RE: Why I -probably- won't be going to SteemFest 3 in Poland this year
hey hey. sorry but understandable to hear it! it still 4 months out tho, but i must admit sf2 had been announced way earlier. too early tbh. but this is a bit late yes :)
im sorry to hear about ur bad experience for you and @creutzy in a previous trip. sounds quite nasty.
im a hobby travel booker too next to organising events so...
ive looked into some alternatives and wow indeed flights from CPH are quite expensive (310 eurs i found on skyscanner)
alternative:
fly to Katowice: 140 eur get a car and drive 1.5 hrs to KRK - costs additional 60 eur. saves 100 eur.
or.... if possible... Fly from malmo syrup MMX to krk direct with wizzair for 67 EUR!
that is i think the most cheap i can find. indont know how eady it is to get to MMx (about 2 hrs by public transport - 45 mins by car)
Heyyyy :D @roelandp !!!! <3 <3 <3
It's never too early for plans like this I think - the main problem for me is the job actually... :( (even though it might not seem so from this post) I'll see if I can get out of it.
Malmo is quite close (and yes, the flights are muuuuch cheaper - but the company sooooo crappy....) but the schedule is not convenient considering that I'm working (With Norwegian from CPH I can fly in the evening at least :((( But it wasn't 310 EUR !!!! It was around 160 at the moment I think !!! )
The Katowice solution mmmmeeeh ..... because drive how? And... in Poland - no :(((
THANK YOU for the effort !!!! I find this CUTE, SWEET, AMAZINGLY KIND and SO YOU :D So...... ok, I'm starting to change my mind already haha .... You're the BEST !!!!
But seriously, my work situation is bad - I can't take days off because this is how the particular UN contract I have is, even if I work overtime to do so... So it'll be hard to get out :(((
Look how much he wants you there @meanmommy33!!! So sweet of him to do all these checks. And you know I will be checking for your flights regularly too ;) a perfectly priced one just might pop up!
That's what I thought exacly as well, riiiight????
He is the sweetest - and I'll be doing it too then... ;) <3
Okay, first of all, it's so good to see you blogging again, @meanmommy33! And I hear you on your reasons SF isn't (probably) in the cards this year. I'm also 100% impressed that @roelandp cares enough to try to help you with travel plans. ;-)
I'm sure this year's SF will be fantastic. Wish I could go. I also would love to see a Steem Fest on this side of the world at some point...
I understand that travelling to North America can be harder for many, especially the US in the current political situation. That said, it would be pretty awesome to have something that brings some of our European and international friends this way. Canada is pretty friendly (I live here, so I'm biased, of course). Even Nicaragua or Ecuador or Costa Rica... somewhere in North or South or Central America would be cool for next year's SteemFest... if at all possible. And, yes, more notice would also be helpful, as I'd just booked my ticket to a smaller Steem meetup, but we can all only ever do the best we can. No choice is going to make everyone happy. Keep doin' your thing, @roelandp.
For me, I'm opting for a low-key gathering next month in the Smoky Mountains with some good Steem-friends. We've booked a house for the weekend, and I know it's going to be so much fun!
Hope to meet you someday in person, my friend. 💖
found the best option just now:
CPH - KRK (norwegian direct) via google flights. 107 EUR
Yep this is what I meant ! But it was more expensive when I looked it up whaaaat ?!?!?! :D
Oh... I think it was because I looked Friday to Sunday ('cause this is what I can manage probably :/ ) - and also I see here return on Monday :(((
