Carl sounds like he is interested, but has other things on his mind at the moment. Alice has some silly concern about a roof over her head, saying that she needs to take care of the house first. If anyone else is considering the trip, please let me know soon. The big question is about the timing. Rob and Nora have expressed a preference for August. Pat is trying to get Intel to spring for her airfare by calling it a business trip (can you say, "Junket"). Because Pat has only the best interest of the company in mind, she feels April would be a good time to go. My preference is to go just before or after the tourist season, which would be the beginning of June or September. The folks at Porlock advised me thus: Depending on the wetness of the winter season, the outdoor jump arenas and x-country courses open in early May to early June. By mid June, the local tourist season is in full-swing. Bookings will be more difficult, and we will have to compete with a good bit of traffic on the roads and trails during hacks. Hikers use the same trails that we will canter. The tourist season lasts through August, when much of Europe and the UK are taking Summer holidays. So, please help me find a time that is suitable for everyone. My vote is to go at the end of August - Beginning of September. What do you think of that? Jeff. PS - Pat, I am only kidding. What's the point of working for a multi-national if you can't get some good trips out of it? *******************Internet Email Confidentiality Footer******************* Privileged/Confidential Information may be contained in this message.
