There is still one room left at the pension. There are direct flights to PRague from all over Europe for around $250 roundtrip. UK Dopers can choose Stansted or Manchester with Easyjet, bmibaby or BA. Hostels and other hotels can be found for you last minute types
Yes: Somebody else please pleaseplease come to the pension, so we can split a room! If you share a room with me, you pay the low, low price of EUR 55 for the whole weekend*. Your package includes the exclusive PragueDope activities, hanging out with such celebrities as Tomcat, Maastricht, and more, and two nights in a room with wolfstu, who doesn’t scream, steal, or argue (much). Book now! There’s only one spot left for this limited-time offer!
:: Tries to look helpless and lonely ::
Friday and Saturday nights.
(Anybody know how far ahead you need to book to have a chance of getting a hostel?)
wolfstu, did you check the email address I sent you? Just reserve something now, you can always cancel. It is a cool hostel right near Old Town Square with a cool history.
So envious…have fun…and beer? You mean that stuff that looks like beer but is actually 198 proof alcohol and will have you naked, standing on a table and doing the bunny hop after two glasses?
Take pictures. Post them for all to see. Wish I could be there!
wolfstu, as stated, I’m aiming for 9 AM at Liège Guillemins. It’s been a while since I was in Belgium’s ugliest city (but awfully nice if you know where to go!), but as memory serves, there’s some parking spaces outside the main entrance (center side). I’ll try and be right about there. Do you have a cell phone, by any chance? If you don’t, then don’t panic when I’m not there yet, I’m probably trying to get into Liège together with 200,000 others.
To everyone else: since all or most of us are at the Josephina pension, that seems like a good enough place to rendez-vous, right? Traffic permitting, we should be able to be there in the last part of the afternoon, so maybe 18:00 on Friday is a good enough time to kick the party off?
You bet. There are trains from Leuven that arrive at Liège-Guillemins at 0853 and 0902. I’ll be on one of those. I’ll be wearing a dark blue coat with burgundy collar (here I am wearing it - I’m the guy sitting under the map) and the Sandvik logo. Plus I’ll have a valise with an embroidered Canadian flag sewn onto the front. (Okay, you probably knew what that one looks like )
It looks like I may be able to room with mkl12, so I can stay at the Josephina Pension after all! Pillowfights for everyone!
