Mittens Benidorm 2006 - WED 16 AUG to WED 23 AUG

[Nacho]

If there is not, I can lend a laptop, he can write his no sense articles, and when it's done, send it to Polandia from my home.

[m0ds]

Unfortunately, I AM DEFINITE!!!1

Awesome Because I have been a "good boy" in college and my parents were so impressed with me winning 3 awards last night, they have bought the ticket for me. All I have to concentrate on is spending money

I'm doing the Luton - Barcelona thing, too.

[Pet Terry]

YAY!

Dude, glad to hear about that! See you there!

[Pumaman]

Great stuff m0ds, what awards did you win?

So, the only person in the Barcelona posse remaining to book is Spleen -- are you still coming?

[m0ds]

I won 3 very nice Oscar looking statues for some of my college video productions! best factual programming, best advert & best male 2006 - phat! :p


I have a question - I wonder if anyone has completely figured out the costs this holiday will incur? These costs being specifically:

The cost of the train, Barcelona to Benidorm & back

The cost of camping, including the rental of a tent

Also what aers our Barcelona plans? Will we go back a day early to explore Barcelona like Greece or anything? Because we arrive quite late at night, right? I'm all up for drinking that night away, though! :p

Yaaay! Im excited

Price of the campsite... Per day, taxes included, quite explanative...

Euromed Barcelona-Alicante, 35-55â,¬, plus 4 aprox. for the bus from Alicante to Benidorm.

People with TENT. Please, post it here, with the capacity, and if you have any special request, even the groups you formed in other mittens if all your buddies attend this year again (Special requests: I'd like to go alone, I'd like NOT to share tent with M0ds, I'd like to go with a female, etc...)

I need to know how to distribute the tents in the parcels. 

[Becky]

Adam and I do not find the site self-explanatory!  Are we charged by person, by tent, or by tent and person? o_O

Adam has one tent, two person capacity, and I am sharing it with him.

[Nacho]

There is a tent icon, so, the price beside means: Price by tent by day. And there is a little person icon, which means: Price per person by day.

So, let's imagine. The price per tent is 5, and per person is 5, as well.

If you have a "sigle" tent, you pay 5+5 per day.

If you have a tent with 2 people cappacity, and you bring your boyfriend, you pay: 5 per person, and 5 for the tent. But you are TWO people to pay the tent, so, the price for you it's going to be 2.5.

If you are 10 people in a tent, you'll pay 6 euros per day

ERGO, the more people per tent, the better.

[Radiant]

Okay. And what would be the cost to get a cute Spanish girl in the tent?

[Grundislav]

I only have a sleeping bag.Ã,  So that means if any generous soul will take me into their tent, I'd appreciate it!

I don't take up much space, I don't snore or fart or anything, I'm an ideal tent-mate!

[Chrille]

I have a shite tent that I do not want to bring. I'll most likely buy or rent one down there. If I get a big enough one I could share it with you, Grundislav. Or rather I would have if you'd been the farting kind!!!

I don't snore either. At least, I've never been told I do.


Markypoo: Great to hear you'll be at this years mittens after all! I promise I'll be more careful what I take photos of this year for my own sake

[AGA]

My tent is a 1-man. I am not sharing it with anyone non-female!

[Disco]

Who's that leggy man with the mousey hair, sleeping with nothing but a duffel bag to lay his head on? why it's Disco of course  . He needs....I mean I need a place to sleep during Mittens V. I don't need much as you can tell by the photo, just a porch if necessary. If anyone wants to save money by sardining, I'm with you .

[Nacho]

Ok... At least 100 parcels will be free for that time, so, I told the guy "If you are so sure there will be place, why don't you book in this special case for this people coming, some of them, from other continents?" and he agreed. Parcels confirmed and booked.

NO TENTS FOR HIRE, but I'll see if I can get a couple or three with 4 places each...

Layabout

I have bad news as for the "possible coming". The posibles are divided into the ones that want to come, in the early mittens call, but secretelly think they won't be able to(*), and the ones that really want and really try to come. I am sure Darth Mandarb is in this second case, and he is attempting to get holidays in summer... But as he's the latest one who joined the enterprise, seems unlikely that his boss is going to give him the ultra-demmanded-summer holidays. So, he is in the "not very likely to come" group.

I still need info about Spleen, Finkerstein and Mr. C...

(*) No offence for the AGSers who staled their intention to come at the early mittens call, undestand me please...Ã,  Ã, 

[Chrille]

In a tent of 2:
Farlander and Lorena
Adam and Becky
Goldmund and Blazej.

Hooray! Split personalities! This is going to be the best Mittens ever!

[Nacho]

Oh, come on! I am open to exchange girlfriends, and I am sure Adam and Goldmund too, but girls have this weird things, they don't share their man... What can I do?!? 

[Goldmund]

Nacho, I think Chrille is speaking about Goldmund's love-hate affair with Blazej.

Wait a moment, who is writing this?!

[Sinitrena]

Alone:
AGA
Sinitrena? I pressume correctly?

I'll bring a two-man tent and I'm willing to share it with anybody (It doesn't matter for me if this person is male or female, I don't take things like that too serious)

[Nacho]

I have news... I am not very open to share this, because I want you to look for GOOD, BIG tents...Ã, 

But I have in my own a box with 10 propaganda-shitty-one-man tents. The pro is that, hey, this is Benidorm, and mittens will be in August... We will probably even sleep outdoors, no matter if the tent is shitty, this is not Himalaya...

The problem... As much people you put per tent, the better... Also, we'll have to pay per parcels (I think 18 euros per day, not a big deal since we'll be able to put a lot in people in each parcel), so, bigger tents=less wires=more people per parcel=less parcels to hire=less euros to pay. So, please, people, go on asking to your relatives for big tents... if you want to pay less.Ã, 

EDIT: For the people coming in Euromed... Quintaros, you'll probably be able to get a bus Valencia-Benidorm... Can you tell us more about your intentions? Bus? Train?



EDIT 2: Lorena wants me to mention that it's been she the one who made the map...Ã, 

[Pumaman]

At least 100 parcels will be free for that time, so, I told the guy "If you are so sure there will be place, why don't you book in this special case for this people coming, some of them, from other continents?" and he agreed. Parcels confirmed and booked.

Excellent, good work Farlander


I still have my 2-man tent from last year, and assuming it hasn't been eaten by moths I could probably dig it out and bring it with me.
