Anyone around when I'm in the US ??

Postby Reidar Andersen » Fri Feb 05, 2010 12:08 pm

Hi

I ( with wife ) am in the US 4-5 times a year. DEFINITELY zero business trip, just fun/nonsense/vacation... Just got an idea
that I announce my dates, in case of any of you guys I now know well is around..

Maybe a chat and a beer ( yes ) [cheers.gif] very informal..

So next will be NYC March 12th to March 16th... Hello, anyone out there.. :clap:

Reidar,

It would be great to hook up with you during one of your USA visits. I am on the W. coast and if you are planning to come in this direction it would be great to meet. You could come by the house for dinner with your family if you'd like. Let me know anytime.

And if you ever go to central Europe (Gemany, Austria, Switzerland) then PLEASE let me know early... [beg.gif]
And besides German beer we could of course have a little Madeira [1974_eating_popcorn.gif]
By the way, my first impression of this little guy with the popcorn was that he was sort of taking a sample from a mug of foaming beer, really :D

Reidar,

I'm in NYC and wouldn't mind meeting up for a bite or a drink. Let me know if you need any suggestions for things to do or places to eat/drink.

Wow, thanks guys, I feel I started a new trend on the forum.. :salute:

Peter, most probably I/we will be in München end of July ( 25 th ? ) for 4 days drinking "dunkel und weisse" ( only me, not my wife ) and eating very lovely and un-healthy food .. Will keep you informed..

Scott : Yes, only one month only , we can meet. I have sent you PM...

Andy: Passed LAX from Sydney Jan. 11th, but too short time. Impossible to make meeting. Everything to uncertain. Waiting for next flight we just had a taxi to The Grove near Beverly HIlls for about two hours. But next time, yes.. [cheers.gif]

Eric: Will land in Albuquerque Sept. 09 for first two days, the have a Hertz driving north, but I checked the map, I don't know if
we reach Denver ( I Googled and found your hometown north of Denver ). We want a bit of Utah on the same trip.. Will definitely keep in touch.. [yahoo.gif]
Fly out of ABQ Sept 19th..

So guys, reveal your travel plans :beat:

And Roy, Seattle has been high on my list. Has not been there since I was an exchange student for Seattle P.I.
in 1969.. I would very much like to meet you and I have pushed Seattle upto the top of my list of
places I would like to return to. Past years I have passed so many times through SEA but on the way to Hawaii ,,

I accept your offer, and will keep you informed... [cheers.gif] :salute: [beg.gif]

Reidar,

Please know that not only are you welcome to visit and have a dinner here; we have a guest room that you and your wife can use while exploring the area. No need for a hotel, but we are about 30 mins. from downtown Seattle. Feel free to email me, if you are able to come visit.

If you make it to Colorado some time I'll have to introduce you to my neighbor, Thomas Andersen. Related? Probably not, but his father does live in Norway and is from Oslo, so we'll need to check that out.
