Jack Duijf | DEVCON traveling arrangements on Thu, 19 Aug 2004 02:21:03 +0200 Hello, This message is for all visitors of the European Xbase++ Devcon 2004. As you know the Xbase++ Devcon is held on 12 and 13 November 2004 in the Netherlands. (See www.xxp.nl/html/devcon_2004.html for details). For all visitors that arrive at Amsterdam Schiphol airport, we advise to arrive on Thursday 11 November. The traveling from Amsterdam to the conference wil take quite some time during the rush hour. So if you arrive on Friday morning, it is verry unlikely you wil be on time for the opening at 10:00 am. IF there are a sufficient number of attendees arriving on Thursday afternoon, we are thinking of organizing a traveling arrangement on Thursday from Amsterdam to the conference, and on Sunday morning from the conference back to Amsterdam Airport. The more attendees that are using this service the cheaper it can get per attendee. Keep in mind: - Arrival on thursday before 18:00 local time (Gmt +1) - Departure on Sunday after 13:00 local time - Extra overnight stay for thursday to friday - Extra overnight stay for saturday to sunday Please tel us how you think about this via this NG or e-mail Regards, Devcon organisation, Jack Duijf. jdsoftware@tiscali.nl | |

Due to additional travel plans, I plan to arrive in Frankfurt on Thur. Nov 11, 16:30 and depart from Frankfurt on Sun. Nov 14, 13:30. Is there anyone else with similar travel plans? Perhaps we can share the cost of a car rental for driving to the conference. A car rental + gas for the 3 days would be approx 150 EUR.

I'll pickup a car in DUS. Sharing the cost of the car would have been nice. Anyone else interested?

Karlo Bender | Re: DEVCON traveling arrangements on Wed, 25 Aug 2004 01:05:43 +0200 Alain, Borzic, just a hint that there is a very fast train (ICE) connection from Frankfurt Airport to Duesseldorf, f.e. 8:48 h, 9:09 h, 9:15 h and so on, very frequently and it's only about 1:20 h driving time. Maybe this is cheaper than flying and gives you some compensation for the cost of car rental. If you are interested, have a look at http://www.bahn.de/pv/view/int_guest/subhome/international_guests.shtml.

Boris Borzic | Re: DEVCON traveling arrangements on Wed, 25 Aug 2004 02:27:23 +0200 Hi Karlo, Thank you, but I already checked the train option... it actually turns out to be more expensive than renting a car.

Actualy my flight from FRA to DUS is costing me 36$CAN (20 EURO) return! So it's very hard to beat. Also, I don't plan to stay at the Castel so a car will come in handy.

I will fly via Paris to Dusseldorf. So my schedule is: Arrival at Dusseldorf Thursday the 11th at 11:35. Departure from Dusseldorf Sunday the 14th at 10:55. I am picking up a car at DUS airport and will be driving to/from Venlo (Van der Valk Hotel). There will be 3 available seats in the car, so if any of you has a similar schedule, I'll be happy to accommodate. Let me know.
