So, not quite sure where that leaves us.

If the original date does work, then I'll carry on and organise. If not, then I think I'll have to leave it to somebody else.

Cheers
Any time but not that weekend as it's eid. I'm here but it's an awful place at that time - flights are packed, immigration queues massive and taxi queues lengthy (thank goodness for chauffeur drive )

Start of sept would surely be a quiter time?

OK... Last try

The mods over on the EK forum have suggested 4th-7th September. They are going to try and get EK involved again once we firm up the dates.

I think this date should be made firm, so people can start booking.

Please advise if you're definite/maybe/not a chance etc.

Thanks

Possibly. That weekend is the only weekend all summer after July 1 that I have plans. I may be able to modify them but won't attempt to do so until I KNOW this is a go. It involves change pentalties....

I'm a maybe. I'd be just coming back from the the EZE DO. I did reserve a DL flight just in case. What are you thinking for the DO central hotel?

Is the evening of the 4th for arrivals or would there be a function before Friday?

I'd probably aim to get there late on the 3rd, with maybe a dinner on the 4th.

Not sure about the hotels yet, the Park Hyatt has been the preferred option in the past, but people book wherever their points are more valued

I've requested the mods change the title of this thread to the new dates.

also listed this Do in the Consolidate Do thread to perhaps gain more visibility.
