European members trip planning

Post in this thread and/or start a new thread discussing how you plan to arrive at the meet in Copenhagen. Are you driving? Would you be interested in picking up some Americans/Canadians in Hamburg for the ride? Will you be attending the Laboe U-995 activity?

I cant afford to hire a car so I need to rely on someone to carpool with from the airport.

You won't need a car, the airport is only 5 miles from the hotel. McBeck will supply us with metro info.

We have targeted the Hotel CABINN City as our barracks. The rates are on the Meeting activity page. We are not ready to book rooms yet, stand by for that in a few weeks.

Here is a the direct route from the airport to the Hotel.

As you can see, it's a short taxi ride, and metro is available.

If not something gets in my way, I will show up.
I would take a car and could pick up 4 people.
U 995, yes, never been there.

Just an idea:
Nealito and all the others who take the long trip across the big pond:

If anybody is planning to prolong his stay, because who knows, when you will make it to Europe again, feel free to contact me.
Especially Eastern Europe is an interesting place to go now after the fall of the iron curtain because everything is still in change.

So why not visit places like Berlin, Prague or Warsaw, too, while you are here?

An example: There are very cheap flights from Dortmund to Warsaw, shuttles for the Polish workers in Germany to fly home over the week-end. I could drop you off at the Dortmund airport.

For those, who probably feel the pioneering spirit of their ancestors:
I met quite a few young Americans in Warsaw who permanently live there as English teachers, pub owners, event/tourist managers, journalists for English speaking newspapers etc. You could become part of the network of Americans abroad, too.

Thanks, Dan, I would love to have a good stay and spend some time there. I'm not sure if I can take more than 1 week, my school and work schedule is pretty tight. Perhaps some people attending will take the extra time.
