As hinted at in the most recent topic in this forum, Ronald and I have booked a trip to NL for May 2018. We've now purchased tickets so the hope is that there may be some possiblities of a moot or a couple of moots while we're there.
Current set dates are arrival in Amsterdam on Sunday 6th May and departing Amsterdam on Thursday 31st May.
Nothing else is set in stone, however I'm looking at being in Bratislava either 13 or 14 May for two or three nights to visit my gran. This might be the time for a moot with WG and anyone else who could make it to that lovely (and still relatively cheap) city?
After that probably a week in Malta for a bit of holiday time just me and Ronald. The rest of the time would be spent in NL to spend time with friends and relations. But willing to travel even for an overnighter if it's reasonable to do so in a not too far city such as western Germany or Belgium or northern France etc. This would be best Sunday to Thursday I think. As we only have a couple weekends in NL.
Anyone think they may be able and willing to meet up?

That's great, I'll see how we're fixed.

Coolness.
Where is the rest of everyone else?

I'm open during the holidays, but I'll have to check where exactly in May they are. I can let you know when I'm back at school since I can't seem to login at the moment. Maybe the schoolserver is on holiday as well...?

Probably on holidays too.
I just looked up the public holidays and Ascendion Day is May 10 - a Thursday. So presumably you have atleast that day off. So is the 21st May but I think we'd probably be in Malta during that time.

I doubt if I'll be doing any traveling in the spring. I was thinking of going to Europe in May, but my new condo seems to have sucked up all my available cash.

Houses tend to do that...

Bummer. But on the other hand, you do have a nice new condo!

Our Spring Holiday ends on May 6th this year, so it'll have to be during a weekend for me. (The school planner is miraculously working again) Which weekend exactly doesn't really matter. Ascension Day and the day after are already booked up with family stuff, unfortunately.

I think that we are in Budapest from May 2, until we fly home on May 15.

Could you come to Bratislava May 13 or 14, WG? Are you flying home out of Budapest? Mari, I'll see about a weekend. Because we only have two I need to prioritise the fam. But since Ascension falls while we are there, we may be able to meet up with the grandparents over those two days and do something the Saturday or Sunday. Or on the final weekend, depending again on other potential plans. I think one day or half day could be given up from the weekend

Hahaha, don't make too much of a fuss on my account. Meeting up would be great, but of course family and friends go first. And then there's the travelling for both of us. I live in a beautiful part of the Netherlands, but not the easiest accesible from the big cities.

Well I just booked our flight from Amsterdam to Vienna. KLM website is horrendous. Took forever and practically killed my laptop! But we will be arriving on Monday the 14h and going from there by bus to Bratislava. I also booked a flight from Vienna to Malta and back to Amsterdam on the 25th May.

Could you come to Bratislava May 13 or 14, WG? Are you flying home out of Budapest? Yes, we are flying out of Budapest. Early on the morning of May 14. So, May 13 and 14 are both out. I think May 12 may be doable. Earlier that week is all possible, as well.

Looks like we'll miss each other then, which is a shame! We will be in NL at that time and with the grandparents. So close. We'll just have to wave instead.

When will you be in NL, RB?
|

Post by raspberrybullets on Mar 27, 2018 9:36:43 GMT
May 6-13 and May 25-31. The rest of the time we'll be travelling around elsewhere. Though we now have plans to visit Ronald's grandparents on 11/12 May.

RB, I just noticed that we will be at the airport in Amsterdam on the same day --May 6! I'll be arriving from Montreal at 7:35 am. I have a stopover of 2 hours and 45 minutes on my way to Vilnius. When does your flight get in?

Post by raspberrybullets on Mar 27, 2018 21:52:48 GMT
Wow what a close miss! We're supposed to land at 1:15pm. You'll be gone by then. It's almost like a comedic sketch. 3 EFers all missing each other by that much while travelling on the other side of the world.

Close, but no cigar! Too bad!

Just to complete it, I'll arrive in Amsterdam on May 6 at 10:10 and leave at 13:10.

That is seriously weird...

Yeah, JoeP could rush to see the good Farther off to Vilnius, but he'd miss being seen off by rasp by just a few minutes.
For some reason, it reminds me of a Elizabeth MacPherson mystery novel by Sharyn McCrumb, Missing Susan.

Just to clarify, I haven't booked anything yet, I just thought that would be appropriate.

Has any mootage been planned for NL such as on the weekend of 12-13?
Of course the real Europe Moot May 2018 is in Helsinki on Fri 18th, but we could have a warmup.
