What will almost certainly be the final F/T Meet of 2006 will be held in Lugano, Switzerland, on Saturday, Dec 30 at 8 pm.

To be more precise, it will be held in the village of Canobbio, which is about 4 kilometers outside of Lugano.

It will start with dinner at the Grotto Ticinese , Via Cantonale, I Grotti 2, an excellent restaurant, of a type particular to the Ticino region of Switzerland, and very reasonable in price. It specializes in grilled meat dishes (although many other choices are available) and for the more adventurous among us, it usually has not only steak, veal, and pork but also wildlife including venison, rabbit, and boar.

If anyone wants to call the restaurant, its number is 091-967 1226.

Afterwards, we will go to my girlfriend's home in Canobbio to enjoy some brandy and chatting.



How to get to Lugano:

From most places in the world: Fly into MXP (Milano) and either rent a car or take a direct bus from the airport.

From a few isolated airports in Europe: Fly into the Lugano Airport. It is a bit outside of town, tiny, and I don't know if it has a car rental agency. There is, however, a shuttle bus into the center of Lugano. The closest train station is about a 15 minute walk from the airport in Agno.

From reasonably close European cities: Take the train or drive in on E35 (known as A2 in Switzerland and A9 in Italy).

Definite List (The Meet is definite as soon as we have six on this list).
