Radiant- is your flight leaving the morning of the 23rd or 24th? The Barcelona crew will be leaving out probably about 3-4pm on the 23rd, so the AGS van would be available to cart people around that morning.

The morning of the 23rd. In fact, real early morning (plane leaves at half past six, so I'd probably have to be there half past five). I would really appreciate a ride if that's possible so early; it'd be tricky to find another flight since most airlines don't actually fly from Amsterdam to Alicante, or have similarly inconvenient times of arrival or departure.

You should be able to get a ride then. I'm sure someone (not me because I can't drive the rental!

) would be willing to take you to the airport, but if what I hear is correct then that might not be necessary...

Farlander- I just spoke to a friend (who by coincidence studied in Benidorm for a semester last fall) and she told me that a tram between Benidorm and Alicante was completed sometime during her stay there. Is there any truth to this? It would certaintly solve a lot of troubles if it is for real.

Also, in-case anyone has any interest Disco and I just booked our tickets to barcelona

I think the mittens van is the best bet. We need to make sure that all the barcelona crew are definitely coming, so we don't waste money on a 9 seater if only 7 show up. The two that haven't booked are Spleen and Layabout... are you guys certain you're going to?

Good question ... calling Layabout and Spleen, are you two definites?

Layabout · Wed 17/05/2006 00:54:38

i will be bboking as soon as i get my visa debit card, which should be this week or next.

So I am a definite.

Helm · Wed 17/05/2006 01:01:17

I'll traditionally wait for the last second.

Radiant · Wed 17/05/2006 22:24:13

Okay, scratch that, as I waited for a day to verify free time with my boss, the plane tickets available got all scrambled. That's cheap airflights for you

So instead, I'll be arriving at 16:45 on the 16th (and Petteri / Grundislav / Grille, I'd love to travel along with you folks) and I'll be leaving at the much more convenient hour of 17:25 on the 23rd (which, incidentally, is my birthday, so this gives me some more time to hand out cake to everybody else).

Yay!

Layabout · Thu 18/05/2006 02:20:32

at alicante or barcs... These are important details radient.... if you arrive in alicante on the 15th, im not sure who or how many will be there...

No, I'm still arriving 16th. And still in Alicante.

It pains me to finally have to say this, but it looks like I can't come. They changed the way flights home are worked out this year (after decades, they changed it THIS year) so I -have- to go back to Australia, instead of cashing that ticket in and flying to Spain instead. Sorry to dick everyone around, but hooray for the person who now gets my place :/

*sad with many tears. Puppy tears*

Layabout · Fri 19/05/2006 01:13:27

or you could buy a ticket to spain and meet all the wonderful ags people...

Kinoko · Sun 21/05/2006 09:40:03

Maybe if I lived in money land, but I'm gonna have to pay for setting myself up in a new apartment in Japan on top of the flight BACK to Japan after I finish tying up things in Aust, and a gazillion other expenses. I'm afraid it will have to wait, but I put this decision off for a LONG time because I was looking forward to this so much. Perhaps if someone can promise I'll get some action with a really, REALLY hot Spaniard, I might consider the extra expense, though he would have to be damn hot, and a sure thing.

Radiant · Sun 21/05/2006 10:48:59

Oh that's simple, you can just take the plane to money land, and then you'll have enough cash to make it to Spain and back.

Layabout · Mon 22/05/2006 01:04:33

I'll put out, i may not be spanish, but i'm up for some kinky tent shaking action... Perhaps we could find a hot spanish bisexual girl and have a right old laugh...

Grundislav · Mon 22/05/2006 01:24:14

I was a spaniard about 4 generations ago...and I speak spanish...

But I'm not a whore!!!

Or am I?

Kinoko · Mon 22/05/2006 02:10:11

I'm afraid I'm just not convinced, sorry guys.

Helm · Mon 22/05/2006 02:30:19

convinced of what?

Looking back at Scotch's quote - what kind of luggage space will 'The Van' have? I'm assuming at least some of us will be lugging some kind of tent technology with us - how do bags fit in to Van capacity?

m0ds · Mon 22/05/2006 21:40:02

Ha! Well, taking Greece as a basis, we'd need another 9 seater just for luggage.
