Ciao!

Hey ya Michelle,

Would love to show you round!. Though I'm not sure what part of London I'll be yet as my bro (who I was gonna stay with) has like picked the most inconvenient time to go to Scotland!! So a backpackers vaguely near the pick up point it is!

Give us a yell on here or my e-mail (klumpers@yahoo.co.nz) if / when you'd like to be shown round. Is there anything in particular you'd like to see round London area? For meself - I'm thinking Big Ben's a must (just to be tacky) and a trip out to stone henge Red FaceD

hmmm ... Athens or the greek Islands ... anyone out there got a point of view on that?

-Alex

Hey guys,

How are we?!
I arrive at Heathrow about 2.30pm on the 21st. Anyone fancy meeting up later in the afternoon for dinner then the meeting once I've dropped my stuff off at hotel? Save me being alone on first night of holiday, haha!

Cheers

Ang

Hey Michelle,

How long do you plan to stay in Athens? Just the 2 nights or possibly longer? I'm not sure meself - want to explore the Acropolis in particular, and maybe head off on a boat to Santorini but that may be a bit pricey ...


Angela - I'm free after lunch (with me bro Smiler on the 21st so if you'd still like company flick me a mail or reply Smiler



See ya all soon!
Smiler

Hey everyone!

Will post this in all 3 forums so hopefully everyone will see it!

So yea I was thinking of going for dinner before the meeting on Monday night? The best place I can think of to meet outside Russell Square tube station? I don't know where there is to eat round about there so though we could meet and just go from there.
Say 5.30pm?
Invitation open to anyone!

Alex, is it the Astor Museum Hostel on Montague Street you are staying? Thats where I'm staying, name is similar!

Cheers

Angela Smiler
