QuoteOriginally posted by: outrun The last time I played more than once a year was 10 years ago. Time to see if "Betty blue" is still straight I cannot shoot straight anymore, but I have this theory that excessive drinking will compensate. Kind of like two wrongs making a right...

On my plans: It is too far ahead to say at the moment - we tend to fly by the seat of the pants around here. Will have a more accurate picture in Early May.What are the volcanoes in Iceland planning for the spring?

Is everybody going with a spouse/partner? I initially planned to go alone and hoped to join other guys traveling from London. Same about the choice of the hotel... Would anyone like to join me? (I'm also thinking about staying for the following weekend for sightseeing.)

(I'm also thinking about staying for the following weekend for sightseeing.)I look forward to seeing everyone there, but may have a bit of jet lag, unless I come in a few days early, so I will probably keep a bit of space around me on the Amsterdam leg of the journey.However, we will see about a trip to the east, if we have not killed each other (or anyone else) by the time the ESA tour is over!

I'd love to come by here but during a week it will be hard. I've changed my job towards a more "military one" and Defense department is not known to be very friendly for holidays. My questions: Are some of you guys who push the travel into the week end? I can't be here in Thursday or Friday but it will be a pleasure to meet some of you on Saturday or Sunday.There are some nice people I've met in the past that I want to remeet again and an even bigger number of people I've never seen I'd kill to meet
