Freethinker Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 Originally posted by: YvonneOriginally posted by: IrishEyes Actually, do they sell Swedish Fish in Norway?if we don't have them here. Are they salty? sweet? sour? (spelling... eh..)I would bet they are like French Fries. They are called "Swedish Fish" but have no actual connection to Sweden. They are just red "gummie bears" shaped like fish. Actually they predate gummie bears by quite a bit. But I am guessing that "gummie bears" is a better known item.

Freethinker Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 Originally posted by: YvonneGreat! I really hope this Denmark-meeting happens. But my guess is next summer is more realistic than late November? Or am I wrong? I was just trying to be "cute". There is a particular international competition (Cup) held there then.

IrishEyes Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 I spoke to the hubby last night and we agreed that we are taking a European vacation next year, without the kids. It will only be for a long weekend, probably a Thursday through Tuesday, I'd go into shock any longer than that. Thursday and Tuesday will be travel days. Now we need to figure out where we are going, and who will be joining us. I'd say that a villa in Italy would be awesome, but others have mentioned other ideas. Denmark still sounds cool, is anyone else interested? Mr Irish and I are totally serious about this, so anyone else that would like to have a Hypography European meeting needs to post where you would prefer to go, and then we'll take a vote. I think so far, we've mentioned Denmark, Italy and Greece. Any other suggestions? England would be affordable for East Coasters, as i know BritAir does cheap flights in the spring. Come on, guys, this is really going to happen, at least for the Irish couple, and hopefully Yvonne and Tormod too. Who else???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormod Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 We're in. We're going to Italy anyway so I second that motion. Of course, Denmark is piece of pie for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishEyes Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 If we could get 5 couples, there are some really incredible Italian villas that would be affordable... We've only got about $5000 to spend on this little venture, but that includres airfare, so the villa idea anywhere would be best for us. Of course, that means we'd all have to be nice to each other for a week, but hey... Yvonne, what's your e-mail address. I'll send you some links from my villa-finder. I get monthly e-mails about villas in Italy, just because it's my dream to go back. We could have a blast with this. I'm already getting excited!!

IrishEyes Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 Ok, 8 couples (or 16 total, with people willing to share rooms) and we could be staying here... http://italianvillas.com/db/view.pl?636-1 It breaks down to roughly $500 per person, for the week, during the height of the summer. Cheaper during the spring and fall. Then add airfare, food, and SHOPPING. I think most of us could probably afford it. Of course, I'm not sure that tim's mom would let him join us... Can you tell that i'm really leaning towards the Italy angle? Of course, Greece would be ok too. We spent 4 days in Chania, Crete,a nd loved EVERY second of it. And then there's Turkey. Antallyah was amazing, and Turkey has the best vegetables I've ever tasted in my life. Tormod and Yvonne are in. What about you, Unc? And FreeT and your SO??? geko, you gonna join us? sanctus? Telemad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishEyes Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 Oh, were you around in the sixties? Oh, please. Tormod was NOT around in the sixties. He wasn't even a twinkle in his daddy's eye in the sixties!! Not everyone is as old as you, FreeT!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yvonne Posted August 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 It shall be very interesting to meet you people. All of you. About age and looks and apperances.... It would be very interesting to see if my picture fits. I'm very easy going, so a villa would suit me fine. Tormod has been calling it the "Hypography Convention". And when in Italy there are plenty of scientific things to explore other than science museums, such as how expensive can shoes be? And where's the parmesan cheese gone?

IrishEyes Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 Mr. Irish just suggested that maybe instead of an Italian villa, we could go stay in an English castle. I think he's trying to get close to the homeland. I keep promising we'll visit Ireland one day, but 'something' always seems to happen. Anyhow, now we've got Denamrk, Italy, Greece, and England on the table. I think we all see that Italy has the vote of at three of us right now, but I remember yvonne saying she liked London, and we've never been, so that would be ok with me too. Hypography Convention, huh? Hmmm, I like the sound of that. Will post more later, Have a good night... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yvonne Posted August 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 When we know who wants to come, we can have a vote. So far, Italy is a little ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And since I was born in 1970, er, ... Oh well, so I would have to be an observer at FT's Memory Lane Cup but that actually sounds like a good deal anyway. See ya there, FT. I'll be your cheerleader!
