Fattwins 0 Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Markie I think it is better if you source this from the net. The prices will be much cheaper than me going direct. The gondie at happo is the only bottom lift that is open. Link to post Share on other sites
Markie 0 Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 Yeah, Fatts, I checked that out. Seems to be ok and the prices reasonable so I will probably rent from Nagano Eki and drive over to your place. So expect us there in the evening of Mar 18. It would have been nice letting you earn that extra yen instead, though. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Mar 18th will se sun Alpina open for sure sorry I was sleeping about the dates. Sorry but I couldnt do the car rental thing no matter what. Link to post Share on other sites
Markie 0 Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 No worries, mate. Good to hear you made a boo-boo on the Sun Alpina dates. A few of the "not yet confirmed" peeps are very much beginners and the Sun Alpina slopes should be good for them, especially the nice views when they take breathers. Renting at Nagano eki is actually quite convenient since it means I won't need to trouble you to pick us up. Also, by having full use of the rental van, I won't need to worry about getting the car back to you for your errands when it is needed....and I can even run a few errands for you if you are really swamped during that time. So what happened? Did you sell the car or the van? Or do you still have both but can't spare them? Link to post Share on other sites

Markie 0 Posted January 12, 2008 Author Share Posted January 12, 2008 Mantas, I think Fattwins had the dates I was mentioning mixed up. He was thinking about mid-April because we were taking about Easter, forgetting that we have an early Easter this year. Link to post Share on other sites

Markie 0 Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 OK, people, it's time to take a roll-call. I have finalized all my tickets and everything so I will be in Hakuba 18th to 25th March. I will first stay a couple of days with Fattwins and then move over to the log cabin next to the Pub at the Mominoki. Shall we fix Saturday 23rd to be "the meet up at the Pub" date? That is the date Mantas arrives. Anyone suggest a time? So far according to the previous posts Weegeoff, Mantas and Best-Skier-in-Hakuba said they would come. Are you guys still on? In addition, Creek Boy, Sunrise and Ewok2 also said maybe. Of course everyone else is welcome. I'll try to drag Fattwins along and see if Dave of Evergreen will be available too. So let's confirm a time and who's coming! Tanoshimi desu! Link to post Share on other sites

stemik 14 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 ok count me in...Mr. Wiggles? Link to post Share on other sites
Markie 0 Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 Good, Stemik, glad to have you on board. Creek Boy, officially, my last day of work will be 31st Aug., 2008. However, a big monkey-wrench has been thrown into my plans for a totally free and easy life. I am now entrenched with in a serious relationship with someone (in fact, I first met her in Hakuba in the Christmas of 2006 when you were also there with Bushpig and his gf/wife and Ewok 2) and we have already decided that marriage is the next step and just a question of setting a date. So when I'm done with this job I will be devoting my life to looking after all her needs and wishes. Link to post Share on other sites
