International Travel Group Meeting - Sunday August 2 @ 9:30am Pacific Time

It’s that time again. Every meeting we have two topics, a country, region or city in Europe and a more general topic. I’m always interested to hear any topics you would like to talk about. You can mention them on this post, during the meeting or send me a PM. Everyone is welcome.

Topics for this month:
* Iceland
* eSIMs

It was decided by the group that we will devote the first hour to the first topic, take a short break and then continue to the second topic. YOU MUST RESPOND EACH MONTH TO THAT MONTHS MEETING POST IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND. If you have attended before I already have your email address. If not, you need to send it to me in a PM. I will not have time to ask you for it if you neglect to do this.

The emails with the zoom link will be emailed 1 - 2 hours before the meeting begins. I will post here when I’ve sent them. If you didn’t get it check your junk/spam folder and if it’s not there contact me ASAP. Once the meeting begins I will be unable to do anything. I usually log in at 9:15 if anyone is interested is joining early to chat.

Every month I get meeting requests from people with 1 post (the one requesting to join) or PM’s from people with 0 posts. We welcome everyone, but without a posting history I am asking you to private message me and tell me a little about yourself and provide your real first name. Please don’t forget to give me your email address in a PM. Do not post it on the forum.

Upcoming meetings:

August 30
October 4
December 6

Please send me the invite; I have three or four eSIM apps on my phone and they each have their own peculiarities.

Andrea, I would like to come. I will have just returned from Iceland and would be happy to share a report, and I also used a Pay as you Go eSIM on this trip that is working out very well and I’d be happy to talk about that.

Avi, I figured you would have information about eSIMs. I’m looking forward to hearing about them.

TTM, you are excused. This time. ;-)

Mardee, that is good timing. I loved your pictures from Ireland.

Wanderlust58, I’m looking forward to seeing you again.

mikliz97, I’m so happy you can join us.

Please include me also. I’m curious about Iceland and know absolutely zero about Esims.

I’ve been out of town. I’m home now and it looks like this needs to be bumped up.

Hi Andrea. I also just got back from Iceland a week ago and would like to attend.

This was my first visit to Iceland since 1986 (!) when I stopped briefly for a two-day layover on my way back from my first trip to Europe. Iceland has changed a bit since then (an understatement).

Of course, mikliz97 is the real expert on Iceland (she was very helpful to me in planning this trip!) so I would defer to her on most things, but can add a perhaps unique perspective from fresh (and still jet-lagged) eyes. I'll also be curious to hear others' impressions.

PM sent.

Yes, please add me. I might need to miss part two, which is unfortunate since I’d like to learn about eSIMs. Thanks.

Barb, I’m so glad you can join us. We’re going to be in your neck of the woods in September. I’m hoping we can get together.

Would love to join the meeting. Didn't get to spend a lot of time in Iceland, but did get to see quite a bit.
Thanks.

Hi Andrea. I'd like to attend if there's room, but give away the spot if you're running out of room. I'd love to see everyone again and hear about Iceland. I was in Reykjavik for a day and a half on a cruise, so I don't have anything to contribute and I wouldn't stay for the eSIM discussion, not relevant for me.

Andrea, please include me. I’ve been to Iceland only for a short visit and would love to learn more about the country. I’ll leave the meeting early due to another Zoom call I’ve scheduled. Thanks always for coordinating this special get together.
