safe the date !!!

Too far ahead to know if I can make this, but I've made a note of the date.

Put me on maybe. A bit early to confirm but I always wanted to visit Tokyo.

Me maybe too.....Do you have a hotel in mind? Is there a good IC?

See you in FRA soon. :)

safe the date !!!


The date is safe (no thanks to the TSA.) I'd like to be there, Hong Kong sounds good, and you birthday needs to be commemorated.

6 month left ....... :rolleyes:

6 month left ....... :rolleyes:

I tend to plan well in advance so the longer you hold out on any specifics, the less likely it becomes that I will be there....

NOT that I am important in the party makeup.....Just an interested FT pal.

I'm planning to build an asia trip around your birthday party. As soon as award availability shows up for the flight home, I'll book. So, count me in!

Okay, I'm booked. It's Hong Kong right? Er, I mean Tokyo.

Alright, I'm in: Will be arriving with OZ on Saturday morning and departing via Shinkansen on Monday.

This is my first visit to Tokyo so I'll try to cramp some sightseeing into the rest of the weekend. Anyone care to join me?

Great to have you onboard !!

I have been strongly encouraged to participate,
and so, of course, I will.

OK, I'm ticketed. Have a tentative hotel share, but if that
falls through, might be looking.

I have updated the thread !!

My first trip to Tokyo also, would be glad to join you Sat or Sun. If you have some things in mind, please post and I won't do them on Thurs and Fri before you arrive.

Thanks Andy. Count me in.
My flights:
12th OCT: LX758 LUX-ZRH & LX160 ZRH-NRT
Hotel: IC Tokio Bay

See you in HAM a few days earlier... ;)

Where do we meet for drinks before dinner the 13th?

Alles Gute schon mal von mir!

Just a quick sidenote for all first time visitors to Japan (and due to the fact that the restaurant doesn't accept credit cards):
It's very difficult to find an ATM in Japan that accepts foreign cards! You'll find "international" ATMs in 7eleven shops and at post offices. That's it more or less...

Some guys we meet it the IC Club Lounge for some drinks.

A reminder:

For the dinner on the 13th October at Andy's Shinhinomoto you need cash - no credit cards !!

I am on the way to NRT !!!!! See you all soon !!

Some of us will meet at 5:30 pm at the Club Lounge Intercontinental Tokyo Bay. Afterwards we are going to the Restaurant.

Good Luck... Today i have an Emergency Training sponsert by ÖBB.

Hi - lili and I have just finished lunch at PG at the ANA and will be subsiding
into food and wine coma soon - unlikely we will see you at the Tokyo Bay
for drinks but we will definitely be at Andy's. See you all in about 4 hours.

Cheers
Michael

I won't make it to the IC either - too exhausted. I'll take a nap and see you all at Andy's!

Happy birthday SZG. Have a blast!

I am in Tokyo too. :D

It was great seeing everyone! Happy birthday again, Andreas.

Thanks for coming !!! It was a great party again.

Everybody a safe journey home !!
