    All

    I have decided to book at Motel One from June 21 plus 5 days. I might actually go there from June 20 plus 5 days, but have not decided that yet. Either day I will arrive at the Motel One abour 02.00 p.m. I will probably take the bus down from Copenhagen, Denmark (7 hours) since I have no use for a car in Berlin. And it’s cheaper by bus :-).

    Hope to see some of you there.

    I have reserved a room at Motel One using this address: berlin-kudamm@motel-one.com, and the code word “Photo Summit”.

    Best wishes
    Knut

    Merrill

    That is just great. I was beginning for wonder if this summit would take off at all, in spite of all good intentions from everybody.

    I am really looking forward to this summit and to meet some of you G-people. I am sure that we will get a great time, indeed.

    Best wishes
    Knut

    Jerome

    This is just excellent. You have made my day for sure. You, as an old timer, will surely provoke more of the site old-timers, to attend as well :-).

    I am really looking forward to this event. In fact I may be there a day early as well.

    Cheers
    Knut

  8. Wilfred van der Vegte Says:

    Since the Motel One is full by now, I booked a room at the Ibis Berlin-Mitte, Prenzlauer Allee 4 - 10405 BERLIN.
    See you all in 2.5 months …

    Wilfred.

  9. knut skjærven Says:

    Wilfred

    That is just great. I am really happy that you are able to make it. I went with bus 200 last time I was there. It takes about 15 minutes to “HQ” in Q-damm. :-) Less time by train, imo. It is not going to be an issue. Are you bringing your wife?

    Cheers
    Knut

    I just had confirmation from Jan. He will attend the G Summit as well. And The Anniversary G Pages Dinner. Welcome Jan. Great to have you in.

    Cheers
    Knut

  11. Wilfred van der Vegte Says:

    I relocated to the Motel One and canceled the Ibis. By the way, no need for calling - an e-mail will work just fine.

    Wilfred.

    Ok, I know I have been pretty much the “where did he go?” guy lately but I have still had this in the back of my mind. I am researching whether I can go or not. The airfare from the US is NOT cheap (almost $1500 USD!) and that’s with at least one stop (15 hours+ to get there). Plus hotel for the week, and food, and (some) fun, it will be $2500 USD in the end at least. I really want to go but need to think it through a little more. I’d love nothing more to see you guys and could sure use a small vacation of seeing Berlin and walking around with my G2….I’ll keep you posted on my thoughts over the next week as I plan to decide soon….
