I posted this a little earlyer so that we can all have a good talk about it, it's important because this meeting might become a bit more expensive then the last three.

We are planning to go on a vacation, the whole lot of us for a week. Go camping somewhere in 'de Ardennen' a nice place in Belgium. There's will be lots of things we could do there, rowing, play a game of soccer or just visit Brussels for a day. Things like that, just a nice and relaxing vacation for a week.

This is the idea for the next meeting, post your comments.

The good news is, oh yes, Im coming :D
and it sounds a good idea :) buttttt

If we do that, we will be DISCONNECTED FROM THE WORLD :((((
U CANT REMOVE ME FROM THE INTERNET :((!!!!!!! I WILL CRY!

Very interesting, but can cost a lot of money. Oh well, a good organisation is one thing. And the concept is interesting, as I mentioned earlier. Especially now we know eachother better in real life such things would be interesting.

HI.

In other words...COUNT ME IN! This sounds great . Like a loooooooooot of fun. And the money...we're all getting older, so I think until then we can all sacrifice a few days of our lives for jobs - so we can spend a great week together there

not everybody is welcomed

I think it's a good idea. The most should be able to make the money within a short period unless they have other big expenses, and most of us don't have those.

Like you, Danyjel.

Oh, and unless by some coincidence I get to go to Europe, i'm probably not coming. I want a USA meeting ;(((

-ThO

Please stay on-topic. Talk about the US meeting can be found in another thread in this forum. Please only post when you have something related to say about this meeting and coming to it. We know most Americans, Japanese, Brazillians and Australians won't come, that's not the point of this thread.

I'm definitely coming.

The dates will be pretty important. I'll be working over the summer, so it should be pretty near the end or the start of my holidays. But my end-of-year exam dates are unpredictable, as is the start of term date for the year after. I'll ask at the uni in a few month's time. A few week's padding shouldn't be too bad, as the trip (whenever it is) will be during my holiday in Luxembourg.

This meeting will be the easiest-to-get-to yet. In fact, d'you know which other country the Ardennes (*cough*) run into?

Oooh, Belgium meeting. What a good idea

Sounds like fun indeed. I certainly intend to be there, though it's kind of hard to tell without a date.

Well, its a good idea.
I don't know if i'll come...
I'm going to Belgium with some CCers this year.
I will come if I know some people better.
I don't really like to go when I don't really know the guys.
I am in right now, but it can change.

My brother(Shadow RR) and I are going to Europe to trek for all of sumer 2005. If we play our cards right, maybe we can hit you all up for a day or two. I would love it... I'll have some input when the summer gets nearer about what time in the summer, where we'll be when, etc etc.
(God knows, anyway, the feminine Jazz face is lacking in the meetings.)

I would love it if you'd hit me up Ducky!

I won't participate. I mean, i really like you, most of you, but one week is a bit too much in my opinion
I hope there will be a nice little one-day-meeting in 2005, too (best would be in the NL). I really like to see you all again, because the first three meetings were real fun

Aiko, the plan was that if people would find it to long they could just stay over for one or two days.

Oh, Aiko, I'm dying to meet you, really. I'D only be coming for a day or two, anyway, probably only staying one night before we set out again! Come on....

(& hugs etc to Slayie)

Kewl idea, but I agree with Vegito, I hardly know you guys and to join you for a holiday then... I dunno, I don't mind to come one day, maybe two, but a whole week would be to much.
But again, nice idea!

would be cool to see ducky there I also think a week is a bit too long, maybe i could come this time.. dunno.. bit too far away to tell

I just want to say, about that 2005 meeting, I've discussed this with one of my parents and their response was that I could come depending on whether if I am busy next summer or not, and depending on the prices of tickets. ;P So If I am not busy and the prices of tickets are fair and such, I could come. But not too sure yet(Since I haven't discussed this with my dad yet..heh.). ;P

Just had to say that. Although I've got a coupe of questions 'bout this..
Well, which would be the easier way to get to Belgium? London to Belg, or London to NL and then Belg?;/ (I just have never been in any of those places except for staying 1 day at London in 2000.) And in meetings, do you usually book planes(meaning as if someone books them all) or something like that, or do we have to book them?
(Meh..sorry for noob questions.)

But honestly, I'm looking forward to that 2005 meeting, and that's it if I could come depending on the things listed above. Soo..yeah.

You're in britain? If so you should also consider buses/boats. They're cheap often.

send me an e-mail Spots and i'll get back at you about that.
I think he's not a Brit but im not sure.

*she

We're already going to do this in two weeks with a group of CC'ers, in "de Ardennen" too (*sues the idea-stealers*). Would be too expensive and boring to do the same thing twice, so count me out I guess ;(. Although I'd like to hear the price first, before I make the final verdict.

this maybe is gonna be good so if you like to give a date i can askj my boss if i can be free that week

go global!

I d rather spend 3 or 5 days somewhere oversea with some cheap airlines which will certainly offer oversea flights next year and find some cheap place to live

like camping in some jazzer's garden

something like that =D

Or provide some programm where american ppl can come to us.
Needs some good management that not either all european ppl or american ppl have to pay everything for the flight.

I also think belgium is .. dunno. I mean people don't speak neccessarily english but french. but on the other hand brussel is the EU capital .


Well, go global !!!

hmms sounds great. I'd love 2 come for a day, or 2, or 3. But uhm, is august an option?
Cuz I always go vacationing with parents in july... I'm just asking since I suppose most of u would rather have it at any other date rather than august... Good idea and all though(btw what about cooking in camps? I suck when it comes 2 cooking, does anybody volunteer 2 be my personal cook?)

We already had the idea of going global, but most people wont be able to make it and i want to offer them a chance of seeing their friends as well, which is why there might be two meetings, for the Europeans that don't have the money or are not allowed to go to the states.

Well, let's all try to arrange it so that the various free times of everyone could more or less fit together plan-wise. I'm all for attending myeslf, depending on when it is and where.

And Ducky, I'd love to meet you too.

no freaking way that i'm going to be on a holiday with a bunch of strangers (no offence though) but i think loads of people will share that idea with me.

Yah, good point Shad. None taken.

So who's coming this year?
Me, Ducky and DrJones. Awesome!

Ehh.. I might come to a meeting when i'll be 16-18
