Mittens 2010 Italy -- Sat 31st July - Sat 7th Aug. Last few spots remaining!

[Darth Mandarb]

If it's allowed to bring girlfriends I wanna lay claim to one of the spots too!

[Creed Malay]

Girlfreind spot claim here too!

[Matt Frith]

I have paid the full amount,  woo!  Now to find some flights...

[m0ds]

Okay, since there seem to be three spaces left to fill, I'm going to bring my girlfriend. So, unless there are loads of objections, she can send her deposit to Snarky right away?

Well as you'd only be reading a book for the entire visit without her, this is allowed

If you're positive DS, Becky and Radiant aren't able to visit.

I'll have my deposit amount around the 29th of this month.

As for the Carribean, it's still on the cards. That or the Azores. Otherwise it'd be good to host a decade of Mittens back in the UK, maybe Ireland or somewhere random like Guernsey. Plenty to discuss at Mittalia...also wouldn't 2012 be the official decade...

Becky and DS are definitely not in. Not sure about Radiant. So it's either two or one free spaces left now, after I've claimed one, I guess.

I guess this means we won't be sharing a bed this year  :'(

Not unless you can convince Jen to let you in with us. Not very likely though.

[AGA]

Okay, Snarky, you should have received some moneys from my girlfriend.

[Snarky]

Yup, got it.

All this stuff is out of date:

Becky and DS are definitely not in. Not sure about Radiant. So it's either two or one free spaces left now, after I've claimed one, I guess.

I still figure they'll let us bring up to 28 people if that's how many can fit in the house, so potentially 5-6 free spaces.

Counting out Becky and Adamski...


I haven't got any money from these people:

Nacho

I've got the first $101 from these people, but not the other $176:

AGA
FSi
Mods
Jen (AGA's gf)

These people canceled:
Andail
MrColossal
Finkenstein
Radiant

There's no rush, it's just for our reference so we can keep track of where we're at.

Edit: Missed Andail
Edit 2: Updated to current status

[AGA]

So did Andail pay you? He's not in your list, but he has expressed an interest.

[Andail]

No, but I intend to pay when I get home from my vacation in Barcelona, which is tomorrow.
On a side note, my girlfriend can't make it, so there's one spot more for somebody else's girlfriend to claim, although in return I might claim that girlfriend, being there alone and all. Just saying it's a risk you're taking, ya know what I'm saying.

[m0ds]

For the GPS location it's here:
http://www.fattoriaiponti.com/

On Google earth its here I believe:
43°16'7.37"N 11°46'51.43"E

Or could be the one just to the south east of that position.

[AGA]

The page you linked claims 43°16'017N 11°46'619E.

[m0ds]

Yeah but I don't know how to make that work in GE

I get a road when I put in that one.

Still can't find a place near it that looks like the photos :/

[AGA]

43°16'01.7N 11°46'61.9E works, and is near Foiana della Chiana, the place mentioned on the other website. This is a Google Maps link to the same place, only in lat/long instead of degrees.

[m0ds]

Well I'm intrigued why it points to a location that looks nothing like the villa...

[AGA]

Hmm, well it's definitely in about the right area. Did you try contacting the people to get the exact postal address?

[Andail]

Is anyone else flying to Pisa? I get pretty decent Ryanair prices to Pisa

[AGA]

Milan is waaay cheaper than Pisa, and it's only about four hours away from the house.

Bam

Hooray for Streetview!
