Time to move the social planning over from the Middle East Forum to Community...

Now that Sean and I are in BEY, and had a great dinner with BEYFlyer last week, and that meriem has arrived in town as well... we have the beginning of some regular events :)

So how about Wed 22 evening, we can meet in BCD say 8pm?

I'll pencil it into my diary... Have your people call my people and we'll figure something out... And what kind of champagne are we having on the 22nd? And please, none of that cheap DP stuff!!!

Ok...
so i have two options ....
March 17-21 or March 24-28

Via opodo there are some great rates for MEA: FRA-BEY-FRA just 200 € ( + tax & TSC)...
so saved enough for some brand new rayban sunglasses :cool: :cool: :cool:

which dates fit YOU guys better?

I do have some guests flying in on the 16th for 5 days, but I will always find some time off for you guys. Otherwise, the 24th is just as good. Whatever is "cheaper" and whatever works better for you. Let's see what GK has to say since he is the one in and out of planes these days...

Hi everyone. I will be in Beirut from the 18th to the 25th or 26th of March. Let me know if you do get up to anything, I would love to join you if you don't mind.

Cheers,

Alex

BEYFlyer, once again I will be unable to attend this meet. :(

As soon as our respective governments manage to work out the details, I will either drive up to Sidon to meet you or you can drive down to Nahariya.

That will probably be the happiest meet in the history of FlyerTalk!

Welcome Alex!

Finally i am booked now to BEY from March 24-28 ( MEA 218/217)
You definitely shouldn't miss the saturday/sunday nights of Beirut. So I would recommend to fly out monday or tuesday. (Monday is usually my detox day hanging around with my moslem friends)

And never take these night flights:
One of the most frustrating things of my life was to leave a club in Beirut at 1.30 am , when the club is hieving and the mood fantastic and all the habibis are around you....

Sure you are welcome to join, for the pre-dinner cocktail , the dinner, the after-dinner drink, the pre-club lounging, the clubs, the after-partys and ...

Look forwad to seeing you both in a few weeks time... :)

Look forward to meeting you Alex ^ . We will be doing something for sure... A good dinner is always necessary if you want to keep up with Jimmy67 ;) :D ... Hey, if there is anything you need, please don't hesitate to PM me.

Sorry Dovster :( ... Someday soon I hope...

Paging GK... Where in the world are you? Are you in Beirut on the 24th and/or 25th of March? We'll have to do something on either (or both) of those days so as to include as many FTers as possible. meriem how about you?

Can an x Syrian come :D

I will certainly do my best to attend ! The 24th or 25th sound good for me. :D

Hey Jimmy67, thanks for the advice. I'm actually pretty flexible as to when I leave Beirut since I will continue on to Syria by road and fly back to Europe from Damascus on April 3rd. That one is a day flight, thankfully, but on the inbound I got stuck on the LH flight that arrives at some 01:40 am or something like that. Unavoidable, sadly.

I look forward to meeting you in Beirut!

Thanks! I will be in Lebanon to visit a friend who has been interning in Beirut for the last four months, so I am reasonably set for local knowledge. I do look forward to meeting you though!

I'm hoping the same. And that I can be there when it happens.

:D Of course!!! Yalla, come on over and join us...

My pleasure alex0683de. See you soon...
