6:45 PM Korey: YOu there?
6:46 PM We are picking you up in Lyon on Thursday morning, correct? Jenny was a little unsure when she heard your message!
| 6 minutes |
6:52 PM me: Yeah - I think we had said 10, which is just when I get in... let me check the ticket again to confirm...
Arrival is scheduled for 10
6:53 PM I was just wondering about electricity... do you know if there are plug-ins at the camp site?
Korey: I don't remember their being plug-ins. One sec and I'll check their web site
6:54 PM me: [tapping foot]
;-)
Korey: Ha!
It says that there is electricity on every plot.
To that sounds positive.
...
Apparently, the oxygenated water is going to take a little while to kick in....
7:03 PM Korey: Do we have your mobile?
+41 2131 XXXX?
7:04 PM me: Yeah, in one fo the emails... that number is my office in Lausanne, that I called from today
Mobile is +41 79 506-XXXX
Korey: Right, got it. Just in case, you know?
:)
Okay get packing!
7:05 PM me: Yeah, probably a good idea. Also, what's your car like? Besides having the steering wheel on the wonky side?
Korey: Blue Honda Civic. 2000. Very bland. Beige interior. Small brown moose hanging from the rear-view that goes by the name of Guillaume
7:06 PM 5-door
Sedan, though, not the hatch back.
me: Okay, when I'm outside of the station, I'll just ask for Guillaume
Korey: Like yours was.
Yeah, that'll work awesome.
me: Sorted.
See you tomorrow
Korey: No!
Thursday!
7:07 PM me: Wait... I missed that part... I thought it was tomorrow.
That could be an issue... okay - I'm going to see if the ticket office is open...!
Korey: Tomorrow is Wednesday!
7:08 PM me: Crap, I do this all the time
Korey: We leave here tomorrow morning, take the ferry to Calais, overnight in Dijon and then to Lyon on Thursday!
me: The ticket is correct - for the 19th
I just put it in outlook wrong
Korey: LOL
Rats.

I like all of the references to technology (including an Internet chat) to arrange a camping trip. Camping. As in "roughing it". =)
Say hi to poopy pants for me, and let him know that I will do what I can to try to record his Dutch football games.
Yeah, I was checking on the electricity thing to know if I would be able to charge my camera and laptop.
It's a long ways from going back-country in Kananaskis, that's for sure. I like that, but plug-ins and a shower will be okay, too.
As for the Euro... allez les bleus! allez les bleus! allez les... oh, wait, that's right - they're out with only 1 goal in the tournament...
*snigger*
Hey, say Hi to the Peters for me. Even though he never writes me or includes me in the group of friends he wants to see when visiting Calgary and stuff, he lingers in my thoughts. Kind of like that version of Highway to Hell you subjected me to.
Told you the water wasn't going to work. I hope they're not paying too much for it, hoping it will "smarten up" the whole office!!!
Most of this was before the water, so it can just serve as a point of reference. And Ni, one "hi" has been passed along...
