A what.......

[Eric K.]

I should get there around 930-1000. Hey Dion which way are you going?? maybe we could meet up somewhere on the way u

A milage pass is the Army's way of baby-sitting. We're not allowed to travel outside 200 miles with out getting one approved. I got it ok, so I'll be there for sure. Probably be there sometime around 10am

Dion- went out into town today. This country is amazing. I think I'm going to seriously immigrate after I get done with the Army.

hehe,,I told you Rich.

Erik, we will be heading down via Aachen. Can you guys wait till 11 for us before any walking tours?

[kale010]

11 is a bit late don't you think. It will be dark before 5 o******231;lock in the afternoon. But hell I'll wait.

Nine in the morning and drinking beer allready because you have to wait for some others

11 am.....
it depends on what we are going to do.
Are we going to stay in Bastogne now or are we of for la Gleize?

[theinglebaby23]

So did we decide on a meeting place yet? I'm cruising in a train right into Bastogne. Is there nothing going on earlier than 10am?

[kale010]

Rich, I will be there before 10. So if you want I can pick you up in bastogne and we'll drive to the hotel.....that was the meeting point if I am not mistaking

Kameraden,
Please take fotos and post them here. I'd like to see the sites in the late fall since I was there in the spring. It also would be great to place the names with faces!!

Have a great time, and be careful!!

Hi ,

Attention with surprised while arriving on tha place has Bastogne ,the sherman disappeared.

No concern the friends, the tank left in restoration and will return normally in 2007.

Good walk has Bastogne.

The hotel is in Houffalize, which is about 20 km from each other.
I can understand that you don't find the hotel IN Bastogne .

I have some sad news: I will not make it tomorrow.
Normally, my mother in law would look after my 2,5 years old daughter, but since my wife's great-grandmother (grandmother of my mother in law) is laying on her "death-bed" (she can die any moment), I will not have a baby sit. The family is gathering around the bed.
It is not that bad for the old lady, since she is about 90 years old and she was very ill the last couple of months. For her it is better that it will be over very fast.

A pity , but that's life.
Another time maybe

Nick,
I'm really sorry to hear that. Always hard, even when you know it's the best. We'll have to do another trip. Talk is that my unit might not get deployed till June: maybe we can do a Normandy trip?

I'll leave here probably around six. Mapquest says it'll take 5 hours, and I've gotta figure some "getting lost" time too. So I'll probably be a little later. I've got your handy number, so I'll just call you and we'll meet up. I rented a car by the way, so hooking up shouldn't be a prob. I'm not going to miss anything in the morning am I?

Sorry again Nick

[kale010]

Indeed sorry to hear.

Rich, I thought you said earlier that you were going by train and now by car. Are you trying to confuse us

It seems that everybody is going to arrive around ten. So then I think I can sleep an hour longer.

If somebody is going to be there before ten. Let me know and I will be there before ten as well.
