Urgent call - urgent call - do you read me? Germany Meet-Up Group?

[doenoe]

im still in too, got the tickets paid and reserved.

 

[Antarctican]

And I'm still in. Haven't booked the flight yet, but I'm going on points, and there still seems to be availability. Trying to figure out when to meet with the rellies is being a bit of a problem, which is why the flight isn't booked yet.

There you go, Corinna. Almost all the important people will be turning up mrgreen so don't bother booking anything - we'll play it by ear. I'm sure there will be a good local bar where we can retire to so we can argue and not come to a decision in good old TPF Meet-Up style.

 

[Jeff Canes]

i'll be there too

Jeff, when does your plane land on that Friday, May 23? And where will you arrive again? Also in Hamburg-Fuhlsbüttel? Are you sure you want to rent a car and find your own way here? You might need some help? While it is not impossible to get out of the airport area and onto the right motorway, it is not easy for the ... first-timers.

 

[doenoe]

im sure we can figure things out while being in Germany...its gonna be a blast
And who will arrive in Hamburg by plane on the 24th? Maybe we can go with the same train from the airport to Lafoto's village.

Yep, Friday in Hamburg, I've booked & insured the car, Driving in circles and swearing is a requirement for any trip :mrgreen:, cannot miss out on that

I think Sky said he was coming in to Hamburg late on the 24th.

Sky will arrive late, at only 21:15 hours on that Saturday, 24, so Andreas will go out to the airport and collect him, for else he might miss the last train out here (which leaves at 11 something p.m. but you know how things are - wait for luggage, miss the shuttle bus, wait for the next, go all the way in shuttle bus, try to find the platform in the main railway station ... all unfortunate things can happen and you can easily miss a last train...).

Anty hasn't sorted things with "the rellies" yet, so I still don't know when she'll arrive. She hasn't booked her tickets yet :raisedbrow: ...! But she thought she might arrive in the afternoon. Maybe. Who knows!?

 

[LaFoto]

Chris and Ann-Marie might arrive at Hamburg-Fuhlsbüttel Airport, too? When? Did Chris mention a time? I don't remember.

Jeff, I PM you with directions, ok?

 

[Antarctican]

I think Chris said his flight arrived at 11:40 am. I remember, because if I fly in on the 24th mine arrives around the same time. I may fly in on a different day now, though.

 

[Chris of Arabia]

I said...

OK, our flights to Hamburg are booked.

Arr 11:40 24th May
Dep 08:00 31st May

...other details to follow as they get arranged (like getting from Riyadh back to the UK for the flight above)

We're arriving at the airport that uses (HAM) as its airport code - does that help?

 

[Hertz van Rental]

If I don't get lost too many times I should be arriving at about 7am.
Will there be anywhere open to get breakfast?

 

[LaFoto]

When do you set out, and where does the ferry take you? When does it arrive there? It is a 6-hour drive (at least) from Hoek van Holland up here.
Breakfast can be had here - "Chez Schlieffère" is the place.

 

[Hertz van Rental]

I'll be getting the midnight ferry Dover to Callais. Route Bruxelles, Essen, Bremen. I'm estimating average speed as 50mph.
If I'm making good time I might stop at a services for a nap.
