wife and I are planning a trip - figured we've worked long enough and
deserve it.
Planned route is ex Adelaide (South Australia) to Sydney, then Los
Angeles (to catch up with the daughter), then New York, onto London,
then maybe Spain, then Zurich, over to Berlin, then Tokyo, down to
Singapore and then home.
Quite the itinerary.
You must, of course, make it up to the Silicon Valley to visit the
Computer History Museum. In the UK there's Bletchley Park. In Berlin
there's the Deutsches Technikmuseum Berlin (Berlin Technical Museum) with
Zuse machines, including a re-creation of the Z-1. If you end up in Tokyo
after the 17th of July (which seems likely given your itinerary) then you
can catch a working "PDP-1" at the National Science Museum in their
history of video games exhibit.
Have fun!
