I checked the weather just like you.... it looks like the weather will be on the 'cool' side (low to mid 70's as the high and mid-50's as the low) Prague and Istanbul. I am packing leggings (long and short ones) and layers - one pair of low boots, some flats, and maybe one pair of trainers (tennis shoes). Instead of my waterproof jacket, will make do with a tiny umbrella. Trying to get it all in a 20" bag and a small backpack for Kindle, etc.

I've been following this thread for several months with the intention of attending - well I am now booked and will be there! I'm flying into Berlin and staying a few days then taking the train to Dresden for a few days and then heading to Prague for the DO. I'll be staying at the Hilton Prague.

So will there be registration and fees payable up front for the DO?

BOXO,Pat98339,miffSC,t_h_s, I am sorry that +1 and I are not going to join you guys at this wonderful DO, enjoy the DO and safe travel.

Take lots of pictures for us.

BTW - I have a 9am arrival on Friday & a 6:30pm departure on Sun. If anyone is arriving/departing around those times, maybe we can share taxi or take bus service to/from together, and on the outbound hang out at the *Alliance lounge.

Cheers.

Is it ok for my son and me to attend? Does anyone have hotel deals??!!

Read the thread :p People have been posting hotel deals throughout. Are you limited to which chain?

Cheers.

That's 19 pages. Mea culpa. See you :p.

Expedia has rates as low as $25 per night (for a two-star hotel). The problem is that unless you know Prague (which I don't) you have no idea of what kind of an area it is in.

No.

I can't believe you don't have your page view set to max posts (which I think is 40/page), which brings down significantly the # of pages to look through. :p

BTW - besides hotel there's some good info in the pages provided by adventureadam.

Also in the last couple of pages, there have been hotel discounts listed for Marriott, PC, and Hilton I believe. Courtyard Flora is about $100/night w/ brekkie for 2, for example.

I'm assuming this is a joke since everyone's invited to FT events. ;) :D Knowing the_happiness_store his son is not a toddler :p

Cheers.

Hotel deals.... the Hilton is having its Great Getaways (or something like that) promotion which is bringing costs down considerably at a lot of their properties.

I will be staying at the ICH on one paid night and the other two nights on points. Staying at the HI Airport for Monday and Tuesday nights. Flying home on Wednesday.

Anyone heard from servus recently?

No, but I did send him a pm today to see what is what.... at any rate, there obviously is still going to be a big convergence on Prague from the 10th to the 13th :)

Well we are coming anyway, And you will just need to learn to live with it,:)

We are happy that the_happiness_store will be there.... and the son!
