Yes, I was definitely excited about the meetup in Dusseldorf that I didn't mind waking up at 4:30 in the morning (I slept at 1:30, what the $&&*$*?!) to catch that 6am train that leaves the nearest train station here, which is located from another town and walking there takes me at least&nb…

Third and final part (for me) was the dinner at "Zollhof Trattoria" which is located in the media harbour. To make a long story short: we had a great dinner which resulted in an 2,000 Euro invoice! :-D After the dinner (0:30 am) some of the others went to a nearby club. Unfortunately I had to call …

After a fun night in the old city with the pre meetup group I was ready for another round. :DWe met at the mainstation and there were so many people. That was just too cool. Since we had to wait for another 4 guys I had the time to talk to a few new members who just arrived on that day.For example …

OMG..it certainly wasn't any warmer in Germany and we were going to be freezing our tail feathers off all night! LOL.  Sadly, our original reason for meeting up in Dusseldorf was to meet the infamous king of the chickens, Lauro, but due to important personal reasons, he was going to be out of …

Jos, Ouss and I went direct to the Hbf to meet the others, arriving at 4:45, just in time (or so we thought).  We waited for a while and had a chance to meet the other travbuddies as they gradually wandered in, with roll call coming around 45 minutes later.  Joining us here were kat_…

the last few years in germany, or to say in my part of germany, the weather is really really bad, save in 2007 that we experienced full drought in this area. spring is not spring and summer was not summer anymore, as it was always raining and if we have sun and warm weather it only lasts for 2-3 da…

Lauro wanted to organize a mini-meetup because he wanted to see me before I leave for my Brazilian trip :D Lauro THANKS for the biggest, greatest, funniest TB meetup ;-) Ps. Give me some time to 'vouche' :D

I didn’t sleep much on the flight…I was just too excited!!! But at least I had a person sitting next to me who was willing to lend me her ear, a student from Minnesota traveling to Ireland with a group for a class project. She was probably regretting sitting next to me by the time we landed, th…
