I am posting the announcement early this month as I'll be traveling. Please watch for your messages for the meeting link just a very few days before the online meeting.

I will be in the east bay, but flying home on the 8th. I would have loved to go to the German market, ugh!!! Hmm, might need to plan around that next year.

let me try to set up the zoom room now -Avi

me please.

Anytime Avi is unavailable I can contribute a Zoom session with all the whistles and bells if needed....

mikliz97, drat, we just missed you! And a good lot of us are traveling, otherwise I would encourage a special session!

Avirosemail, thank you so much.

Nigel, that is very good to know, thank you!

I get back from London on the 12th so I think I can make this!

CWSocial--I will let you know when I plan my next trip down to my moms. I would love to meet people! Most likely it will be February. Trying to fit in a trip between our Iceland/Amsterdam trip and my 2nd TKR.

Hi Catherine,
I would love to attend this upcoming meeting online.
Please add me to your list.
Looking forward to it!
Happy travels!

Add me to the on line meeting. I have some issues planning my Poland trip.

I will miss both meetings. My husband and I have both just recovered from Covid (mild cases plus paxlovid for both of us) and we will be in France. Our first trip to Europe since 2019. Enjoy the meetings and I’ll see you next time.

Hi Catherine,

I plan on attending the Zoom on 10/14 and also the in person on 10/19.

Please send me the zoom link.
Thank you! :)

It is rather late for me, but I can try and make it on the 14th.

Hi, Catherine, Please count me in.

I've just sent the meeting link for Saturday, Oct 14th to everyone who has expressed interest above, including the "maybes."

There is still room for anyone who would like to attend, whether local or not. The only requirement is that you like to talk about travel and hear about travels!

I’d love to join you at the Veranda. Finally in town for a second Saturday and forgot to sign up for Zoom. If not too late, can you send the zoom link? I’ll check back around 11.
Patty

Hi Patty, I've just sent you the meeting link. Glad you can join us in person and online!

We’d be interested in joining if there is still room and time to send a link.

Hi Mona, we still have room and I've just sent you the meeting link. Glad you can make it!

I really enjoyed today's zoom meeting - thanks everyone for coming together and sharing your news and plans!
Great yummy slides from Carol to top us off, too!

thanks CW

So sorry I missed this, completely lost my mind about the date! Best regards to everyone.

Another enjoyable meeting, so many varied trips and plans. What an active group!

Another enjoyable meeting, so many varied trips and plans. I made notes about Vienna for the hopeful future and Madrid for February. What an active group!

ponygirl813, sorry we missed you!

Thanks, everyone, for sharing your trips and plans. I was taking notes on new places and things to do in places I'd like to to back to. My head is spinning with options!

Looking forward to seeing some of you tomorrow at the Veranda!
