Although I will probably have to work and am therefore a "maybe" -- I am sending a couple of representatives --

Mr. DK_1KGal and sister of DK_1KGal have their hotel reservations at Sol Melia and I'm working on their flights. They will arrive a bit early (Thursday) and then spend another 10 days in Spain. I may be able to get away and join for the weekend.

SO -- add 2 definite and 1 probable for this party of the century

( you may remember us from the Seattle dinner Jan 2003 -- we were on our way to Thailand )

Que Bueno!

I have added you guys to the lists. Hopefully we'll get some more signups as the weekend draws near.

Put yer drinkin' shoes on everybody, it's gonna be a wild weekend!

Sadly, while Mrs.Sllevin and I will be in Europe in October, we're going to be in Europe's "Surfers Paradise" -- otherwise known as Western Ireland. I'd love to break free and hop down to Sitges, but our schedule is a little too tight http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

We will hoist a few Guiness (okay, well, *I* will...the wife, for reasons unknown to me, does not apprecaite the goodness that is Guiness) though!

This sounds great. Can you please add me to the list of maybes. Thanks http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif I will see if I can get this to fit into my schedule.

I had the good fortune to have dinner with Alan this past weekend in Sitges, and spent 3 nights at the Melia Hotel. I took over 750 photos on this trip (attending swimming's World Championships in Barcelona), but have only uploaded the Sitges photos so far (about 40 or so, many of the hotel), knowing people here on FT would have a specific interest in them. I'll get the BCN photos up in the next day or two.

Click on 2003 Barcelona, then the Sitges album. As we were commuting back and forth to Barcelona for swimming, didn't have a lot of time to explore, but these photos should give you an idea what you're missing.

How far is the Girona Airport from BCN and what's public transport/the cost like?</font>
It's about a 45 minute train ride and costs 2.20 euros (about $US2.50). You will likely need to transfer trains either at Barcelona Sants station, or at El Prat de Llobregat station (which I used), depending how you elect to get there.

Oh, great! Just when we start to get respectable numbers someone has to go and bail. sllevin, you are dead to me! Dead! J/k - have a great time up north. Maybe we'll see you next year.

umguy, you are listed. Please make it a definite!

Tom911 it was a sincere pleasure to meet you and your entourage last week. (Aside to other FT'ers: Tom911 is about the nicest guy you could ever want to meet.) Hopefully we didn't make the others too crazy with our talk about seat pitch and such http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif And here's hoping you can make it for Si-Do.

Everyone be sure and check out Tom's photos. The last half especially really capture the "beachy" part of the pueblo.

Change me from a "maybe" to a "confirmed"

I bought my tickets today -- looking forward to Sitges !!


robb Aug 11, 2003 11:37 pm

OK, put me down as a maybe. I need to see if I can arrange the dates around another trip. Are you still going to scare up some miles for an award ticket for the bf if I promise to perform a certain song? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

alanw Aug 12, 2003 2:16 pm

Woo hoo! robb is coming! With the ball-and-chain!

I cannot make any promises about award tickets because I just cashed in everything I have for an MH F award to SYD for my birthday in Feb.

However, if you promise to perform the song I'm thinking of au naturel I might be convinced to put it on the Lame-O(TM) Webcam.

PS - DK_1KGal I'm glad you're going to be coming along http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif This will be a VERY festive occasion or I will know the reason why!

PPS - Stay tuned this week for a very special Si-Do Web site.

Hey Alan -

How could I resist after the DO in Seattle in January ?

Too much fun -- really looking forward to the frolics and frivolities --

From way too hot and humid Washington DC
(back home to San Diego on Friday)

Sadly, I must bow out. A wedding has popped up for me to attend out of town the weekend before the Do. Darn.

Everyone have a wonderful time. (If I win the lotto between now and then and can miss ONE MORE weekend of work I will be there!)

Just trying to keep up with the gals in the trailer park next door.

Just for that, I'm coming to Palm Springs. In a Speedo :P

Sadly, no! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

I'm thinking I'd need at least &euro;50 cash before you got me to take my clothes off on camera http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif
