Getaway , Skarpi , Help .

From: skarpi

Hi all , I am planning to get the ticket this week either
to New York or Boston , so the question is if I don´t take flight
from NY or Boston to WDC is there some who is going through
that way ? I could come earlier .

And also I need info about the cost at the Getaway it self .

All the best Skarpi .

Skarpi,

Suggest you pm Tinker, Sinsull, Jacqui or Kendall re: catching a ride from NY to the Getaway. Cost of the 2010 Getaway will be posted on the FSGW website, and probably one of the Getaway threads here when known. You might look at the FSGW website to see if there is still pricing information about the 2009 Getaway for a "ballpark" figure. I doubt the 2010 Getaway cost will be much more than last year's Getaway.

I think everyone missed it, Skarpi, I certainly didn't see it first time around.
I am SURE one or more of our transatlantic friends will chip in shortly- when they wake up :)

Skarpi,

Is BWI an option for you, or Dulles? There are often out of town folks arriving at those airports who might share a ride.

Regards,
Chance

Cost of flights from Iceland makes any where other than NY or Boston too expensive for Skarpi ! Its bad enough when you live five miles from Heathrow !!

Skarpi, I believe there are scholarship funds sometimes offered to cover the cost of the Getaway. You'd have to ask one of the members, i.e. BillD or, I *think* Nancy King or Charlie Baum?

Indeed there is a scholarship fund, which can help folks with the cost of the Getaway itself (not, alas, with travel costs). Charlie Baum is the one to contact.

Skarpi,
Fly into Boston and take a bus up to Portland. Jacqui can help you with that. She and Kendall are experts on the Boston to Portland run.
She or I will pick you up at the bus station in Portland. Stay at my house and drive down to the Getaway with me.I can use the company.

Mary, I hope to be arriving on the Thursday also, in which case if we time it right I can bring Skarpi to Portland with me.

That reminds me, I think my presence has been requested in Maine and New Hampshire. If I'm around, could I join the party?

Pre or Post Claire?
Warning - my van died and I am driving a tiny Elantra.
Jacqui and Kendall will probably have room for excess baggage. If Claire, Skarpi and Micca are driving south from Portland the car is full.
That was quick. Yesterday I was thinking of flying down.

I was thinking pre, but I'm not actually sure. I don't mean to presume, at any rate...I was thinking more of having a meal with y'all than of imposing myself on you as a passenger. That would be lovely of course, but it's not what I meant.

Anyway, I haven't got any clear plans yet. I'll have to email Linn and Jacqui and figuring out how, when, and whom to visit. I'm behind already, and it's still June! Eeek!

You are welcome, Claire. Makes sense to drive down with us. It is usually fun but don't let Micca near any gummy candies.

I'm delighted Skarpi is that much closer to getting to the Getaway; thanks to an always generous bunch of 'Catters.

Good for Claire, too!

!!!!THERE IS NO PLACE WITHIN THE ONLINE SCROLL TO SELECT THE ALL NIGHT MUSIC CABIN..!!!
When you get your confirmation back... add it in as an urgent note under lodging choice --- "Let there be no mistake ! I request all night music !"... or if you haven't registered yet git er done now with the specific request for all night music.

We've notified the authorities but the fun police don't get it.
We didn't fight the revolution a few years back and build our no zzzzzs legacy year after year to let this be ignored as a non item ....

no w git !!!!

When I registered online, I put my housing preference as "Peace". That came through in my confirmation. Gee, I sure hope they didn't think I meant "peace" (as in "...and quiet")!

Hardly matters, at any rate. If they put you in another cabin, that surely doean't mean you can't sidle on over to Peace and join the mirthful throng.

mirthful throng? is this some item of clothing produced by Jimmy T ?>?
(and can you say it three times, really fast??!!) (and is Skarpi coming?)

Sad to say, Skarpi has had some reverses and, last I heard, is not coming.

Mirthful Throng is a great tongue-twister, isn't it? Makes me want to start another band just so I can use the name.
