Even if the worst situation were to arise (and I very much doubt it will) and servus were simply to disappear from FT I would not be at all unhappy about visiting Prague.

It is a city I have long wanted to see. In fact, I started a thread about it before this Do was thought of. I am spending an entire week in the city and the fact that for part of the time, even if there is no Do, there will be FTers there is simply icing on the cake.

Of course, in real life, it would not work out that there is no Do. One of us would simply suggest a place and time for all of us to meet on the 10th, such as a bar in the Hilton Prague, and together we would figure out when to get a boat tour, where to have dinner, etc.

Last post April 5th ...

I haven't heard from him either, but maybe he is studying for final exams.

With 19 other flyertalkers around I am sure we will find plenty to do, flyertalkers are good travelers and usually will find something to entertain themselves.

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.

Knowing the_happiness_store his son is not a toddler

Cheers.

boxo and I go way back. We have been to several DOs together and visit when in each other's neighborhood.

My guess is that servus will post before the Do starts. We're still 3 weeks out. If not, I have total confidence that us FTers can pick a meeting place, organize a castle tour or river cruise, find a restaurant/bar, etc.

Cheers.

Knowing boxo, I'm rather hesitant to ask... so I'll just announce that I'm joining the fun!

Looking forward to my first visit to Prague, seeing many friends again and meeting the others. And I guess Dovster will be there also.

Scoow is going to be there?

I wonder if it is too late for me to change my itinerary and visit Albania instead.

Since servus hasn't updated in a while, just wondered if some of the maybes had switched to yeses, and if hotel info was accurate. I'm still trying to decide between Marriott & CY Flora, but leaning towards Marriott since it seems to be more centrally located.
