Mittens Benidorm 2006 - WED 16 AUG to WED 23 AUG

Pet Terry · Wed 02/08/2006 22:13:28

I'll bring a game or two from my game collection, or do like I did last year and buy a cheap prize at the airport. This year I'll try to pick the easiest questions!

Hahaha

Awesome! Well whatever you can donate is appreciated, Peterri!

Disco · Thu 03/08/2006 17:30:20

I have brought a Serenity DVD, which is serious as it is like me giving my own arm up for a prize. I will buy another copy for myself the day I arrive home, no doubt

matt, me and disco aren't flying into barcelona we'll be there already. We're travelling by train

Also we do need a lift back to barcelona as we are on the same return flight to the UK as everyoone else.

Also water park yay, I haven't been swimming in 3 years so I'll need to buy some swimming shorts or see if I actually own any

A quick idea, would anyone be up for seeing a bull fight if they still do them?

m0ds · Thu 03/08/2006 21:36:28

Water park should be great! As should Melt the Limit 2!!!

Becky · Fri 04/08/2006 09:04:55

We're going to a water park

Whoohoo! though swimming trunks are one of the things I forgot to pack, I have some other shorts that will work just as fine.

No, never.

Nacho · Fri 04/08/2006 13:58:10

I've thought about the idea of taking you to the Plaza, because it's still used for some events... I thought it could be risky to take the guys to a "real" bullfight, because it might be a non suitable spectacle if you are not used to it, but there could be some "dribbling" bull events that doesn't include anything sharpen or pointy that could harm the animal. We'll see, I am not sure of the events in the Plaza that weekend.

Pet Terry · Fri 04/08/2006 14:05:02

We ARE still going to Terra Mitica though, right? At least those of us who want to go, it would be stupid to travel all the way to Benidorm and then miss all those kickass rollercoasters and rides.

Nacho · Fri 04/08/2006 14:51:39

Sure, and again, with 50% of discount thanks to my managing abbilities...

(Which can be resumed into, Dad! Get discounts for my internet buddies!!!)

Becky · Fri 04/08/2006 17:02:58

I would personally not like to go see a bullfight.

Pumaman · Fri 04/08/2006 21:13:20

Bah you sissies ... whatever happened to embracing the local culture?

m0ds · Fri 04/08/2006 21:44:54

LOL, well this year we're seeing a bull fight AND smoking drugs - just for the Stalkey family's pleasure :p Nah seriously I don't have a problem if people want to go. I'm quite happy to go, so long as we get the shaded seats cos otherwise I'll melt! And so long as there's no etiquete and you can shout & cheer them on even if you don't know who they are or what they're really doing...

And thank you to Mr Nacho for getting us a discount!

jet - I can morph into Chrille whenever I choose, yes! :p

Aren't you guys getting a lift back to Barcelona with Goldmund?

I haven't hear anything from AGA, so Farlander can I take you up on your offer of a tent again :

Anything to help keep the luggage down on the car.

Nacho · Sat 05/08/2006 18:38:35

I think AGA has told to be alone in his one-man tent, but no problem, my tents will be here, no matter if you need them or not.

AGA · Sun 06/08/2006 01:18:02

Heard anything from me? I said right from the start my tent was a 1-man and nothing but

Radiant · Sun 06/08/2006 12:27:28

Ok, so there's four of us arriving in Alicante the afternoon of the 16th. We should probably meet up somewhere and bring large blue cups with us to recognize one another? Does anyone know Alicante airport and know of a convenient spot to gather in?

Pet Terry · Sun 06/08/2006 13:05:05

Radiant, I compiled a brief list earlier in this thread, dunno if you missed it.

Quote from: Petteri on Thu 27/07/2006 21:01:57
Here's a list of people who are coming via Alicante airport and meeting up (in order of arrival):

6:45 Sinitrena
13:25 Petteri
14:10 Helm
16:00 Grundislav
16:45 Radiant
17:20 Chrille

Naturally we'll be waiting for everyone in front of the hall of arrivals when they arrive. You'll recognize me of longish brown hair and an A4-sized Bluecup poster + way too much clothes to wear in Spain. There's a bus leaving from the airport at 17:30 so we'll probably miss it briefly. The next bus to Benidorm would leave around 21:00 (!), so Grundislav and I were planning that we could take a bus to Alicante city and another bus from there to Benidorm. Grundislav and Lorena know more about this route.

So I've got a Bluecup poster I try to keep visible around the time people arrive, but I have no idea what kind of a place/how big the airport is. The best bet would be to gather around the arrival hall around the time people arrive and meet them as soon as they step out, or?
