June 30, 201016 yr Only a few more days! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssqqqquuuueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! Does anybody have suggestions for how much I should put on the Oyster card, considering I'll be there the whole time?
June 30, 201016 yr Don't know, mine has 5 pounds on it, but you can upload it any time. Maybe thus helps: http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tickets/14416.aspx
June 30, 201016 yr Don't tell me the picnic on the 10th will be in the evening, please! :uhoh: I only have time until about 5pm!! :cry: "Picnic" to me sounded more like something to do around / after noon? Hopefully it will be in the after-noon :)
July 1, 201016 yr Hopefully it will be in the after-noon :) I suggest early to mid afternoon as a start - almost a slightly late lunch :) (Though why shouldn't people start earlier, once the spot is chosen?!) And we do still need to choose a spot. Hampstead Heath is perfect, but it should be fairly close to the Tube/where everyone is staying/shops. And that way, those who wish to continue further into late afternoon/early evening/late evening/early night can do so (and with good weather sunset should be a specially magical time!! :dance:)
July 1, 201016 yr I'll get on it tonight when I get home from work (hopefully) otherwise you'll get it on Thursday evening (I'm going away), and I saw your PM, Pete, I'm answering as soon as I can! :) No rush, thanks Anna :)
July 1, 201016 yr I just looked at the weather forecast for all of next week, and the average temperatures will be 24C (75F) during the day, and 14C (57F) and night. And on average it looks like only a very small chance of rain. :wacky: Absolutely gorgeous weather!
July 1, 201016 yr I've seen that, too! :awesome: I'm packing at the moment and doing things like charging batteries, formatting memory cards etc... Will fly tomorrow. See you next weekend, guys! :kiss: Can't wait!
July 1, 201016 yr Monday, 5pm ? Jade, the time to meet each other is Monday 5 July at 14 o'clock. Anna posted this message somewhere in this thread.
July 1, 201016 yr Jade, the time to meet each other is Monday 5 July at 14 o'clock. Anna posted this message somewhere in this thread. She said 5 pm in a PM. :thinking:
July 1, 201016 yr She said 5 pm in a PM. :thinking: JADE: The question of the time for the first meeting was debated in this thread. Please see AnnaElisabeth's post no. 488 on page 33 : The first meeting is still at 14 o'clock. In post 489 on page 33 AnnaElisabeth explains that the meet-up starts on 5 July - and the misunderstanding about 5 must come from that.
July 1, 201016 yr That is alright, Jade. But nice to know. Anna / SueDeNimes posted somewhere that she would join us Saturday 10.7 where the picnic is on.
July 2, 201016 yr I'm guessing I'll be the first one to arrive to the hostel (I should be there Sunday morning, probably before they even let me check in). How will we communicate to each other when we arrive (or are about to arrive)? Just post it here?
July 2, 201016 yr That would probably be the easiest thing, Carrie. It would be too time consuming for me to e-mail my number to everyone, so here it is.. :P +4.6.7.0.9.6.0.8.0.8.5 Please get in touch if there are any problems or whatever. I'm in the middle of packing but I'm going to post some last minute things tonight or tomorrow morning.
July 2, 201016 yr I'm thinking of getting a British pay as you go-card so I can text or call my parents in Sweden cheaply. Do you all think that might be a good idea?
July 2, 201016 yr Anna are you sure your number's correct? Shouldn't the second number be a 4 too? Also, I think it's safer to post numbers on the meet-up group rather than out here in public...
July 2, 201016 yr This is probably a weird question but... For those of you who are staying in the hostel, do you plan to do laundry at their facility? Or are you just bringing new clothes for each day? I just want to make sure I pack appropriately.
July 2, 201016 yr Carrie, I think I'm gonna bring clothes for the whole visit. :)Follow-up question: how many bags of luggage are you bringing? I don't know if I can cram everything into one suitcase... :sick: I think I'm gonna bring my own towel. But do we need to bring our own shampoo?I'm assuming we need to bring our own shampoo, that's what I'm doing. I'm aslo bringing my own soap just in case. Goodness, I think I'm going to spend all night packing and double-checking everything!
July 2, 201016 yr OK, I'll do that too then. :) I don't know what to bring besides clothes and money!
