I hope some other members of my group (G32) will join me in Yalta in 2011.
We had a Skype call today with Richard, Erin, Deb, Nancy, Harry and Tatyana. We had a discussion about where to have stops during the trip in 2011. We agreed on: Kiev -> Cherkassi (and maybe Zaporogie) -> Kherson -> Yalta. I'm glad that there are ...
Today, we have linked with several people in a discussion to develop a tour to Ukraine. This is an exciting time for me to create friends from the other side of the world. I hope to get to know many others sharing the same interests. I'm working o...

- Hi Harry, Since this is my first time and since I may or may not participate, I don't have any expectations. I prefer to hang back and see what others have to say.

- Hi Harry, I don't know about September 26, it would depend on the time. That is the weekend of my 50th high school class reunion and there are activities scheduled throughout the day. I will be in a hotel with good internet service, so I could use Skype if it works in the schedule. Has the time been set?

Jessica Towell said… - Hello, I got your message. Unfortunately I only have internet through an incredibly slow cell phone connection and am not able to do anything like Skype on it. Perhaps there is another 33er on this forum with better Internet than me (very likely) who would be able to do this? Sorry. ~Jessica

- No, Harry... I am not getting this through regular mail. As a matter of fact, I am not hearing anything regarding FOU through regualr mail. The only way I am getting things is through Ning, i.e., a message that says a I have a new message.
I have heard from no one else about anything regarding FOU other that what I get in the daily digest, which I check and read only infrequently due to time constraints.
I would much rather get everything through regular e-mail, but I know I am in a minority on this point. It just adds to what I have to do to have to stop and log into Ning, read and reply through it...
Plus, as far as I know, there has been nothing done for certain about the meeting in DC this summer. If so, I have not heard anything.
To my most recent question: Is it possible to take part in a conference call while driving by cell phone?

- Thanks, Harry for the info. If I am traveling that weekend (which is a real possibility), can I do this (both calls) by cell?

- Hi Harry--
I am sorry that I did not get your February message about the DC meeting in August. I never received a notice about it and did not see it until I tonight when I got the notice about message today.
Regarding your call on 17 May, I do not have Skype nor any computer cameras (which I believe are need for Skype).
Another problem for me is the timing. Sunday afternoons are simply terrible for me to try to schedule things like this. We both work during the week (including more Saturdays that we like) and really try to keep weekends from Friday night (our date night) until Sunday evening (we start getting ready for the next week) for us. (I also try to go to Southeast GA every 2 - 2.5 months to help my mom, who although is still in good health is 84 and widowed. This will usually involve driving on one, if not, both bookend weekends.) This is why I did not make your most recent call. Is ther anyway that we could do these calls at night, preferably during the week? (I will continue to do my best to make Board calls. Speaking of the Board, has there been any follow-up to some of the things we discussed during the last call. I have not seen anything, but have not had time to long into Ning to check. I thought I would receive some notices when things were added.)
To get back to on of your original questions, I have not heard from eitherLani or Erin thus far...
Regards,
Dewaine
