European get-together

**andrew** · 01-25-2014, 12:13 AM

Hi all
I'm planning a holiday to Europe this year. Still working it out but I'm wondering if any of our European members would think about a get-together somewhere - maybe Munich? Berlin? Lyon? Wherever? I may be doing a lot of idle traveling in Europe this year so if you can't make it to a group get-together I'd like to visit you and say hi.

Like I said, I'm only working on plans at the moment. I may be travelling in a camper van so timing and location will probably not be an issue.

Anyway, just asking to see if anyone is interested, able to travel etc etc.

Oh wait I didn't say when

I'm thinking June/July/August

I'd like to go

if we could get Phil to fuel up the jets, we call all travel around together.

can we make a forum meeting in Europe ? who can come ?
for me Europe is relatively possible

for others ?
how much time it takes from other continents ?
can we afford it, considering health and money ?

am I just dreaming ?

How about a specific time to. Skype or google plus everyone together at once. A virtual European meeting, that is of you'll let us other side of the pond-ers attend?

I"m going to Mildenhall, UK in April and maybe in July. I know that's not your course, but I was wondering about the camper van. Are you renting one? I've driven a lot in Germany, France, Italy, but I've never tackled driving on the other side in England. I guess England would be more natural for you, though. Anyway, what are you finding for rental prices?

That's an excellent idea

Well worth pursuing. Could make it a regular thing!

Hey mate

I'm thinking of buying a camper and driving around for 3 - 6 months then selling it at the end of the trip. I've driven in France, Switzerland and Italy previously and found that I could handle that fine which removes a lot of the worry this time around

The GPS was a life-saver

If you're in the UK in July I could possibly pop over and meet you!

Have you seen the movie 'Stripes' with Bill Murray?

I can see you (Andrew) buying the biggest, all purpose, all terrain, RV around, and then travelling throughout Europe rescuing the Weggies in each town and village - breaking through the boom gates to bring them back to the biggest Weggie party ever
