docblackrock Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 dont worry, there are airlines that let you smoke I think Yeah in your dreams Flew Air France last week, of anyone you'd think they'd hand out free Gitanes mid-flight. Not a chance. And rightly so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docblackrock Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 You need a more understanding wife Doc! Or a more understanding mistress Anyway, it's Ms DBR, not Mrs - not into the whole ring-party-legal document scene, she feels the same (so she says ha!) - actually on second thoughts, Antwerp is probably not the best idea, diamond capital of the world, no sense tempting fate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 I voted for Oz simply because no one else did, however I am realistic enough to understand that wont be happening. Hawaii would be a wonderful choice which could still be afforadble for us Aussie's but at the end of the day we do make up only a very small part of the membership and location does need to suit the majority of the members to make a world GTG successful. I think as Doc as stated a world GTG in the short term is not really feasible but if it was to go ahead I would suggest we couldn't pick a more interesting location than Gaungzhou, it is after all the centre of our hobby's universe, we also have many dealers and contacts there to see we can get the most affordable packages.

cornerstone Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Anyway, it's Ms DBR, not Mrs - not into the whole ring-party-legal document scene, she feels the same (so she says ha!) Yeah, the deal tends to change....right around the time of the first pre-natal class. Suddenly bling seems to take on a whole new level of importance. [i told her she could have one if I liked the kid - seems crazy not to try before you buy.... ] It might be an idea to have some regional GTG's simultaneously as a 'world GTG'.

scoobs1971 Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 How about New York, the BIG APPLE!? Would be great to be back in the Big A. Haven't been there since 2000 But I'm a bit hesistant to the current severe customs checkups. A few weeks ago it took my friends over 2 hours to get into the US and they searched everything. Not good with a big box full of reps . I don't know how it is for US residence to enter the EU........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FxrAndy Posted July 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 But looking at the poll results Europe is the most popular destination. I had an idea that this place would be nice, and the prices for the packages are very reasonable for where you are, There are loads of ADs on the main road by the river and the history there is astounding, also the location of casino royal. When i stayed there the accomodation in the package workd out about euros 50 per night (4 star) once you took into account of what you get in the package. Although it looks very posh (and it is) i fitted right in and i am not that posh, seamed very relaxed, got golfing for the golfers lots of things going on and if we had the take up i am sure that a buss trip to Prague could be arranged. The car park is where Bond had the Aston parked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
