I have lost my mind, so I don't know if I am included in the head count, though I'll surely be in attendance, or Cambridge as it were.

All Red Sox fans will be counted. Headless or not.

yeah...bob is a Needhamite, as opposed to a vegemite. Andy is a Cambridgeroo, so neither are technically Bostonians. I think Boston likes it that way!!

so guys... What time for the brunch? And if I cheap out and don't take a taxi, what stop on the T?

We leave tomorrow!!!

Vegemite sandwiches -- yes!! (For everyone else.)

Lucy, closest T stop is Central on the Red Line. When you exit from the station, walk down Mass Ave (toward MIT and away from Harvard -- ask a cabbie or cop) about 1/4 mile to Sidney St. Turn right on Sidney St and the Hotel@MIT is a block ahead on the left.

Weather forecast is excellent for Saturday and Sunday, not so good for Thursday and Friday am.

Lucy, the mid-day GTG starts at 11 AM with lunch at about 1 PM. There is also the dinner at Similan at 7 PM. Does "we" mean that you are bringing Mr lcuy?

I am bringing Mr Lcuy to Boston, but as we only have 2 full days there, he is spending the day with our daughter. I was able to get him to the recent Honolulu GTG to prove he exists, but this time DD won out!

Lucy, or anyone else. The weather may not be very good. If you take the T, I can pick you up. We can arrange a time. If you want contact me at [email protected].

BTW, Bob is a Needhamite, but I am a Cantabridgean. We are much farther over on the evolutionary chart.

I notice Cantabridgean starts with "cant"... is there some hidden meaning in that?

See you in a few days. Soooo looking forward to another GTG in BOS... er... Cambridge.

i have been away for several days with our out of country fodorite attendees....

i think i have answered everyone's questions directly to you, except laurie...

some of the faithfull:

carol and carole (simpsonc510 and CFW)
lcuy
rhk's
gpand's
boston harbor and friends
craig's
laurieco's
rizutto
cyn's


those are the asia folks basically and then there are the europe types...

we will be about 30 again this year if everyone shows up and maybe a few drop ins also...

Today is our penulitimate day in England before leaving for a year in Sierra Leone so Carolyn & I just wanted wish you all the best for a successful GTG. I am sure you will have a great time. Gpanda accepted my arguments for a penalty waiver as we are flying on the very day of the GTG, (subject to one or two conditions!)

PS
If you have some spare time be sure to ask Bob for his special open top night tour of Boston in Karen's car - it beats the duck tours hands down!

crellston - a year in Sierra Leone? That sounds fascinating!

best of luck to you crellston.
Will you post on the Africa board?

Clive-Beth and I wish you both a wonderful year. It was great to meet you guys and have a chance to talk in real time with a Fodors stalwart.

I do note that it was cruel to use "penultimate" in a post that Bob was likely to read.

clive---wishing you a wonderful year...can we hold a GTG in your tent??

let us know in the asia board what you are up to and how it is going...

Thanks for your good wishes. I will certainly post on the Asia AND Africa boards and, subject to web access, will maitain a close interest in all your postings.
Of course you are all welcome to a GTG in our tent. I can't promise the same quality of food as the Similian though!

Have a couple of Singa's for Carolyn and me!

bon voyage!! and do good works!!

rhkkmk and the rest of the Fodorites: Olive and I may be quiet but we want you all to know that we envy you while you are enjoying the Boston GTG. We just came back from SFO so it's hard to take time off so soon. We will not be with you this time but will be in spirit and hope that we will be able to make it next time whether in Boston or BKK. Our best wishes -- BillT and Olive

Have a great time tomorrow everyone!

thanks bill and olive....i just got a last minute inquiry so fodorites are out there even at the last minute...

we have a real interesting group....some old attendees and several new ones....the group stretches from dresden germany to hawaii.....

bob, andy and karen
