2023 SIN DO discussion
 
I'm planning for the next DO. Are they always the 3rd weekend in January?

Yep, it coincides with MLK holiday weekend. I won't be able to attend because I'm taking the +1 to MLE around the same time.

Wife and I will be there over that weekend in 23.

Wouldn't that also conflict with LNY in 2023? Like reunion dinner?

Zorak Aug 19, 2022 3:45 pm

I also have at least placeholder flights/hotel booked for 2023

Google tells me LNY is the 22nd, whereas SIN DO is traditionally MLK weekend, 13-16.

Third weekend is 21/22 this year (assuming you guys stay with the 3rd weekend of January). Reunion dinner is evening of the 21st... first day is 22nd.

As I said (bolded) it's traditionally the weekend that, depending how you want to refer to it, either precedes or includes MLK day in the US (3rd Monday in January). For example 2017, 2012, and 2006 have the same January calendar as 2023 and, it was held the 13th-15th:

Also 2007 when Jan 1 was a Monday:

So then it's the 2nd weekend (vs. what CDKing provided).

I'm getting rumblings of some new projects coming down the pipeline so I'm unlikely to attend, but wanted to point this out.

This year it is, yes.

Well to be fair he did also say MLK weekend, but probably wasn't looking at a Jan 2023 calendar when he posted it.

Either way, rather than getting wrapped up in which numbered weekend it is and whether you want to count any part of a weekend vs. full weekend that includes Friday, it's easier to look to see when MLK Day is, and then SIN DO is the Fri-Sun immediately before that Monday.

I have flights booked as well for MLK weekend in SIN.

HPN-HRL Aug 20, 2022 5:01 am

I booked flights and hotel (Andaz) a few months ago, coming in on Friday the 13th; hoping to spend a few days in KUL after the Do.

It will be great to see you again!

Is there a thread for the 2023 SIN DO?
