I have plane tickets!!!!

So, the remaining, crucial question: is four hours enough time to clear customs in Frankfurt, have a lovely cuppa with gorgeous company, then clear it again on the way back in?

I ended up going with Qantas, partly for the points, partly for the ease of complaining if anything goes wrong, a little for the timing, but mostly for the decent leg room in cattle class.

And now, back to the writing!

Does this mean that you're flying via Frankfurt? *stares at screen*

Whenwhenwhen????

I have no idea if four hours are enough - it sounds like enough time to meet up for two hours and leave one hour for going out and one for going in. So if they are enough, and if I have no job-related appointment that can't be rearranged, I'm yours!

Is there anyone else you know around here to meet up with them at the airport?

YES! You were my deciding factor, well, you and foot room ;-)

Tuesday 22nd, I get in at something like 7.20pm and fly out at 11.20pm. I realise this is not perfect, but it was the longest layover they had!

If it's disastrous, I may have to entertain my insane plan of coming over on Monday and flying out on Tuesday and having a museum day, but that would actually be insane given everything I already have on in London and Paris.

I don't think I have any friends left in Frankfurt, though it's hard to say, my RL ones move around even more than I do. But in a worst-case scenario, I will read a book. Or write one. Well, bits thereof.

Fingers crossed!

I love to be in on the same scale with the foot room - foot room is very important. :-)

22nd December in the evening - that's great. I'm free around that time - well, skipping aikido practice, but that's all right for the chance of meeting up with you :-) - and I don't think that I will have any appointments the next day.

If you come over on Monday, feel free to stay over at my place for the night. Frankfurt is full of museums. I fear that I'm a lousy tourist guide, but we'll work out something, I'm sure.

*happy bouncing*
