nah, not really, he's just a worrier!

That time he was out of the country with the gruesomes too.

Hey, things like that happen once in a lifetime-if at all.

let's hope so!!!
(the condition is still there, however, so be prepared for it!!)

loads of hospitals to choose from

right, I've got the dosh together. I'm buying my train ticket tomorrow.

phew!

now I just need to book the hotel (I guess it was in this thread?)

So... how and where do we meet?

getting excited now!

You sure about the hotel ? My friend mentioned one that does special tariffs, but i can't recall the name

yep, sure about the hotel
but thank you, you're very kind

so, where's everyone staying? RF, what about you? TC are you bringing your husband?

I have a train ticket now, so I _have_ to come!

Wooohey, that's great
RF is staying with me, I think I mentioned it

really?

perhaps I should re-think and bring my sleeping bag....


my train arrives around 11am I think...
where and when should we all meet up?

RF's tplane is due to arrive at 10.30, so if all goes well, i think it would be easiest for you to wait at the station and we'll fetch you from there

That sounds good

The HBf or the airport station.

RF: if you like, I could probably grab you from the airport, I'm sure I'm due to arrive around about the same time as you. Once you're off the plane etc, I could probably be waiting at the arrivals gate.

Will your train pass through airport then ? I that case, it's probably a good idea to get off and join us there.

I really must pin my husband down. I don't think he'll come. I'll organise a room, anyway, Sho - a double room, and I must get my train ticket tomorrow, too. Last chance!

train ticket - check
hotel booked - check

right - all I have to do is make sure I have clean underwear and I'm all set.

B'Elana, I'll email you with my train details - no need to meet me on the platform if you don't want to, but of course I'd be delighted to see you there, then we can go up and collect RF from the terminal. I think I'm due in half an hour before he is - so if you prefer we could meet at the arrivals place.

I'm getting very excited now!

I spoke to TC today, she's going to try to book the same hotel. (I'm not a good houseguest and I'm complete pain to share a room with - I put it down to 7 years boarding school followed by the Army - so a hotel is the best option)

that's fine with me Sho, and we'll manage to meet at the airport somewhere, there are only so many places where we can fetch RF ( although I guess I'll have to ask somebody where it is, not sure how far you can go to fetch somebody ).

usually you can just wait on this side of the last customs/immigration check

ho yus, I have spent Waaaayyy too much time in my life either meeting or being meeted...

you know what I mean!

I know what you mean, but haven't experienced it very often

we'll be fine
you have my phone number

>> RF: if you like, I could probably grab you from the airport <<

Be gentle with me, I hate being grabbed by the airports! Although I've never heard them called that before...

Ho yus! I shall (BoB willing) arrive at Frankfurt at 1030...Bel has my mobile number, so hopefully we should all find each other at the airport. Hope they have signs in English as well as German!

RF

Not many, I'm afraid, at least I didn't discover many the last time we landed there and got lost
