Of course I have checked in a bag. I am bringing lots of stuff for a weekend away with you !
Great.
I have a jacket for tomorrow in my checked bag. :-)
What time are we meeting tonight ?
Hcuk94 and I land at 7 ish
Am glad that everyone is getting ready.
See you tonight Chris et al. Ellsworth has an L shaped bar, I will be sitting by the door around the wall... does that make sense???
I was thinking that since we are having breakfast in the Marais, we would walk around there and hit some "passages" and just get lost. Just like what my friend posted above. This is what we do here. It should be fun. And hopefully not raining.
The ones who can't make the casual dinner tonight (real casual... but NOT shorts
) we will see you tomorrow for breakfast... and the unmentionables who are way too busy driving fast cars... we will be seeing you for drinks tomorrow.
I hope that by now, you all have my tell #, am on what's app as well. You can always reach me anywhere.
Oh BTW since the resto is open just for us, you can wear shorts and flip flops, but it would be nicer not to.
It should be a great weekend.
There are some wonderful shows, museums etc, around, and many will be open on Saturday night. There is one of Oscar Wilde at Le Petit Palais.
http://www.petitpalais.paris.fr/en... unfortunately it is next to the Champs Elysee...But across the street from one of the most beautiful bridges.
Anything else I can do/help with or whatever???

Greetings from a very beautiful Las Vegas. We are having great weather at the moment, my most favourite time to be here. The Lady Tobias and I are really disappointed we couldn't even attempt to join this little soirée, we certainly intend to make it to one of these Do de Paris (
) very soon.
Knowing the characters who are there, I'm certain y'all will have a great time. Please don't forget to toast absent friends just as The Lady Tobias and I are doing right now ^

En route on, involuntary downgrade to Club from Exit class on BA304. EU261 claim will be going in on Monday.
Still aiming to get to town for breakfast otherwise will improvise as the flight is very full.

You have my #, you can always message me. Besides, once you land you can skip going to the hotel and just come and join us. The hotel will always be there.

What a formidable start to the weekend with a great little dinner, get together and walk through nighttime Paris last night.
Just getting out of bed so may be a few mins late for breakfast (didn't quite get my required 8 hours beauty sleep......).

On my way (as I texted). Will be a few minutes late.
What a glorious day to wonder around the small streets of Paris.

Thanks to Yahillwe for organising this lovely little DO, although I can't be there in person for this evening it was great to see and meet a few of you this morning for a spot of French breakfast on a glorious sunny morning (that is killing us with UV A)
Hope you all have a great time and enjoy Paris.
Until next time, safe travels!

Sadly I valued my sleep this morning a bit too much to make it to the breakfast, but it certainly looked like great weather to sit out and enjoy Paris. Hopefully see you soon.

Suffice it to say your skin is all the healthier for the lie in!
I'm certain you'll all have a great time and wish I could have stayed longer to be in the company of such lovely people...as it is, I'm Billy no mates now at CDG T1 waiting for the first of three flights back to the UK

Celebrating with you, in a round about fashion...
OW lounge for LAN 705 is a Lufty lounge so toasting you in true Oktoberfest style with a butter bretzel and a German half litre! I seem to have found the rain as well here in FRA...hoping that changes when I arrive in MAD a bit later.
