Next Eclipse Trip

Some people have now caught the eclipse fever virus and have asked when the next eclipse trip is.

There is an eclipse in Antarctica in November 2003, but the logistics of getting there are enormous and the cost might be too great.
There is a tour going there for $32,000, which is a bit out of the budget range of all except perhaps Mark Shuttleworth.

However, there is a very good eclipse in N Africa, Libya, Turkey and onwards on March 29th 2006.

I have already started making plans to go to Turkey and wondered how many people might be interested in this trip.
You have over 3 years to save up for it.

Please contact me if you may be interested. If we get enough people we can charter our own Jumbo.
