International Travel Group Meeting - Sunday February 1 @ 9:30am Pacific Time

It’s time again for another zoom International meeting. We always 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.

Topics for this month:
* Scandinavia
* European Cruises: Ocean & River

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 deadline to request the meeting link will be 7:00a.m. Pacific the day of the meeting.

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 please 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:
* March 1
* April 12
* May 3

I would love to attend, but it depends on weather here. If no snow or ice, I will be gone that weekend. If it’s not great, I will be home. So I’m a maybe - but if someone who will for sure be there needs my spot, that’s fine. :)

I liked hearing about the varied experiences on cruises, too.

You know that most time-travel cruises are adults only, right?

That way parents don't have to listen to their kids saying "Are we then yet? Are we then yet? Are we then yet?"
