Plans for April and May (none / 0)

In Madrid we have a long weekend for Easter as Good Thursday and Good Friday are off. In 2010 this weekend falls on April 1-4. I think this might be a good weekend for an extended ET meetup if that fits your travel schedule and I would expect most people around Europe to have at least the Friday off.

I thought Spain was a Catholic country.... In Italy, Easter Monday is a public holiday, but Good Friday is not (though a lot of places are closed anyway).

As for the main diary, I could probably meet in Vicenza, Milano (less convenient) or on the south of Lago di Garda (public transport to Riva, let alone anywhere else on the lake, is a pain).

Let's consider Vicenza. (none / 0)

At this point that looks to be around May 2 for us. If there are any good Mayday celebrations on the 1st, we could rearrange to participate.

It looks like I'll be around. No idea what's going on May 1 so far ahead.

No problem. (none / 1)

We will look forward to the pleasure of your company - and that of Amanda, as well - if possible. As you write - maybe two meals.

I was planning to go to Barça somewhere in spring, might be able to attach a leg to Madrid, too.

Seriously, April 1-4.
