Western Germany Get-Together! Because...

This spring is unfortunately out of question for me because of tight money, but if this should become a tradition (like, every year or so :), I'm in for the next one(s).
 
Lots of things written since when I was last online! :-)

I haven't noticed any date suggestions yet, but I guess something from mid-April to mid-May/end of May might work? Depends on what people's plans are. I'm sure I'm off to Slovakia until 15 April, and I also wanted to go there in May, but that would only be one weekend and the date is not set yet. I suppose for Leontine it's "the sooner the better", so maybe end of April or something?

As for the location, I can adjust as long as there's a reasonable connection to the place chosen. If Brussels (with the possibility to go to Kim's place) are better for you, Leontine, I think we can do that. For me Brussels is fine and if there's a train connection to where Kim lives I think I can do it nicely. If we decide to go to Nika's, then I'll be most grateful to accept that drive offer.

I'm not sure how much Brussels is fine for Inga?

As for revealing info online - we can also move the discussion on the more concrete things to PMs or email. I think that might be sensible. :-)

Nika, I thought you were a little more up north, that's why I suggested Limburg.
I'll have to admit, the last time to Maastricht was 2 years ago, before the restructering of the A2, so it might me quicker.

Kim, are you 30km north of Brussels? It's sort of a straight line down for me, so it migh take me less than 2 hrs then.

And yes, the sooner the better!
 
I can't do anything until May. What with easter, DH's 40th birthday and some other stuff every weekend in April is booked. So if it needs to happen in April for Leontine I'll have to miss it. Most of May looks good, I just have to check which weekend we are going to the UK.
 
@Leontine: I sent you a pm

The weekends in April are already full here as well. So far, I think any weekend in May is fine.
 
The weekend of Mother's day might not work for me and the 5/6 also not because of Eric's birthday. OMG...I am making things hard...

Other wise I skip this one maybe....Eric was not to fond of the idea when I told him....
 
Oh yeah, Mother's day won't work for me either and I still don't have an answer to which weekend we are going to the UK.
 
20/21 might be ok for me....but rather the Sunday than the Saturday though.

April or May? Because 17-20 May I'm sure I'm on a short vacation because we have a 4-day weekend here.

Also, Luxembourg-Brussels-Kim's place is rather hard to do in one day, so I'd deffo prefer a Saturday with the possibility to a) find a hotel in Brussels or b) do it in one go but get some sleep the next day rather then go to work. It's 3-hour journey by train to Brussels alone for me, and I'm talking from experience, I did in in one go several times and was wasted each time - but it's still doable alright. But adding another place to the itinerary and still do it in one go seems too much for me.

Anyways - if by any chance I can't do it this time, I can do it the next time! It's very hard to get more people agree on one date, so I can totally understand. :-)

Don't worry, we will find a solution. In the extreme case I can do a Sunday, or whatever. If 4 other people agree on a date, I won't insist on a Saturday, or maybe I will skip this one and we'll do another one some day. :-) Let's see what happens.
