If you just read this page alone (I'm on 73, er, 72. something funny happened there with the numbers) you will find I've been talking about you, Smorgs! How's it going?

Ah yes, I just need the last few kilometres to the hotel or your place
I have an itinerary up to Leave the A44 at junction AS ERWITTE/ANRÃ-CHTE and straight ahead into B55 direction ANRÃ-CHTE, MESCHEDE, LIPPSTADT, [B55] ERWITTE
which I presume takes me pretty near.
I think it takes 2 1/2 hours or 3 from Brussels.


More likely 3 than less :wink:

correction to the above: when leaving the A44 go towards ERWITTE.


The last kilometres I'll tell you personally :wink:

Yes, sweet cowboy, we are meeting in London. That is, if you make it through airport security in Albuquerque and Houston--those cowboy boots and the hair...you are a perfect target for the paranoid.

Have many of you met before?

I've had the pleasure of meeting McTag, KitchenPete and of course the lovely Gautam.

In my opinion, it would be more fun if everyone travelled en masse. It's more exciting. I thought it was going to be sort of a field trip.
And of course, I always travel First class and in some cases Business class.

So, Dys and Diane, I take it that you are ditching us in favor of those scraggly Europeans? <Checking herself, realising her self is European>. I mean, I mean... that's just low!

Hey Dag, if only we were rich! We had planned to stay over in NYC before going on to London, but when we saw the difference between flying from here to Houston and directly on to London, we couldn't justify the New York stop.

How can you call Europeans scraggly??? Yes, you are also European and you are most definitely NOT scraggly. Besides, I really like a sort of scraggliness....er, scruffiness.....um, long hair, jeans and boots and cowboy hattiness. Um, I'll stop now.

Meet and have met the Mctags and Steves a couple of times/year.
Have met c.i., Kitchenpete and (twice) the prince.

(There had been the first 'official' A2K meeting in London more than two years ago.)

It's OK Walter, I've told them to pm when ready; as long as I send by about Wednesday I feel I'll have given them enough time.
So any more latecomers? Smorgs?

OK, Steve and Ros have ordered...

In order to get the very best and smoothest service, the very keen girl in charge at the Quadrato would like a table plan so everything can be served right! Would it offend anyone if I made a table plan???
