International (Virtual) Travel Meeting - Sunday Oct. 4 @ 9:30 a.m. Pacific Time

Count me in! I love talking about travel, heck after all this staying home I will talk to people about anything. Thank you for doing these zoom meetings Andrea.

Great topics! Please include me.

Hi Andrea --
I'd love to come as well.
Thanks as always for hosting this.

Hi Andrea, please add me to the list, thanks!

Add me too please.

Thank you Andrea.

we'd like to come in. We have a meeting into the afternoon that day (early hours in California) and then I may be working on plans for a funeral.

I have to see how the timing goes.

Love the topics

Andrea, you already have my email address, I think. Please include me.

Please count me in, too! I will PM you with email.

Hi Andrea, RSVP-ing! Thank you!

Hi Andrea could you add us to the zoom meeting, space dependent?

Please do include me, too - I'm growing attached to this group!
thanks,
Avi

Hi, Andrea. I’d love to attend. I think that you have my email address from your previous international meeting. Thanks!

Hi Andrea,

Please count me in too!
Thanks for organizing this meeting!

Hi, this sounds like fun, I'm happy to contribute to the discuss from across the pond. And as a night owl, 12:30 a.m. works great for me! I'll pm you my email.

Sarah, you won’t have to stay up that late! The meeting will be at 18:30 your time.

Everyone that has replied to me on this post, in a PM or other methods should have received the Zoom link with the exception of one person who has not provided me with her email address. Please let me know if you haven’t received yours.

We are up to 19 people at this point. In past months not all who responded actually logged into the meeting and I expect that will happen again. I understand things happen, but if something comes up and you know you won’t be attending I would appreciate it if you can let me know. That way others who would like to attend won’t have to hang out in the meeting waiting room unnecessarily.

Please add me. You have my email.
Thanks!

Would love to join again if room. :)

Oops! I missed this post earlier, but please add me to the list.

Please add me if there is still room. Good topics! I’m sorry I missed this again last month.

Hi Karen, 😉your typo gave me a chuckle.

I’d like to join again if there’s still room, thank you!

The request from mln has filled up the last slot. If anyone is still interested please let me know. I’m pretty sure some people won’t be able to participate after all and slots will open up. I will send the link to everyone that requests one. Please see the original post to see how this will be handled. Again, to anyone who got the link and discover they can’t attend the meeting I would appreciate you letting me know as soon as possible.

Oh my goodness, thank you Diane for the alert about my typo! I just fixed it.
Looking forward to this meeting. Sorry I missed the last one without giving notice!

No problem, Karen. I appreciate advance notice, but sometimes things happen. I get it.

I’m bumping this up to see if anyone else is interested. I’m confident that we will have room for everyone.

One Zoom slot opening up for today -- I will have to skip this meeting, but look forward to seeing everyone next month.
Lauri

Thanks for letting us know Lauri.

Thanks for hosting this wonderful travel meeting, Andrea!

It was fun meeting everyone! : )

Thanks for another great meeting, everyone! It’s always fun and I always learn something new!

Another interesting meeting today. We heard how things are on the ground in France, Germany, England and Mexico, which was very informative. We covered other topics as well. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone next month.

As I predicted, we had people who wanted to attend today that didn’t make it.

Andrea, I sent you an email after midnight. I hope you got it to give my spot to someone on the waiting list.

what a wonderful time I had - sorry had to leave before the end.

Perhaps next time I will have lots of positive news from here.

Hope your air quality improves very soon

I really enjoyed myself this morning. Thank you, Andrea, for hosting!

Thanks for the meeting again, and thanks Andrea for organizing this. It was really interesting to hear the updates of what was going on in different places. Thanks Bets and Lane for the little glimpses of your places, too! I’m sorry I had to get off before hearing more of the electronics ideas and under the radar places.

Wow, this was a great meeting that went on and on and on :-)
Thanks Andrea for getting us together and for everyone who reported on their local situations -
so much to envy and aspire towards.

This was such an interesting meeting hearing from a number of people in various ex-US countries talk about what it’s like where they are now. Sorry that I had to leave a little early but I had another Zoom event afterwards and needed to squeeze in lunch.

Thanks for organizing this, Andrea!

Wow! Sounds like I missed a great and informative meeting!
Travel tip -- make sure you hold on tightly on a moving bus : I lost my balance and fell, resulting in two fractured ribs (confirmed by x-ray this morning instead of Zooming with you guys) ... and this was only 10 miles from home.

Oh, wow, Lauri! I know that hurts! I hope you heal quickly and well!

Oh Lauri take care! We’ve been there before after an icy skiing mishap on the same trip. We had a rule about not making each other laugh. Don’t let Ed tell any jokes and take it easy.

Lauri, I’m so sorry to hear about your injury. I’m wishing you a speedy recovery and I hope you can join us on the 17th.

Thanks, all -- much better with time (and pain pills) I plan to join the meeting on the 17th.
Also added to my travel first-aid kit : packaged lidocaine patches.
