A2K in Barcelona 2007 - poll for meeting date

HEY, PLEASE, answer the question I asked a few posts ago re a refining poll on a few dates or just one. All the dates have good reasons behind them, the one has a certain simplicity. See a few posts ago.

(but in the meantime, I'm glad to see all the interest, even though I'm grumpy about the near impossibility of nailing a set of days.)

I answered, darlin. One date would work best... and let D&D pick it. And relax. Rome wasn't built in a day. :wink:

D & D have not to now picked a specific date, well, any more than the rest of us.

CI did.

CJane was all for June, re children and school, but has not answered a few times re a specific date.
I am sympathetic, have waited for dates re those with school date concerns. And now in particular I wonder re Steve, who didn't come up with dates, and I'd like to meet.

CI is the only one with dates on the table, that is, May 21-June 1, centering on the weekend of May 25 to 27 and the dates around that. Memorial Day in the US, but presumably some might want to get to Barcelona mid week before the weekend.
CI also had early April dates, but there was a lot of neg posting re that time.

I'll post tomorrow re pro or con on CI's dates in late May unless I get more, or much more, feedback about not doing that.

Here's an update; I may be on a 14-day cruise from Rio to Barcelona in late March for arrival in Barcelona on April 7. Something might come out of this, but my roomie is looking into reservations tomorrow morning.

Relax, she croaks to O'Bill...

Like to see you gather all us wildebeests in this place for some vaporous time in the future. (I know, you'd just say when and where and f'it. - why can't I catch on to that -- answer, soon.) Well, I'll catch on to that next time, but this an effort to siphon consensus.

Relax? Nobody asked me to throw hours at this and I question my judgement. Still, I think getting together, San Francisco, New York, Boston, London, Toronto, Barcelona is only marvelous. Still, getting it cranked is trying.

osso, Thank you for all the effort to get this thing rolling. I'm sure things will work itself out as we approach the dates in question.

I'll bet it's trying and your efforts are very much appreciated, by all, I am sure.

Only sounds good to me personally, CI, as I like early April - even favor March.
Buncha no's on the thread on that so far as it relates to Easter vacation. I've not been trying to sway anyone in my own direction, not least that I am not certain that I can make the trip, but also since I don't like to be pushy, and more, not pushy re a group (or is that less - groups are easier if you want to be pushy).
My pushiness here is to make some sort of decision that will hold up for all.

Maybe I'll shut up personally for two weeks and see what shows up at the end... well, we'll see tomorrow.

I'm pretty flexible too, so if my dates don't work out for anybody, that's okay too! I can keep myself occupied in Italy for 9 days without any effort.

Well, we have a place, for Meeting One, Barcelona, and we have vying flying dates.

Do we want to pick one to vote on (which) or have a selection, please respond, I say, as things may change as we speak.

It may dawn on some that this is all too early, but not... for another some, who need to plan in advance. For others, it's hilariously early.

In the SF trip, I made reservations and then had to change hotels when CI changed his possible date by a week. Not blaming him, that was one of those long term threads. Still, it worked out much for the better. But it would be nice if we could nail stuff down, or at least signal when things were either nailed or temporary.

All of this reminds me, we never heard from Devries - do I have the name right?) who was on her way to Chicago to meet us and was never heard of since. I liked her, hope she is ok.

CI, did you ever look at my post at the end of page nine? I am trying to figure on giving people one more range of choices or just one, the one that you posted a few hours ago, hah, before this last one.

Look at that if you have a chance, please.

(alternately, I am thinking hari-kiri, re the establishment of when and where.)

And, ai, chihauhau, you are now talking more towards my own inclination, early April, CI, a time sort of zeroed in as a neg by some already. Not me though, sounds great to me.

But I should be factored out, as I don't know that I can go.

Well, let's see when CI will be in Barcelona, however it devolves. He's the one who talks - he, and Dys and Di, - about really going there.

I, for one, think April would be splendid. It's early enough in the year that I'm not that busy. On the other hand; I will more than likely make it regardless if there will be enough confirmed to make it worthwhile (talk Brooklyn into it and I'll be an automatic :wink:).

The May 22 to 28 dates are okay; that gives me two nites in Slovenia before I must catch my flight home to SFO. Depending on dates in Barcelona, I must still find flights from Barcelona to Slovenia, so the two days flex time to find it will be preferable to a one night in Slovenia.

As soon as I find out if others can join me on those dates, May 22 - 28 in Barceolona, I must search the web for flights, and make reservations.

Might be that next year there'll be a budget carrier linking Ljubljana with Barcelona. Until now, you have to fly via Munich (or Vienna).

Walter, I did a rough serach for flights, and you are right; most detours to Germany before the final destination in either direction.

Steve has mentioned he can only go when school is out (could you go in June, Steve?)

I don't think so:

These are the school holidays in Essex - I'm not sure about other UK-counties:

Looking at this again after reading back on the thread, it looks like Steve could go - or at least that school would be out - near the dates CI is talking about - that hadn't clicked for me before (doh!)

So, if CI's window is May 21-29, and Steve could make it during the May holiday, they'd cross paths for a couple of days... if we set the meeting for something like May 25-29. (Friday through Tuesday)

I'm still perplexed on whether to have a vote on three dates (with no Any Times) the 3 being, say, May 25-29, June (when CJ can go), and Oct-Nov (when Dys and Diane will go) --

or, just have a yes/no poll on CI's dates.

Would like to hear from some more people on that.

I'll be in Barcelona on April 8, 9 and 10, leaving on the 11th. Let me know if anybody else will be there on those dates.
