Ron in Rome, a frequent contributor on this Helpline will be in Atlanta on August 18 and plans to visit our group meeting! He's going to discuss what it's like to be an American living in Europe full-time - it should be a great discussion. We're set for the Hudson Grille in Brookhaven (4046 Peachtree Road, Atlanta, GA 30319) at 1:30. If you're new to our group - look for a blue Rick Steves' guidebook on the table. We'll have plenty of time for trip reports plus itinerary suggestions for 2012-2013 trips! Anyone interested can join us at the wine tasting at The Cook's Warehouse nearby starting at 3:00 p.m. Can you attend?! Let me know so I can make sure to reserve enough spaces! Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Ohhhhh...I wish I could attend! Maybe we can set up a short visit on Skype? Our meeting will start at 10:00, so the timing should work out.

We can do that Andrea! I'll check with Larry in your group closer to the date. Sounds great!

Sharon, we're envious out here in Sacramento that you have Ron. Are you interested in a Skype or Apple Facetime session? I have both on my iPAD. If your are interested, perhaps we can set up a 11:00am our time and 2:00pm your time Skype call. We've done this with Lee in Denver and with Nigel in England. It's a hoot. If you are interested, we can trade Skype IDs by PM.

Reminding everyone of this month's meeting! I know that several of our regulars are traveling this month so it may be a smaller group than usual. If you haven't attended in awhile or have been thinking of attending - please join us! Does anyone in our group have a London or Great Britain book that I could borrow for a friend? Thanks!

Hi, I am attending. I am so glad that I found the group and group meeting just in time. I am going to Switzerland in early October and I need a lot of advices on planning my trip.

(also posted this on the Sacramento site, referencing missing the Skype connection this morning): Bummer :-(
So, we get another shot? I think there'll only be a couple of us for the Sept meeting, but it'll be the Important Couple of Us. Heh-heh.

@ Eileen - I won't be at next months meeting, and you are welcome to go on my trip with me. You'd think you would be sick of Texas by now though! :P

@Andrea - Now we know that's not a 'real' trip! Although my recent Texas trips have been rather 'trippy'... :-( What I want to hear about are the wine tastings...!

Practice makes perfect! Isn't it rude when people go on trips and don't come to the meetings?!? ;-) Now if they took me on their trip, that would be entirely different...

Hi Stuart! Emily and you are charter members of our group - it doesn't seem right that you're posting from Seattle now! Hoping you can attend when you're visiting in Atlanta!!!
