And I thought it might be useful to members to see if anyone's trips overlap, and they could meet up in the FSU. EasyTarget -- Ulyanovsk, possibly Moscow too. Outside chance of Minsk. 23rd of December to 6th January Who else? |

At least Khashyar,Searcher and Waiting all live there. There could be others that want to make a RMP Meet and Greet. TooTall Bill is from SF.. Jill is down that way somewhere in the 'burbs. But I don't know where... SF maybe???

AkMike - Sure I'll let you know when we will be in Vegas. Waiting123, Ms.Waiting123, Khashar, Lena, maybe Longfellow, and maybe Dagpop and his bride will be in attendance. I'll invite you all to the wedding. It will be at the Luxor Hotel. |
She's tickled that she will finally get to meet some of the folks face to face!

She's flying British Airways BA0883 from Kiev to Heathrow on 21st December. She lands at about 15.50. Don't suppose your lady can fly a week earlier?

It's a shame we didn't know before the flights were booked. Oh well. That's life. They will both be fine.

Thanks for the good wishes.| Her son and I will also need clothes. |

P.S. I like the 'to Forever' bit on my itinerary! |
She goes home on the 13th of January. The details were a little sketchy at the time of this thread starting and nothing was booked. It's only a small detail and not important. 
Lucky B*****D!!!!!

It would be great if you can get your step-son over in August, I think that is really reasonable.

anyway it is only 7 days, 3 hours, 56 minutes and 56 seconds now

It is only next week for you - good luck. I organised the trip for for that week because I have no leave (vacation) days left for this year but I can 'work from home' after the 21st!
Chris - not too long for your to wait, hope xmas is not too lonely Current mood - In Love and excited! |
and I bet when I am there time will fly Oh well, at least I have nearly 3 weeks with her. |

Only 4 days, 20 hours, 12 minutes and 44 seconds before I find out how fast the clock can go! Right now, I'm up to my neck in stripped wallpaper and fresh paint! It's keeping me busy and keeping my mind occupied. In the "mood" section on the left, it says "excited", but that's only because there isn't one that says "VERY, VERY, VERY EXCITED"! |
hope the strippers are good to you
