[dwsewbiz]

Wow, sounds like a fabulous trip!! Have a wonderful time, oh you will have so many pictures!!

 

[taxed4ever]

ONA !!! I want to come with you:becky: So when do you stop over in Canada??

 

[wombat146]

I wish Trudy, I wish!!!!

 

[sue.falstaff]

Oh my goodness, Ona ... I'm exhausted just reading such a fabulous itinerary!!!! I can't wait to meet IRL ... eeeeeekkk!!!!!

Sooooo, either Tuesday 5th June or Friday 15th June or Saturday 16th June are possibilities for me (need to check staffing situation at work for the Tuesday or Friday) ... I'm guessing a weekday would be better for Selena, but I'm sure she'll wade in at some point on this ... ooooh I'm getting excited just thinking about it!!!!

 

[AmberR]

WOW!!! what a crazy, exciting trip! sort of bummed, you'll be in Germany, but not my neck of the woods. Maybe better that way, the S. Germans aren't very friendly.

 

[Dady]

Ona it is fabulous this journey :wave: I would like I could go into your suitcase LOL.
I wish you a dream journey and many photos

 

[Dumpty]

OMG Ona ... such a great trip !!!!
And now can I find a good reason to be in Paris for that week-end ... not so sure but if I can I'll holler

 

[Ellen]

what a trip, you're managing to get so much in.
mm can i use this as an excuse to come to Prague?

 

[LaurieW]

Wow- I thought my vacation was wonderful- but what an amazing trip you have planned. How will you pack enough shoes??? (I always over pack)

 

[faerywings]

What, no New jersey leg??? :Cry:

Have a wonderful and terrific trip and I hope that you get to meet up with many of the O-Fam!

 

[tanteva]

Oh, I wish I could pop over to the U.K. and meet up with you girls. Now to decide whether to buy a lottery ticket or rob a bank .... ???

 

[sue.falstaff]

What, no New jersey leg??? :Cry:

Have a wonderful and terrific trip and I hope that you get to meet up with many of the O-Fam!

I'm coming over to New York in October, Chris ... my USA geography is dreadful, but New Jersey's close to New York isn't it??!?!?

 

[faerywings]

Yes!!! You'll be in NYC? About an hour from me, no traffic.

 

[sue.falstaff]

Yup ... a friend & I are doing a 4 night city break to New York, we're staying a block or two from Time Square and we're planning on doing the whole tourist thing ... visiting all the key attractions, eating at a diner, carriage ride in Central Park, Statue of Liberty, eating hotdogs and generally have an ace time!

Do you fancy meeting for a coffee (or tea in my case)? :tea:

 

[Alegna]

What an amazing trip you will have, I hope you have a lot of fun

 

[whatnext]

eeeeee! what a Grand Tour!! have an absolutel BALL!

 

[clarabear]

Wow Ona!! That trip alone sounds amazing...and fitting in some O-Fam in all of that? Wow!!!

 

[timounette]

What a trip !!!
Why don't I leave in Paris ???
I hope you'll have chance to meet Sue and Selena... but you'd have to take a photo for us

 

[dlhoffer]

WOW, that sounds incredible Ona!!! Hope you have an amazing time & take lots & lots of photos so I can live vicariously through your adventures aris

 

[VickiStegall]

I can do 5th June as it's half term that week. It's also the Diamond Jubilee holiday too!!! So Sue, no work that day! Dun mind popping down to London . Always lovely to meet online friends IRL. Let me know so I can book a train ticket early.

Ohhh Ona, you are gonna have one heck of a holiday!

 

[wombat146]

WOW!!! what a crazy, exciting trip! sort of bummed, you'll be in Germany, but not my neck of the woods. Maybe better that way, the S. Germans aren't very friendly.

awww, I think you always look very friendly to me sweetie!!!! xx

 

[wombat146]

OMG Ona ... such a great trip !!!!
And now can I find a good reason to be in Paris for that week-end ... not so sure but if I can I'll holler

ooh Marie, that would sooo lovely!! hope you can swing it!!! I am pretty sure Soco is coming sometime! Just not sure what the tour entails in the evenings for June 2nd and 3rd, or on the Monday we will still be in Paris so maybe lunch or mid morning?? we most probably will be catching the train in the early afternoon to London. Perhaps you can PM me your mobile number if you want to??

oh goody!! Audrey that would be wonderful if you could come along as well!!! but I think I will leave it to you Brit girls to work a suitable day/time?? You can then just tell me where I have to be!!! :biggrin: or maybe even meet at the hotel we are staying at for lunch or something, we are at the Marble Arch so don't know what it is like, its location or anything. So I think the planning is up to you guys!!

 

[petey111]

I don't see Omaha on that list!!!

 

[trista]

Ona you will need a vacation from your vacation! I know you will have a wonderful trip, but I don't see a stop in Texas on that itinerary. Stay safe!!

 

[wombat146]

Sorry Sara and Trista!! If I could, I would be there on your doorstep in a second!! :biggrin:

 

[clarabear]

awww, I think you always look very friendly to me sweetie!!!! xx

That's cuz she's not S. German...but from my neck of the woods.
