Pilot, How would your employer like to donate a flight to/from Europe? I dont know how many people one of your planes would hold but I would pay $1500 for a R/T to Brussels. Ten plus wives 21 people. $30K enough? Of course you would have to donate your time flying us there and back.

Lets go on a real cruise to St Petersburg and mother Russia that starts/ends in London. Covid permitting. I was reading that Europe is the center of the latest, biggest, breakout.

We're good thanks. This is the 4th time we've booked this cruise. It started out to be a celebration of our 35th anniversary, Di's 60th and Di's retirement...now it's just a vacation with a little pool sprinkled in. Lol

Don't commercial pilots have mandatory retirement max at 65?

Yes airlines, no commercial

 

[mr3cushion]

Oh!

Do I get a parachute? How many minutes do I have in the sea? Seems you’re singling me out for torment. Did you and Billie match up? Mitch the Beast?

When we were in San Francisco we would take a May cruise to Alaska for our anniversary.

This is a an email response i sent to one of you, regarding hotels

If taking 1 or 2 stairs is not a problem and your are with your partner
I would absolutely look at Fagel Boutique hotel
Perfect location, very nice rooms

Email:

Novotel is around the corner yes but

These are links to the same hotel, another one
http://salondenhaag.nl/

https://booking.roomraccoon.com/boutique-hotel-de-salon/nl/?&coupon=directs7.50
Its gonna cost i think 25 more per night, check pricing
But in the Hague its the best bang for your buck, very nicely situated, big beautiful rooms
One room downstairs, for others you need to take stairs
Dont know if thats a problem
But this one definitely recommended
Otherwise novotel is okay in that its close
But then again....
Same walking distance , this one nicer location
https://www.corona.nl/nl/
And this one 3 min longer walk but right across nations parliament building

So on this list i think i would put novotel 4th

Heard the Netherlands is currently Covid central.

yes we are on a roll
many positive, few hospitalized though
let's not get into that and just assume that in 10 months from now things will be better

We are all hoping the world recovers from this.

 

[Scrzbill]

The fifth wave has just started and as long as people refuse to do the things to stop it. Sixth wave will be next. To get any good prices, six months of advance planning is needed for a trip abroad.

However we may disagree about any and all Covid related things, let's not derail the thread. I will pull out any Covid related comments. Given 10 months away, nobody knows what the situation will be in 10 months here or in the Netherlands. The one comment that may be a reasonable factor, is that I believe it should be anticipated that there may be some kind of vaccine requirements for international travel in place even in 10 moths. But maybe they will also have alternative approvals, such as positive antibody tests, etc. But in any case, like the investors say, "past performance does not necessarily reflect future results" But I am not going to tolerate this thread being used for any kind of Covid debate.

 

[Espen]

Hopefully by next Sept Covid will be fading — please God seriously!!!

I second that…

Spent a night in a poolroom in Hamburg, Germany and met up with OnePocket Freunde North (read: local 1P and Bank enthusiasts). There are definitely 5 players joining next year. 4 of which will play in the Derby ‘22.

Would it be okay to attach sponsors name
So "sponsor name" onepocket.org members tournament
Not going to add prizemoney
But it would cover costs of a high quality streaming by orangeforks.com
?

Never done that before — maybe another way to prominently feature ?? Especially related to the stream since it sounds like they would be sponsoring the stream not the tournament.
