and meeting after customs sounds fine. Looks like Punki, Hunki, Joanne and I are on the same flight. (you can call us Junki and Funki. Munki, er, Michael, is arriving by train.
) Are you guys checking bags? We're undecided, but with 3 flights in Y it seems like a good idea.

Cholula, Canarsie --
How long should we keep this up? I mean, at some point, we have to let the others know that it is all a joke and there is no Meet in Venice.
My God, some of them even believe that there really is a Hotel Ai Mori or such things as water busses and water taxis!
Dov
(Gee, I hope I got this "PM to multiple receipients" thing right.)

Time to change your handle again!!! Funki is priceless.
However, I have no idea whether it fits you, not having met you yet.I'm rehearsing it now. "Junki, Funki, and Munki. Junki, Funki, and Munki. Junki, Funki, and Munki." (Gotta try to remember those handles.)

What I want to see is a Motoscafi pilot holding a sign that says "Punki, Hunki, Junki and Funki"

This VCE Meet was similar in nature. I told Dovster I wanted to fly over to TLV and meet with him this Fall. He again suggested we expand it to the group and, in fact, change countries.
Now, I'm not paranoid...except for the black helicopters that hover over my house 24/7
...but everytime I plan to meet with Dovster, he suggests we include a group and invite as many women as possible.All I'm really trying to do is restore the spark he and I first felt when we spent that looooong weekend in Dar es Salaam a few years ago....

Oh dear, please don't make fun of Hunki's handle. Poor Hunki was polarized and unable to post for years, for lack of a handle. Fortunately, our dear, wise and wonderful friend, dgolds, solved his dilemna at an FT dinner by offering him a choice: Hunki or Spunki. He chose Hunki--and that was even before he got all buffed up.
Peregrine, who was also un-named, and with us, at the time wondered if he would have to be called Flunkie. I really like Peregrine a lot better.

....more importantly, will there be anyone at the Meet called.... Drunki???
I could call myself Kunki, but that doesn't mean anything -- in English anyhow.
