Mittens Benidorm 2006 - WED 16 AUG to WED 23 AUG

[Nacho]

I had quite assumed that anyone of the drivers and me were going to pick you, guys...

[Adamski]

Hurrah then!

[Chrille]

Ok, I guess that's everyone. I'll send a PM with the list immediatley.

[m0ds]

Mittens initiates very soon!!! Yaay!

For a minute I thought I was going tomorrow!

BTW, not sure if those travelling from Luton have checked, but here's the latest "emergency" information - http://www.london-luton.co.uk/emergency.asp

Carry-on allowed again, but maybe only from Tuesday in some places: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4789593.stm

[scotch]

Easyjet are already allowing it, http://www.easyjet.com/EN/News/down_graded_security_threat.html but there are tighter size restrictions than usual. Also they're still cancelling flights... so far not on our route though.

[m0ds]

Please can we take the motorway to Mittens and not crazy back-roads! More bugging about this on the day :p

[Quintaros]

Well my travel plans have been impacted by recent events.Ã,  One of my connecting flights was cancelled so I'm currently waiting for my booking company to get back to me regarding alternative flight options.Ã,  I'm not holding my breath at this point and think its quite likely that all they'll offer me is a refund.Ã,  I'm very disappointed at that prospect.

[Nacho]

Oh! Bummer! Good luck Quintaros... 

[Pumaman]

Well, the cable guy was more efficient than I expected, so I'm back, with just hours to spare!

Thanks for that drivers document Nacho, looks really useful
Has anyone else on the Barcelona Crew already printed it out? I don't want to do so myself if we already have a copy.

Our flight departs Luton at 18:45, so due to the checkins closing earlier and all the extra disruption, it would probably be a good idea to try and get there by 16:00, just to be sure that the flight doesn't leave with us still queueing at checkin...

[m0ds]

I'll be there by 16.15.

And, MOTORWAYS!

ps - I have not printed the document because I can't

[Pumaman]

Nacho, what is your full name, in case we need it to enter the camp site?

Also, do you know what the parking situation is like? Will we have to pay to park there?

And, MOTORWAYS!

We'll discuss that tomorrow!

[Helm]

All set (early too). I will embark on my journey tomorrow  (welll, very very early the day after tomorrow to be exact), and on arrival, having failed to spot you in or around the Arrival Hall, I will call Petteri or Sinatrena and complain about my lack of royal welcoming. That is all.

[Nacho]

My complete name is Juan Ignacio Ayala... And apparently the parcels have space for the cars since they are 80 m2. The guy at the reception told me "No problem! No problem! we'll see it all when they arrive!" He was a bit stressed, and harsh... 

I didn't want to mention that we were the VIPS...

So, as soon as you are close to Benidorm, call me, and I'll go to rendezvouz with my motorped, with the 2005 away kit of FC Barcelona, so you can locate me miles away... And I'll go with you to the campsite and arrange it all.

[Quintaros]

Disaster...averted.

My flights have been reworked so that I now will be arriving on the 16th rather than 15th.Ã,  That's actually what I wanted in the first place when I booked my flights back in February.

I'll be meeting up with the gang in Alicante airport by Arrival Hall around 16:00.

[Matt Goble]

Well, I think I've managed to jam everything into 1 bag...

Just enough time left to finalise the annual and burn off a couple of copies tomorrow - it looks like I won't be able to bring enough for everyone, so the British Contingent will have to give me their postal addresses and I'll send them when I get back!

[m0ds]

T-t-t-t-tiiiimee to go to Mittens!

See you all there!!!

And be good talk & chat forumers!!!

[Pet Terry]

My journey has already began!1 I'm at the airport in Helsinki at the moment, it seems I've been cursed to stay overnight at airports whenever I travel abroad to meet AGSers.

But it's all getting very exciting! Due to recent events in my life I haven't had the time to think about Mittens yet, but today it struck me when I was sitting in a bus: I'm going to Mittens and it'll be swell! I got very excited.

I had to leave quite fast, so I packed my luggage yesterday. Unfortunately, I remembered that I forgot to pack some of the stuff I was supposed to bring, including a copy of Runaway: The Road Adventure for the Mittens super quiz. Nothing too important though.

But anyways! See you guys tomorrow, I'll try to come up with something to do here. I suddenly feel like having a beer, and I don't even like beer.
