[AT] OT - southern Sweden

Here farming vegetables in California, I would LOVE to come and visit, but
the problem is those 14 hour days and the fact that we pick, pack, ship and
sell every week of the year and there are usually two days per year that I
do not have workers working.... I look forward to having sufficient backup
to be able to take an ACTUAL vacation! Who would have thought that the 235
acres of vegetables and 5 of orchard would lead to this! Also, I need to get
enough repairs and profits taken care of to pay for such a trip. Ah well, I
hope VERY soon.
     When I worked in the Tech business I took one vacation and one
honeymoon trip to Europe. On the first, I visited lots of farms in England
and Germany. On the second I was in the country much of the time even though
my wife might not have chosen all of the spots I wanted to take her.

I'll explain more later about the name but I can say as much as the members
of this list are welcome to visit those cabins or any other facility
whenever they want. And since it would be so nice to meet in person and
you're considered friends it'd free as for any other friend. What are you
waiting for book the the flights.
