The Swiss VTers tried very hard to find a suitable date for a Swiss meeting. Unfortunately, not all of us can make it but still we'll have a great time. So, we hope you can join us for this summer trip!

Meeting time: 11 am
Meeting place: the red "group" meeting point in the main hall of the Hauptbahnhof (photo will follow)

Programm:
Walk to the lake and take the ship to Rapperswil (SG). On the ship we can eat lunch and enjoy a leisurely cruise. In Rapperswil, a city with a pretty Old Town section and a castle, we will do some sightseeing and maybe have an ice cream. Later we travel back to Zurich by S-Bahn.

If you don't have a ticket you can buy a 9 o'clock pass which is CHF 23.00 full price. It is valid in the Canton of Zurich all day on a Saturday for all public transport.

Meet about midday at the Shepards Arms Hotel in Tinakori Road, Thorndon. Have a spot of lunch (soup about $9, fish and chips about $21 and range of snacks like nachos.)Glass of wine, glass of beer etc etc.
If we feel energetic after lunch we could stroll in the Lady Norwood Rose Garden or explore the cute winding back streets of Thorndon.

I search for you across all Earth and I can not find. Where you? In what country? On August, 5th there will be my Birthday. Very much I want, that on this holiday we were together. And not only this day. Always! Find me, the darling

I shall be in London for 3 days next week. If anyone wants to meet up for drinks on Wed 06/08 drop me a line. I'm keen on going to some bar where I can watch live rock bands playing.

Anyone want to meet in central Kabul for dinner August 6th?
I am coming to Kabul for the first time and would really like to get together with people for a relaxed evening/information exchange.

Anyone fancy a Camping weekend at Cae Du Campsite,Tywyn,Gwynedd North Wales on the 8th - 10th August?

The campsite is situated 14 miles West of Machynlleth and is overlooking the beach at Tywyn, it's very close to the mountains in the Snowdonia National park and the many Castles of North Wales. The weekend can be as active or non-active as you like although fun must be had by all. I propose bbq's, open fires & a few drinks to get the party started.

Sign up now for the great open air VT party..... :-)

All Carolinians and Virginians, Georgians, hell anywhere in the South: Pay heed! A VT meet is in the making. Apparently there haven't been many (if ANY!) VT meets in the NC area, so be a part of VT History! Come one - come all... bring guests and your great travel spirit!

Hi everyone. HarShe (Harsha) is visiting Perth on a fleeting business trip from Melbourne and would like to meet up with us locals. So I thought we would put on the friendly Perth charm and give him a warm welcome down at our local waterhole - The Lucky Shag Pub on the water front opposite the Bell Tower.

Day is Sunday 24th August and time - any time after 4pm.

If you are passing through, why not come & join us for a few drinks and then possibly dinner somewhere after that. Hope to see you all there!

Cheers, Ann :o)

I will go to Mexico D.F. august 23rd. Should spend few days in the area, then go north. I will go back to take my plane on september 12th.

Hi there all. We have a distinguished guest visiting us here in Devon on Tuesday 26th and Weds 27th August and I reckon we should give her a prapper Devon welcome.

Nothing is yet planned but I reckon a drink somewhere and a bite to eat would be good.

If anyone (stranger or "fiend") fancies joining us I reckon we could have a good night out.

Interested?

Either add yourself here or mail me at my VT address and I'll update as things fall into place.

Cheers, John.

This restaurant is going on vacation and in order to get the fridge empty, they sell every dish for half of the ordinary price after 05.00pm on thursday August 28th.

Well hello there all the VT members, either residents or visitors to Dubai. I am posting on Behalf of Hamed (VT name smarty29) which this meeting was his idea. We are planning a get-together for Friday August 29th, 2008 to be started at 8:00 P.M. in Irish Village. The meeting is almost before starting the Holy month of Ramadan (for the Hijri year of 1429). Irish Village is one of the best meeting places in my opinion and they have a wide range of food and beverages on their Menu.
If you are interested to attend please sign in so we can arrange a table in advance. The meeting is planned for the purpose of having some friendly chat, lots of laugh, taking a delicious food and probably shooting some photos to be our memory for the coming years and possibly forever :-). To make it easier for everybody, please check their official web site which a location map and contact details of the club is available on the site. Their URL is as following:

http://www.irishvillage.ae/

The Location map URL:

http://www.irishvillage.ae/contact_us/map/


The Aviation Club is situated on the north side of Al Garhoud Bridge adjacent to the Emirates Airlines Training Centre. Tel: 04 / 2824750/2
Ample car parking is available.

You all take care and hopefully will see you all in the meeting :-)

****IMPORTANT NOTICE****
Because of the heat I will get indoor of the Irish Village as they have aircondition. I try to find a table so will sit there until all the members get in and then maybe we can bring and join two tables together so it can accommodate more individuals. Preferebly on the smokers side of the indoor section!! :-) So when arriving at or about 8:00 P.M. just get inside the Pub and look for members table.

This is de mail I sent to some of you via email for this afternoon. Please sms me if you can be there! Thanks, hope to see you.

Hi There all!

Very nice that you want to come and looking forward meeting you!

Jennifer gave us a good tip for to have a drink:

Palate Palette Restaurant & Bar
21 Jalan Mesui, off Jalan Nagasari
50200 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
www.palatepalette.com

My colleague Paul Koning made reservations for us at 15.30 hrs.on Saturday the
30th!
Please allow me to invite you and pay for a few drinks and snacks! (well my
colleague Paul; -)

As you know are doing this for a TV programme. So when we meet you will find out
that it is not just me, but also 4 other people from the TV crew: Paul, Han,
Oscar and Edwin. All relaxed relatively young ;-) and outgoing people. Just to
give you an impression: I would like just to attend this ?ordinary? meeting and
the camera will follow this(so no acting necessary). I will ask you some
questions about your daily life and maybe some tips about Malaysia or Kuala
Lumpur. And I will share some of my (travel) experiences if you?re interested.

At a certain moment it may occur -not to be rude- that we need to leave as we
have some sort of schedule to follow.

At the moment we will be with 4 members, so would be nice if some more people
can come, please let me know if you bring somebody or if other VT members will
join in.

For me this is a new thing, but as I mentioned before, such a great way to get
to get to know some new people and experience Kuala Lumpur!

My colleague Paul has a cell phone (international) also possible to sms of
course:
+31 6 1586 8056

See you Saturday!

Dear VT members,

My name is Sebastiaan Labrie and work for a Dutch travel programme "3 Op Reis" (translated: Channel 3 travels). In each episode we travel across the world in search of unknown and inspiring travel destinations. The programme is broadcasted on the third public channel in the Netherlands.

I read about the VT meetings that are organized all over the world, what a great way to meet people and different cultures and get to know a place!

At the end of August we (myself and a camera crew) will be in Kuala Lumpur, therefore I would love to meet some people from KL or fellow travelers before continuing my trip. Would be great to exchange some tips about this -in my idea- fascinating and interesting city!


Date and Time: Saturday August 30, 15.00 hrs

Place: Somewhere in the center of KL, suggestions are welcome!

If you are in ´town´, and speak English or Dutch please sign up and let's have a drink!

Best Regards,
Sebastiaan Labrie


Ps: To get an idea about our programme, check our website: www.3opreis.nl
Or our broadcast company: www.llink.nl
