If we come toghether on the 17th, Chantal and I can be there between 7 and 8 PM. She has to work till 1 PM and it will take us some 5 hours to reach London. But I'm convinced we'll come to an agreement
 .
Trip, no worries man! If you come to Holland in october, we can meet and have a few beers! |

Hi Guys thought Sebastian was here only a short time but as he is on tour can meet up in Paris, Brussels on Euro Star or another city after the 3rd August, the 17th July would be tight for me as I would meet up in London on my way to the airport for a 4am check in on the 18th July.

We could make it to La Rochelle if need be. It's a nine hour drive, so that's not too bad (I'm used to do that to go skiing in Austria for a weekend). Could we stay one night there with you Sebastian?
For your detour to Belgium, maybe somewhere between 7-22-09 and 03-08-09...? Only thing I know is we want to meet some of our CCF-friends! A few hours driving won't stop us .

Paris is no problem!
But we will go by car, just a 4 hour drive (did I already mention I love to drive...? LOL). I'll pick you up at Paris Nord and then we'll drive up to Sebastian's family. On the other hand, you could also come to Belgium as well... Eurostar to Brussels, where I pick you up. Make a tour in Brussels, go to Bruges and then back at our little town. Have a good night rest and the next day some skiing on our lake and river... |

As we would love to you guys to come to Belgium, we only have one problem. We live in an appartment above Chantal's shop. So unfortunataly, we don't have guestrooms. But we do have some very nice B&B's in the close neighborhood (prices vary from 30 to 35 euro a head a night), so you can spend the night there and we would come pick you up in the morning.
One possibility for you Sebastian (since you have the kids with you), is that you and the kids stay at our house. You and your lovely wife can sleep in our bed, the kids on our couch (that can be transformed in a 2 persons bed). Chantal would stay at her parents house and I would use my army gear (field bed and sleeping bag). Chantal's opinion is this is the best way to go. And we will make reservations for Roger (and Tomski, if he would join this little reunion. Haven't heard from you Tom...) at the B&B. Bummer, now I wish I had guestrooms... |

Brussels Hilton is very nice. Stayed there a few times. But it's an hour drive from our home, so better stay at the nice B&B's that are 5 minutes drive from home LOL.
No worries mate, we'll arrange something. But we'd better start pinning a date
Is Tom coming also...? |

Regarding Ile de RE (La rochelle) I have to see if I can make you in..the thing they got the house fully redone during the winter and it´ll be finished by the end of july (i hope they make it through) and the whole familly its going to go for the reopening..so I don´t know availavility... I will in these days, ask who will also be there..if we are alone maybe a couple of days we can pull you in...let me check. Last night I was wondering about this post...is good you brought back to life!!!! |

Kris As for Tom I think it may have gone like this with a newborn in the house.
Tom, Can I pop over to Paris or Brussels for a jolly with the boys? Wife No. Could be wrong and he waiting for the right moment to ask,but that's 16 years away. |

Just seen this pop up again and Roger's assessment of my circumstances! Not far from the mark - but I didn't bother asking! I'd love to meet up but time is just too short. I've got 4 boats to keep on top of as well as young Matthew to entertain me.
My new job means weekends are the only real home and family time I get (leave home at 6:30 and not home until 7:30 or 8:00 in the evening). you know how it is! Everything else still needs doing - the grass still grows the cars still need washing etc. The neighbours must love me, I was out washing the car at 6 last saturday - Matthew decided he wanted to get up, so that was it, might as well do something once you're up and about. I then started cutting the grass at about 7. The throaty roar of the Briggs and Stratten woke Katy up, who put her head out the bedroom window and pointed out that It was a bit early for that kind of racket! |

Well Tom, I see your agenda is nicely filled!!
You are hereby officially excused for the little reunion... 
But still, it would have been great to meet you! Aah, there's always next time! Like I said to Roger, I wouldn't mind making a quick trip across the Channel to see his great work on his boat, so a little detour to your parts wouldn't be a problem either... |

I'd love to Sebastian, but from 7-15 till 7-21 we're in full preparation of the ski show from our club... Busy busy times...
BTW, Google Maps says it's 05.45 hours to that place... |

Sorry guys, bit of trek to London for me nearly 300 miles! Too far, even for me, to go for a pint!
Enjoy your trip to the UK though and make sure you try some proper english beer - although, as anyone from the north will tell you, the beer in London is flat and they don't know how to pull a good pint! |

So... got off the phone and MSN with Sebastian...
He'll take the "Thalys" train from Paris to Brussels on july 22nd and will arrive in Brussels at 14.17 PM, where I'll pick him up. Make a little tour in Bruges and Brussels and then to the lake house we rented for the summer. Spend two days on and off the water and then return on the 25th. So Roger, maybe you can arrange to come also...? Would be great!! Let us know, so we can find you a room to stay. |
