I wish we could come and spend time with our wonderful friends, well....ok, maybe not really, I'd rather be in Paris! Oh that's right, we WILL be in Paris! But we will miss you all 😃

You won't quite be there yet. But you'll be in the air and that's close enough!! I know you guys are going to have a great trip.

Hope we can make it -- will be coming from the Sierras (not Paris, but it's the best we can do right now) so it's up in the air. Definitely not by 10 a.m., though.

I won't be able to be there for this meeting. We'll be on a train out of Sacramento for Denver. Then, in a rental car, we are on to Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Stillwater, MN and then 5 days in Door County, Wisconsin for tart cherry pie. Our family with the grandchildren will join us in Wisconsin.

Most interesting, we will be spending one night in Fargo, ND. Seems Kevin from our group will be there as well. His daughter will be attending the university there. We'll be having dinner together in Fargo. Go figure. Anybody else want to show up on Wed June 26 for dinner?

That sounds like a great trip Larry. Sorry I can't join you guys for dinner. I think meeting you in Barcelona was a better deal than Kevin is getting. ;-)

Andrea, I have to agree. I'm expecting Bar Lobo in Barcelona to be a whole lot better than Buffalo Wild Wings in Fargo. But, it should be most enjoyable to be with Kevin and his daughter.

Oh, so close, Larry (and Kevin) - we're in Durango, CO, getting some much-needed R&R transition time between caring for Sid's parents and returning home (TEN weeks later). We'd be more than happy to bop up there and meet you ;-) but we're really ready to be home. Ah...Mount Rushmore...years ago and after many switchbacks we finally came around The Big Switchback and There.It.Was! I'm quite certain I was squealing and jumping up and down as much as I possibly could while buckled in LOL! But that's me ;-)

I WILL be at Panera this Saturday - finally. Maybe not by 10:00. Shut up, Andrea ;-)

Count me in, but gotta leave early. (So, I'll likely miss Madame Eileen! :)

This earthbound member is looking for info on: Cologne, Koblenz, Rudesheim, Wurzburg, Bamburg, Nurenberg and Passau. (things to do, eat or drink... probably in reverse order!)

Happy travels to Susan!

You get a pass this month Eileen. Don't get too used to it, it's a one time only deal. ;-)

Kat, I have cousins that live in Cologne. I'll see if it's okay with them to give out their email addresses. They might have some good ideas.

I'm camping in the Sierra this week and wifi is spotty. See everyone Saturday!

kat, I can give you info on Rüdesheim and Würzburg. Just message me.

My dad, who some of you met back in Nov. has just moved closer to Sacramento. I told him to go to these meetings since I can't be there. Hopefully, I will make it over there again late fall and join you all at Panera. It was such fun meeting all of you finally. Offer for coffee and a meet-up still holds for anyone coming through Frankfurt. Even if it is just a few hours at the airport while you wait for a flight.

I'll be in Sacramento on Saturday while my husband visits a job site. So he'll drop me off on the way around 9:30-10:00. Not sure how long I'll stay, it depends if everyone can talk Tom into staying a bit when he picks me back up. He calls us "Rick Stevites".

Andrea, we can talk Scotland! This morning I received an email from the Ryder Cup saying there were tickets available for people already registered, so we now have 2 tickets for the Friday match day, and will get a refund for the practice day on Thursday. 3 months, 2 days and counting!

Larry,
Fargo- Buffalo Wild Wings- been there, my niece works there. Old Broadway is my husband's old stomping ground.

Laura, we were camping in Pollock Pines.

I'm looking forward to finally meeting you Karen.

Jo, your dad would be a welcome addition any time. We can have a meeting with you in Frankfurt on October 19th and maybe you'll make it to our November meeting.

Darcy, I will be missing our September and October meetings in Sacramento. Sorry I won't see you in October, but I will see you in Paris on September 26th!

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow!!

Sorry we'll miss you today -- got a mini-emergency so we'll be going straight home instead of stopping in Sacramento. Maybe July ??
