The start of the year's been a real bitch, still unemployed. I know I've said to many that I'll be there, but I just cant see it happening if the employiment situation continues like this, which I'm sure it will. :nope:

[Morts]

fawk, i live a little more than an hour away from copenhagen but i dont think i can make it:damn:

[Kapitan_Phillips]

Just so I know, Brits dont need visas or any of that to get into Denmark, right?

[Dowly]

What do you care? Your from Vulcan. :O:

Well, having the meet set up in my own country, it would be a shame to miss, so I have marked the dates in my calendar. For those of you who missed my photos from my visit to UC3 Nautilus last summer, here's a link for them:
http://www.silenthuntermods.com/forum/index.php?topic=54.0

And Neal, since you're buying the first beer, I trust you'll do the ordering in Danish too...? :03:

EDIT:
"minor" type error... grr... :timeout:

[Onkel Neal]

Hold it, I said BEER! I didn't say anything about bears! :O:

You bet, I will start studying my Danish now. I will order in Danish, with only a think accent of Texan :shucks:

Great photos, btw

[Carotio]

I was thinking, being a Dane, the hotel lodging is not enforced or anything?
I mean, before any visits starts, I could probably just meet up with the rest of you in the lobby and otherwise live with family in Copenhagen...

FYI:
http://www.ordbogen.com/
An online dictionary. It does cost money to use, but one can look up two words for free per day. In case any of you find Danish pages.
Dansk = Danish
Engelsk = English
Tysk = German
Fransk = French
Spansk = Spanish
Svensk = Swedish

[Carotio]

Just so I know, Brits dont need visas or any of that to get into Denmark, right?

Being British, you're part of the European Union as Denmark is, so no, you don't need a visa. The meet is only a couple of days...

Hold it, I said BEER! I didn't say anything about bears! :O:

Speaking of bear/beer, then here's a Danish expression:
have en ordentlig bjørn på (directly translated: to have one real bear on) = be gloriously drunk

Yep, that's A-ok, we just want all the guests who are lodging in Copenhagen from abroad to be in one, central place.

[Sailor Steve]

Gonna do my best!

I will order in Danish, with only a think accent of Texan :shucks:
Why bother? Everybody understands Texan!

Man, it would be awesome to have you there, Steve. Let me know what flights you find, so far I am looking at $850 RT flying in to Copehnhagen. I plan to arrive a day early and rent a car and take the 3 hours drive to Kiel to see the U-995, you are welcome to join me. :salute:

Cool, a subsim meeting in Europe, I'll be there!

Already looking up air fares, and my wife allows me to go :D - but only if I buy her Danish wool - know any stores there? :rotfl:

[Thomen]

Mhm.. should I be worried that my wife tries to talk me into attending the meeting? :hmmm:

[UnderseaLcpl]

I'll be attending for sure. It's just a matter of selecting which beach to land on.:DL

[nikimcbee]

I don't think money will be an issue, but time off may be:o . but, I would have accruied some serious time off, so we'll see.:D

No, wait, I already said that!

Anyway, it's true.

[Onkel Neal]

Damn you, Google Maps, you lied to me (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=copenhagen,+denmark&daddr=Kiel,+Germany&hl=en&geocode=&mra=ls&sll=54.642055,11.436768&sspn=4.565943,14.238281&ie=UTF8&ll=54.822843,11.678467&spn=2.272368,7.119141&z=8). :shucks: 3:46

A day early, Jason, arriving on the morning of the 16th. My plans are still under development, I have not bought a ticket yet so we can coordinate this over the next few weeks.

Laboe, and the U-995: the last survivng Type VII U-boat in the world (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=copenhagen,+denmark&daddr=Kiel,+Germany&hl=en&geocode=&mra=ls&sll=54.642055,11.436768&sspn=4.565943,14.238281&ie=UTF8&ll=54.412128,10.229559&spn=0.002241,0.006952&t=h&z=18) (worth talking about).

Isn't there another type VII in Chicago? The U-995 is the last VIIC/41 as far as I remember.

Well anyways, if I should be able to make it, I'm gonna swing by Laboe for the memorial/U-995 and Bremerhaven, for U-2540. Either on my way up or back.

[Onkel Neal]

Although Wolfgang Peterson kept referring to the U-505 as a Type VII all throught the Das Boot director's commentary, I'm pretty sure it is a Type IX.

Are you German, Thomen? Would it make more sense for me to fly in to Hamburg, take a car to Kiel, then on to Copenhagen?

[Thomen]

Yep, I am. Although I have not been in Kiel or north Germany for around 18 years. You will have to drive the distance anyways, so it does not really matter. Problem can be for the flight back, tho. You will have to get back to Hamburg. Personally, I would probably stick with Copenhagen.

EDIT:
Indeed, 505 was type IX
http://www.uboat.net/boats/u505.htm

Havent watch the commentary yet, so can't comment on what he says.

EDIT 2:
If possible, see if you can get a ticket for either to Hamburg and back through Copenhagen, or into Hamburg and Copenhagen for the flight back. That ought to be the best solution, but the Airlines really do not like stuff like that.

[A Very Super Market]

Neal, I'm no German (Or Dane), but wouldn't it be better to take a boat to Copenhagen? Or a direct plane flight?

Yeah, I really don't hold out much hope for a DC to Hamburg/Copenhagen to DC lineup, but that would be so cool!. I think you are right, just a flight into Cop. then arrange a car to zip over to Kiel, see Das Boot, then return to Cop.

I've been waiting to see U-995 since I was 9...about 40 years! :woot:



Neal, I'm no German (Or Dane), but wouldn't it be better to take a boat to Copenhagen? Or a direct plane flight?

Better for me from Houston? Or better for you from...where are you again??
Or do you mean a boat from Cop. to Kiel and back?

Please be more clear, you know, I never passed Mindreading 101. :arrgh!:

[mapuc]

you can be asure that I will be coming.

I live just a stonethrough from Copenhagen, in a town called Landskrona is located on the other side of Copenhagen.

Can't wait to meet you all

[A Very Super Market]

I meant from Kiel to Copenhagen on a boat, though I'm sure there are airways from Copenhagen to Houston. As for me, I can't go, since I'm still in high school :O:

Fastest from Copenhagen to Kiel seems to be the ferrie from Puttgarden, Germany to Roedby, Denmark.

[{1.SS}Eberhardt]

I am bent on finding a way to make it to this meeting.
Given the current economy, my wallet is hurtin for certain. I hope i get on a scallop boat this summer, thats my only way aboard this meeting. :D
Cross your fingers and root for me, and come summer time ill give you a sitrep on if ill be attending or not.

[Hitman]

Subsim meet in Europe with visit to U-995??

COUNT ME IN :yeah:

[Von Hinten]

Okay, there's just no avoiding this now. Being from Holland, I'll do my very best to get there. And this would be an excellent chance to let my old '66 Volvo Amazon finally see 'the homeland' (mine was built in Belgium of all places LOL) so you can count me in, and possibly a fellow captain as well. :salute:

[Lurchi]

I'll think i join the Meeting too.

I'll drive by car from Wilhelmshaven via Hamburg to Copenhagen so i may pick up guys at the airport. U-995 is on the way so it should be possible to visit it on the way to Copenhagen or back to Hamburg - i did so 2 years ago:

Neal (and others considering visiting Laboe),

you might want to consider flying to Hamburg, going with the train to Kiel (ca. 1,5 hours) and again with the train to Kopenhagen (around 5 1/2 hours). Trains from Hamburg to Kiel are going around every hour, from Kiel to Kopenhagen I think there are around 5 connections a day. Just a hint. Here is a trip planner from the Deutsche Bahn:

http://www.bahn.de/international/view/en/index.shtml

Anyway, I still don`t know if I`ll make it to the subsim meeting, but if some are planning to meet in Laboe I might meet you there, since it`s only 30 km from here.

Greets

Z.

[Hitman]

One more thing: Neal, you could set-up a separated thread for those guys who will go to U-995. I think it would be good to coordinate it in a manner we could make the visit together, then go to Copenhagen. :shucks:

[McBeck]

Your right Neal...its not the long way around.

I would love to join you in Kiel, but considering im the host, I think I will be very busy the day before the meet.

The cheapest ( if you dont already have a car) would probably be to use the trains to Copenhagen.

The cheapest flights accros the atlantic will probably hold a stop in Frankfurt, Holland or UK depending on what airline you use.

Heres some pointers:
KLM (Holland) www.klm.com
Lufthansa (German) www.lufthansa.com
SAS (Scandinavian) www.sas.dk This airline will have direct flights to Copenhagen from some US Airports including Dulles and New York.
Furthermore SAS, Lufthansa and United are in a group called Star Alliance (http://www.staralliance.com/baseAction.do?language=) where you can earn a great deal of flyer miles.

[Bill Nichols]

My wife and I are hoping to come. If her calendar will allow it, I'll be there.

:arrgh!:

[McBeck]

WOW - 24hrs since announcement and app 10 people ready to go :)

A quote comes to mind when thinking about UC3 Natilus:
"I think we are gonna need a bigger boat"

:rock:

[Hanomag]

WOW - 24hrs since announcement and app 10 people ready to go :)


If 30 say they will show ... 15 will actually be there. :hmmm:

But it certainly sounds fun. Will they let me where my kaptans hat in Denmark??

There is plenty of time to get ready for the journey... I will have to check my finances. So I wont say yes or no.

[Hitman]

My wife and I are hoping to come

COOL :yeah: my wife also probably will, we can send them shopping together :haha:

just joking she will be willing to go aboard UC3 before me :D

I have already checked flights and yes it seems that Frankfurt is the main option :hmmm:

I will however try to go directly to Copenhagen, there are flights to that airport from Madrid and Barcelona.:shucks:

Great idea, Alberto. I've created a sub-forum, with a few key topics.

I will move this thread to that forum after some time. Feel free to use the sub-forum, too.

I will copy this in the other thread,

I'll think i join the Meeting too.

I'll drive by car from Wilhelmshaven via Hamburg to Copenhagen so i may pick up guys at the airport. U-995 is on the way so it should be possible to visit it on the way to Copenhagen or back to Hamburg - i did so 2 years ago:

Lurchi, I hope you will attend, we need to have as many people as possible, and since this is right next to Germany, come on:shucks:

I really like the idea of flying in to Hamburg on the morning of Sept 16 and sharing a ride with a German to Laboe, then on to Copenhagen. This is similar to what we did in the Amsterdam meeting; me and two other Americans flew into London, Nemesis (a Brit) picked us up, and we traveled across the channel, through nrothern France and spent the first night in Ghent. Then we went on to Amsterdam. I really love to get away from the city and airport and see the country. I have seen very little of Germany, it would be wonderful to go some distance on the ground :up: We will see which Americans and Canadians are coming, how many want to share this idea, and who/how many Germans are interested too. And not only Germans, but French, Italians, and Dutch may drive through Hamburg to Laboe/Copenhagen. Cool.

Sorry Neal but I cannot make it.The dates clash with the 65th anniversary of the Arnhem drop and we have recently discovered that a relative of my wife was in 2 Para and died on the bridge on the second day so we may be going to Arnhem this year.

I'd love to go. I'll have to see how the finance situation looks this summer.

Let me put it this way: Swedish and Danish girls are pretty similar, both are Scandinavians.

Now that you know this, then watch this video:

Oh, yeah, daddy knows his way in town :yeah:

There have already been two there: a big one in London and a local one in Amsterdam.

[The General]

Oh, yeah, daddy knows his way in town :yeah:Lol, great video. Thanks for the advice.

@Sailor Steve, there was one in London!!!? When was that?! :damn:

[Morts]

i just talked to my parents and it seems like i may actually be able to go
and i only live like an hour away from copenhagen:yeah:

[{1.SS}Eberhardt]

I wonder if there are any good clubs in Copenhagen? Any natives here that can recomend a few?
You know ... i think submarines and danish bunnies can go hand in hand :D

:arrgh!: yar har harrrrr

[McBeck]

Clubs not really my scene but there is a walkingstreet with quite a few bars - take your pick :D

[nikimcbee]

I'm trying to decide if I should bring my wife? Part of me says it would be fun, but the last time I went to a naval museum with the spouse, after 10 minutes: "I'm bored, lets go!" I would hate to ruin my fun with a bored spouse. what do you guys think?

The above mentioned place was meant as a joke, obviously... ;)

Here is a list of night clubs and a map of their locations:
http://www.nelso.dk/dk/koebenhavn/nat-klub-diskotek/

Some of the hot places with lots of pretty girls are:
http://www.luuxcph.dk/
http://www.k-3.dk/
http://www.vega.dk/?sc_lang=en

But one should also notice that some evenings, those places demand membership, and/or you'll be asked for ID for age verification, since some evenings the limit will be either 18, 21 or 24 years of age. Some of these places will also have dress code on occation, so no naval outfits like uniforms and hats.

The membership thing is a little out of the question for most of you, so maybe McBecks suggestion to go to either a pub or bar will be the best option. Or maybe do the pub crawl thing. Something we often do: go in and get a beer (notice I wrote beer and not bear :D ), then go to next place and get a new beer and so on...

[nikimcbee]

I'm trying to decide if I should bring my wife? Part of me says it would be fun, but the last time I went to a naval museum with the spouse, after 10 minutes: "I'm bored, lets go!" I would hate to ruin my fun with a bored spouse. what do you guys think?

you got 3-4 wives going... send them shooping for danish pastries and capuccinos.

no credit cards

must win the lotto (and then I would add my wife to the pastries tour)

killing to find a way to attend, two of my subsimming friends live in the UK and Denmark:woot:

when I first read it, I thought you ment I had 3~4 wives!:o :haha: only if their 21 and H-O-T

And yeah Im familiar with the pub crawl, I lived in Germany for 9 years :cool:
I am also thinking, since I have been away from it for about 3 years, about returning to my old stomping grounds of Berlin after the Subsim meet.:D

Oh but I have to find a boat to work on this summer. First things first *sigh*

Looks interesting. I'll try and get there...... unless the Merchant Fleet mod is released on that weekend:D

[papa_smurf]

I'll try my best to get there, but not sure yet.

[Oberon]

Me and the significant other are considering it, but finances are tight so it's fifty/fifty. If we do do it, we'd, or rather I'd, like to see Kiel and Laboe too, so I might have to do it that we get to Kiel and meet the excursion there and hop on for the ride back then fly out from Copenhagen.
We'll see :DL

[Von Hinten]

Feel free to change my forum name to Von N00b for the time begin but what happens next? I mean this will be my first time to an event like this so I'm wondering what I need to do or take care of to make sure things will work out nicely.

Do I just take the days off from work, make sure I've got some cash and hop in the car to start driving? Could it really be that simple? :hmmm:

[KeptinCranky]

I don't see why not, it's not like Copenhagen is all that far away... :DL
You just drive to Groningen, (unless you live closer to Germany than that) follow the signs that say Bremen, then make a left, follow the signs that say Odense then follow the signs that say Kobenhavn or some such..., and that's without consulting any more than a kriegsmarine Grid map, how hard can it be... :yeah:

I'm considering attending too, it's been years since I had a foreign vacation, I might as well :cool:

[{1.SS}Eberhardt]

It would definetly be worth going, since you guys dont really live that far away.
And if you go through Bremen, you can visit the Bremer Stadt Musikanten :D

And I would like to say to Von Hinten, that is one of the best names I have ever heard in my life, and it honestly made me laugh out loud. :haha:

Nah, you're cool, this is just the announcement. Go ahead and get your vacation scheduled with your job, check airfares, and stand by. In a couple months we will send out the official sign up sheet , set the activities and meeting times, and block out a suite of hotel rooms. Then you can take care of the airfare if you are flying in.

Airfare? I'm seriously considering driving over there, you know, taking the scenic tour and all that. Hey, I'm getting scarily close to forty so I'm allowed to take things easy. :DL

And I'll patiently await that sign up form sir. Thanks for not changing the name. :shucks:

[lesrae]

I'm going to do my best to attend this one, I've always wanted to visit Denmark (and there's no CinCNagHome to have to placate now either).

[Koondawg]

I plan to arrive a day early and rent a car and take the 3 hours drive to Kiel to see the U-995, you are welcome to join me.
Have you ever thought about renting some bikes? Im gonna look into my savings and see about setting some funds aside...as I have a few friends over there back in the day from Americas Army.
But I think a bike rental (motorcycle for some) would be a great way to tour. Ill get back when I know some more...about to hit a friend up in Denmark.

Back soon

I don't think Neal would have a problem with you attending on select days. There was some of that going on at the last meet.
Now that I think about it, I actually asked a similar question prior to the last meet and he said it was ok.

That's right, feel free to drop in for an evening, or the Nautilus event. We don't have the exact dates set for the events arranged yet, stay tuned.

Just in case I'm going to attend. I already have planned my route on google earth. I just wandering how much it would cost for me taking a ferry Rostok - Gedser with a car, since it would be a great shortcut.
Or I could try going around which would take some more time and diesel :hmmm:

No worries I've already found taxes.

Thinking just of getting the plain ticket now. Just not sure where. Germany or Denmark

Hi everybody.
I have been reading this forum for a while, but have never posted before. I have been a great fan of submarine simulators for many years. (Too great if you ask my girlfriend, but what does she know :) ).

I live in Copenhagen and would like very much to attend the meeting in September. It would be great to meet some kindred spirits. And having an actual two way conversation about submarines is a seldom opportunity that should not be missed.

My real name is Oliver btw.

Ok, I booked my flight today, and so has Chad and Abe.

Our connecting flight is in Washington DC, United 9404 or SAS 926 (it goes under either name) departing DC on Mon Sept 14 at 5:15pm.

If anyone wants to join us on the plane, go for it. Let me know if you need any other flight details.


DEPART
Houston (IAH) to Washington (IAD) 09/14/09 11:55 am - 3:58 pm UNITED 550

Washington (IAD) to Copenhagen (CPH) 09/14/09 5:15 pm - 7:15 am SAS 926



RETURN
Copenhagen (CPH) to Washington (IAD) 09/20/09 12:20 pm - 3:00 pm SAS 925

Washington (IAD) to Houston (IAH) 09/20/095:25 pm - 7:39 pm UNITED 493

[Dr.Sid]

Any news ? It's almost time to book the flight. Maybe Neal could run some 'last resort' banner campaign and set some close date, at least for the 'main force'. We could then distribute bunks and start booking.

I mean I want to book the flight .. but I want to book the room first .. and I don't know anybody to share the room with. I hoped I'll get the room mates assigned.

[Onkel Neal]

Book your flight. The meet is set, nothing has changed. See ya there. :salute:

Post a request to split a room in the meeting forum.

[Dr.Sid]

I have such request pending there for month.

If you don't have any spare subscriptions, I will book single room. :88)

Edit: checked the prices again .. now that sucks. For one night that would be expensive, but ok. But multiply it by 5 .. and the conclusion is, if I don't find room mate (or better two), I won't go. I just don't want to pay 90% of the total trip price on the hotel.
I looked for some other hotels, but the prices are not much different for single room.

So please, if you have any info about people who want to go, please pass it to me, since the forum seems poorly visited.

We are making the Laboe run on Weds the 16th, then visiting the Danish sub museum on the 17th. Friday 18th and Sat 19th are general days with Peter Madsen and UC-3.
