International Travel Group Meeting (on Zoom) - Sunday, Dec. 3 @ 9:30a.m. Pacific Time

Yes! I want to know about Christmas Markets and related festive holiday stuff!

I'll be there!

count me in......

Add me too!

I'll try but I may be late because of being out of town to visit a friend.

I would like to attend please!

I will try but might be late. I will know more toward the end of the week.

I would love to, as the meetings are great; but I’ll be heading to the airport for Christmas Markets in Europe that day! 🎄

I'm in! Looking forward to it!

S J, you are excused. ;-) Where are you going? I’m leaving the day after the meeting for my Christmas Market trip.

I'll be there, Andrea - thanks!!

Please count me in. Thanks.

Yes, please!

Hi, would like to join and if you like, I can do a live feed from a Christmas market. Probably one of the smaller ones, but it might be Frankfurt. Haven't decided yet which market I will be visiting on the 3rd.

Please add me in. It will encourage me to do the Mountainview meetup :j-)

Yes!! Looking to live vicariously through all the upcoming trips.

Andrea:
I’m going to London, then a few days in Brussels.
Then Scotland following that.
What about you?
Have a wonderful time….I’m watching the weather every day and hoping for a wee bit ( only a bit) of snow for atmosphere!

S J, In Scotland at least there is a good chance you will find some snow, it is in the forecast for the end of this week. The latest cold weather warning from the government says it will be transitory in Eastern England, warming up for a few days, then returning towards the end of the following week.
Even in the coastal Lake District we are currently forecast sleet for next Friday. If that happens it is always knife edge if it is rain, sleet or snow. On the coast it shouldn't settle but on the high fells who knows.

Ms. Jo, it would be fantastic if you would like to do a live stream.

S J, I’m flying into Brussels and going directly to Bruges. After that we will be in Cologne for markets and to visit my cousins who live there, Strasbourg plus day trips, a tiny town in the Black Forest for Ravenna Gorge, and finally Frankfurt with day trips.

I hope you have a wonderful time. I would love to see London this time of year.

S J and Andrea, I'm so jealous! I can't wait to hear details from both trips!

I think I can make this one, and I'm certainly interested in the topic!
Andrea, I'll message you if I cannot make it happen.

Please include me. Thanks

I’m looking forward to seeing everyone next Sunday. As a reminder to anyone who has never joined us before, please PM me your email address.

To those of you that may need to join late, no problem. I’ll send the link and you can log in when you’re available.

Please include me, Andrea.
Thanks,
Cheryl

Andrea, I’m so bummed I can’t make this month. We are in Boston for the week and have plans for Sunday. With the time difference it is just impossible.
Have a fun trip.

The meeting is two days away so I’m bumping this up in case anyone missed it.

Great topics; I would love to participate. Will Pm my email, Andrea.

Got it Carroll, thanks.

Well darn, can't make it after all. Our friends just moved and are excited to have us come over.

Happy holidays to you all!

I can join if there is still room. I can report on November in Paris. Thanks.

Andrea: just wanted to wish you a wonderful trip….I hope the snow yesterday in Germany and surrounding areas doesn’t cause you any delays.
None in Belgium yet!

Thank you S J. I’m very excited for the trip. It doesn’t appear at this time that snow will be a factor. I just checked in for my flight. Is it time to go yet?

I just emailed the zoom link to everyone who has provided an email address. See you soon!

I know I promised a zoom from one of the Christmas markets, but just got home and am exhausted. 2 markets today and it is COLD here in Deutschland.
If there is interest, I can set up a zoom meeting some time this month that is just at a market.

I'd love that, Ms.Jo, if the timings work

I didn't get an email

did anybody else?

The meeting is going on. I sent the email, but I just sent you another one.

Great meeting as usual. I always enjoy hearing about folks' travel plans and past adventures. Thanks, Andrea & Jim. Happy holidays everyone.

Thanks Andrea. It went to an old email. Have a great and fun trip, we can clear it up when you return! Have a bratwurst for me!

Fun meeting! Thanks to everyone for joining. Happy holidays to all and I’ll see you next year!

this was indeed a fun meeting, and the first I can remember where we had attendance from even farther north than Alaska -- we had the North Pole represented!

Sorry I had to leave so abruptly.

Have a wonderful trip, Andrea and Jim! I enjoyed talking travel with everyone.

The Elf looked a bit tired! Santa overworking his staff this time of year?😉

Thank you Carroll, it was nice meeting you.

I think the Elf is getting tired of sitting on all those shelves.
Fun meeting, thanks Andrea and Jim.

The elf was tired. On the way to London the motorway was completely shut so needed a plan B, freezing fog the whole way, then in London the A4 was down to one lane and took a very long time, wonderful time in between, and then on the way home it got dark and rain, so yes, the elf was tired.

Winter driving is so much fun, but worth it. At least the elf was there

Even elves have hard days.

Oh no!!! I can't believe I missed the meeting yesterday!!! How sad! It sounds like it was a great one! Happy travels Ya'll. And a happy holiday season to you!
