Re: Belgium September 7th Anyone?

[Guest guest]

Hi !

I got " new " xrays yesterday and am fedex'g them to DeSmet next week.

If he says I'm a go, I'm scheduling. I asked if I scheduled next

week, what would be the soonest? He said Sep 7! Go figure...

He also said something about having only one " slot " left that

day...perhaps you took it! ) And he mentioned taking a week's

holiday, not sure if it is before or after Sep 7 - I asked and we'll

see. Soooo, long answer to the point? I may be with ya on that day!

Am still sorting all the details...not sure about flights/how to get

there from Vancouver, but I love Vancouver! ;o) I got a deal with

Expedia dot com to go back East in 2 weeks, and got a great deal,

flying into / leaving from different airports...perhaps give it a

try, though honestly? I haven't checked myself if they do int'l or

not. Details....

Anyway, we'll be in touch !
