Oh ,and if it is possible how much will it cost in that case? (Not exactly, but just a rough amount)

I'm not quite sure what your question is. We're not planning a trip to Europa at the moment.

The prices published in the trip flyers do not include airfare to start with. Such a feat would be impossible unless we all miraculously came from the same origin city..

Dude,

The price of airfare is NOT included in the trip price. You have to get to the starting city on your own. So if you want to do the Spain trip, you need to get to Madrid? on your own.

It's a lost cause for some, Robb.

I run a large vBulletin forum. There's a feature that pretty much puts a user on everyone else's ignore list, meaning their posts are only visable to theirselves. Such a feature was designed for this breed of illiterate.

:p

Wow, I'm amazed at the stupidity here. I can kind of understand the Dutch guy's question, because it might not be clear if you're not completely fluent in English.

However, every one else needs to take a chill pill and READ.

If you want to go, send your deposit in. Stop getting all whiny before you even know if you're going on the trip or not. ACtually if you're going to get whiny, don't go on the trip, lord knows you'll be doing those who do go on a trip a huge favor.

It might not even go to a lottery, so don't get your panties in a bunch already.

And may I ask, are those complaining/asking questions in here even planinng on going? Because if you're not, then why are you bothering people with this nonsense.

Jeez, I came in to read this post to see if there was any new info, and I was met by a lot of bitching mostly from people that arent' old enough to go on the trip by themselves anyways.

OMG! A TALKING MUFFIN!

Well, I hope everyone who goes on these has fun! I would love to go, but I miss the going alone date by weeks. Not that much of a big deal, as I can go on a 2008 trip (if these aren't too much of a headache for R&E to do) on my own. So good luck to all the people who sign up for these! I hope that very few get rejected, as these trips look amazing!

I did want to add a few things regarding the comments about whether or not the 2007 Trip participants would also get priority seating on future trips.

My knee-jerk reaction would be to say "probably yes" assuming that, if this year we had one trip, next year we have three trips, the following year might be 4 or 5, continue trend, etc.....

The goal is not really to have a "clique" of people who, unless you're in that group eventually cannot join on any future trips, but I will say that having a "core group" of what may end up being 300 to 500 people is NOT a bad thing! At least you have a pretty good idea of who may or may not be going on future trips, and it's a good chance to re-group with people you might only get to see during a TPR trip.

Our trips will ALWAYS be a bit more 'exclusive' than other offerings that are out there simply because we don't intend on having an unlimited number of spaces available. But I do feel we'll have a good selection of seats available on future trips for both people who have participated in previous trips AND newcomers.

This system wasn't invented on a whim, it had a LOT of time and thought put into how it was going to work. It does make sense and it IS fair. So please, do not worry about whether or not you're going to get on our 2008 or 2009 trips, but instead lets focus on our 2007 trips and if you have valid questions about them, please ask and we'll do our best to answer.

Thanks.

Maybe the lottery should be weighted. So someone who constantly asks dumb questions will get say only 1/2 a spot in the lottery. ;)
