinclair sometimes say: 
"I'll get my (rain) coat". :-D

Out of curiosity, is a rental car completely out of the picture both cost 
and time wise? I would suppose the major rental companies would let you drop 
off a car at a "foreign" place instead of where you picked it up. Trains and 
buses are better from a collective exhaust point of view but if the time 
tables are incompatible, a car sometimes is the only choice.

Anyway, with the number of retro computing events being held these days 
finally there is plenty of choice which one(s) you can attend. I understand 
if some are more exciting than others, but surely the total number of events 
around the world has multiplied many-fold in the last 2-3 years. Thanks to 
low cost airlines, sometimes even people from abroad can come without 
spending the whole vacation budget. This year I'll start with Germany, 
perhaps next year I'll have the opportunity to visit some UK show.

Best regards
