Ok i have found a resort, i have found a coach i know the root to take now we just need people to come along
The holiday will be on for 1 week in Feb 2003 so go pencil in on ur calender that ur busy that week!
A coach will start from Birmingham England, then driver from here to dover, where anyone who is comming from england that is not starting off in birmingham can get picked up. so people like Thunder if he was to come, it would likely be easier for him to be in dover than Birmingham. Then over the channel to Calais, anyone from france would have to meet the coach there, so Venom if u want to come that would be your pickup point, then onward down into Germany where we would meet at an airport to collect anyone from anywhere else in the world that wants to come, so u people meet there we collect you from there, and onward to Austria, pick people up from there if there is any, then finally one last collection point at the top of Italy before arriving at Falcadi in the italian alps.
How does that seem to people?
1) Birmingham
2) Dover
3) Calais
4) Leon (possibly)
5) Germany
6) Austria
7) italy
8) Falcadi
if u want to do it signup here, i need minimum of 25 people to signup to do this, and it is likely to cost £300 - £400 which includes the coach, 2 drivers, accomodation, ski lift passes, breakfast and ski's and stick hire.
Any questions?
EDIT:
People who have reserved a place are:
Avenger spa|ce Thunder
Darkage
CptWhite
Thorn
KillMeNow

Aargh... I could have come, but just around that time I'm buying a car in Germany and driving it down to Greece. So I just say hello to some of you in Germany or Italy since I'm driving from Germany, via Switzerland and through the alps to Italy where I'm gonna take the ferry. Damn, if Ya would have mentioned this earlier I would have added it into my vacation. Oh well... (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif)

Can I move in with one of you lot so I can go? I promise my wife and I don't take up much room... okay. We take up a lot, with all our computers and stuff.
I was born in Germany and travelled all over Europe when I was but a wee lad, but that was more than twenty years ago. I dearly wish I could go back and join you lot.

people from america or anywhere in the world are welcome to come, but u just have to get to a pickup point, so that cost is for u to worry urself about, exact dates arnt worked out but, it would be cool if u could come

Funny. Many of us Germans don't buy a car here, since they are quite expensive.
Sorry, Avenger. I've had hollidays from July to now, but now life has to continue.
-
not even in 2003?
-
oh yea forgot to mention u get a discount if u are between 16 and 28!!!
-
Sorry can't go in 2003 i'm working, i'l be sailing at sea

I was over there for a few days about two years ago (near Frankfurt Main for switching airplanes) and I saw lots of cars actually, the same type of thing that can be seen here in the US, but there were quite a few motorcycles and scooters on the streets as well. Are two-wheelers common for domestic transportation over there?
-
I'll probably be dead from alcohol poisioning, or a drug overdose. But if I'm not, hey sure! I'll find a way over there...

Yeah, how much is the discount.Im 16 this year so in theory i'll be able to go. It really depends on what things are like around the start of 2003.
-
In the first thread we had a mimnimum age for our travlers dunno if it still is but i think everyone that wants to come should come.

Yeah, but here in Finland, add 200-300% tax ontop of that price. I'm not joking. The mercedes C-Class I'm buying, with only a 200 compressor, in Finland costs about 76,666€ or $68,656 for the people who don't know how much the Euro is. A Dodge Viper costs over here about $194,026 or 218,487€. Finland has one of the highest car taxes in the world! Its crazy! (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/mad.gif)

Well Avenger said 16-28 get discounts so i assume 16 year olds could go, as they are by definition adult.

Vipers have to be shipped overseas though (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
Mercedes don't (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
And that Mercedes isnt much more than a new Corvette would cost...
mmmmm... 'Vette....
-
the price is with discounts, if ur outside that age then it is gonna cost more. Why are we talking about cars? we dont need cars, we have the coach to take us everywhere, it is staying with us all week
-
Whoops, sorry... My bad. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)
-
Bah! I live in the states, so headin' over would be costy. (let alone trying to get out of the juvenile prison system they pretend is public schooling in Washington State (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif) )
But if they allowed snowboarding it'd be fun for an idea in the summer (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)
