West coast weather possibly will affect my travel :(

I escaped SFO last night. Currently in the air DL275 DTW-NRT connecting to DL167 arriving just after midnight 11 Jan -> Aerotel T1. Anyone else coming in early but skipping the pre-DO?

I can confirm my attendance.

I'll be flying in midnight Jan 13, but I'm leaving the morning of Jan 15, so I can take part in the Jan 14 stuff.

How late will people be at the Newton Hawker Center?

edit: And if anyone is down for splitting a room, let me know :p

We will post here once we know the venue. Also zcat is going to talk to his hotel about arranging a Mekong Delta tour on Wednesday also please post if you're interested so we have an approximate headcount.

We flew into LPQ last night and I'm staying at Villa Laodeum.
Definitely up for dinner tonight (2 people).
Do you have more info on the Mekong tour?

How much for cab from airport to downtown? I presume there are ATMs at airport? Thanks

No info on the tour yet. Zcat gets into LPQ at around noon today. He will check with his hotel about setting up a tour and post here as soon as possible once he gets there. He also agreed to post about a dinner venue.

I'm flying in on a later flight, the same flight as FlyingXplorer. We get in at around 3:30 today.

If Wikitravel is accurate, taxi costs $6 and there are ATMs at the airport. You will need $35 US for visa on arrival.

Edit: I'm referring to LPQ, not SIN

Taxi costs 7€ if you stay in downtown LPQ, you buy tickets at a counter.
They put different parties in the same van and then drive you to the individual hotels.

They have ATMs right outside the airport building.

Visa costs vary (depending on country of origin), add 1USD for handling + 1 USD if you don't have a passport size photo.

I arrive in LPQ tomorrow morning around 9 am. What are plans for tomorrow? I am staying downtown.

Sorry, accidental double post. Mods, feel free to delete. Thanks.

Travel Kane and I just arrived in Luang Prabang. I looked into river tours. It is $63 to charter a boat for a full-day (9a-3p) tour, rain or shine. For dinner tonight, my recommendation is Manda de Laos. It's the highest rated Lao restaurant in town. Not sure when everyone wants to meet, but a 6:30 dinner would give us time to check out the night market afterwards.

Update: am making a 6:30 reservation at the restaurant. It's on the Maison Dalabua hotel property. Will also reserve river tour for tomorrow. Seems that there will be 5 of us tonight and 6 tomorrow for the boat trip, assuming Chrisphx is in.
