Would it be considered a breach of security if the exact location and time were revealed for the summit?
Hey! Where's Eddie!!! Shunned by Ms E and now Pet Talk Confidential. :( (;) :D :D )
He's such a sweet natured guy that I'm sure he could bring compromise to any situation, so he really must be included. :D
Can't wait for the next in depth report to hear how all the representative's flights were, how they're all handling the jet lag (looks like the Chicagoans will have the worst of it there), how Filou and Tigris welcomed everyone with open paws, how all the world problems are now solved....you know...details!!! :D
Oh, and don't forget the pics. :D
Ok, tomorrow at 7.20 a.m. pettalk time (which is too early for Barbara standard time) I'll be at Terminal 2 Munich airport to pick up the Chicago correspondents who will start in an hour or so at O'hare airport.
We are really very glad to confirm that our Moldovan correspondent who is responsible for all the countries east from here (Austria -China) could make it possible to come- until Monday afternoon this question was open (Can you believe a recommended letter from Germany to Moldova took 5 (in letters five) weeks????). It was an invitation needed for the visa and I could have walked there in that time.
We say thanks to the German Embassy at Chisinau;) Vio will arrive 9.45 GMT via Timisoara (can you find out where that is;) ;) :p ).
The Scandinavian delegation will arrive at 18.00 GMT Friady evening provided they have their oran!ge streetfighter boarded by that time !
I am nervous and nuts and looking forward and thrilled and excited:D :) :D :) :D :)
Filou and Tigris know there is something happening but have no detailed idea what it could be!
This is truly an historic moment to be cherished and actually I'm not kidding. I love the newspaper updates but they can't begin to really show the feelings behind this anticipating meeting. Anticipated by ALL, not just the lucky delegates. Here here, a toast to all :D
Laurie
But who is going to be at the meeting???
John...GREAT paper.
ROTFL!!!
Can't wait for updates!
Everyone have a safe trip!!! And I second that motion.. we'll want pics!!! :D
I'm so excited for you ALL. The Moldavian representatives look like they've been working their little paws to the pad... Aaawwww!
Have a GREAT TIME and keep us updated, please!
Can't wait for an update!
Hey, you all have fun! As you know diplomates can lead a pretty happy life (sometimes) .....so do you too :D
Mugsy, here's a list of attendees.Quote:

Sara & Don (Edwina's Secretary & hubby) are the Chicago reps.
Randi & John (Fister's mom & dad) are the Copenhagen reps.
Vio (Vio & Juni) is the Moldovan rep (I think she'll be alone).
And Barbara and Seigmar (Filou & Tigris) are the hosts in Munich, Germany.
And Debbie (T & P's Mom) will be moping at home in Chicago all weekend, thinking about the great adventures going on overseas, and wishing she could have arranged to be there too. I mean really, who needs Corvette events when you've got trips to Germany to think about!!! :eek: ;) :rolleyes: :D
Of course the only kitties in attendance will be Filou & Tigris, but I'm sure the others have separate parties planned since mom & dad are gone. We're expecting the E's to be cuddling when Sara & Don get back, Fister will be having a grand time at his luxury pension and Juni & Pichu are partying with Vio's skin sister & brother, so everyone will be having a great week.
So it's about 20:15 Munich time right now (give or take an hour) Thursday evening, so Sara & Don have been there all day, and are probably fast asleep by now...or wish they were...and those are all the details I can fill in, we'll have to get the rest from Barbara.
Barbara, are you out there? WE NEED DETAILS!!! :D
And I can't believe Vio needed an invitation before they'd allow the visa for her to come! I mean geeze, can't she go on a vacation without having an invitation? I'm so glad all the paperwork made it through in time though. I just know you're all going to have the best time ever! :D
Randi here - it's 9.45 PM now. I talk to Barbara now and again on instant msg., she told us that Sara and Don have arrived safely and they have been to see a Castle and a German beer garden today, they've just gone back to their hotel - dead tired. We expect they'll be fresh and less jet lagged tomorrow when we arrive. :D
We'll be taking Fister to the pension tomorrow at 10.00 and then do the packing. Leaving from CPH airport at 17.15 PM and will arrive at 19.00.
Wish more of you could have been there, but we promise to have a drink for you - and who knows, one day we may show up in the USA. ;) We'll all be following closely what's going on on Pt, so keep posting! :)
PS. Sorry, I'm too tired to post anything now, but I expect we will over the coming days! :eek:
PICTURES, LOTS OF PICTURES! And, preferably before you all get, uh, comfy with the beer! :D
Although some of those after getting comfy with the beer are the best and the funniest, even if a little on the blurry side. ;) :DQuote:

And I'm glad to hear S & D made it safely and are already touristing and seeing the sites. A castle - cool! I love seeing castles, they are all so different, yet all the same too. And a beer garden - yummy! I'm going to have to stop on my way home to get some good German beer to make myself feel at least somewhat a part of all of this. ;) :D
Ok, I know everyone is arriving and having lots of fun....but c'mon...I need updates!!! I'm living this vicariously through all of you and I can't do it unless I have updates!!! I know Barbara is now the only one with access to a computer....I'm dying here!
Oh, and a pic or two to tide us over would be great too. :D
Yes, pictures, Pleeeeeeeze. :D :cool:
Just a short update before I go down to make breakfast for many people and cats:
Everyone made it safely to our place.
The cats were overwhelmed by the attention they got. They juts cannot decide whether they loved the original US American Temptations most (Tigris had opened a bag while unpacking his gift package:D) or Vio's hand made cushions designed by herself -after getting home from work Thursday evening she (and Juni) spent half the night to make 2 for F+T, 2 for E+E and one for Fister!!!!!
They had not yet the chance to taste the Danish catfood Fister recommended as they had a dinner mainly of Temptations -everyone wanted to made friends with them ;).
I am afraid although everyone was as tired as can be we spent the time until 1 a.m. to chat and laugh and cuddle some very nervous kitties;)
Filou broke my camera last week :( so we will have to see whether this afternoon we get some pix from the others up to this computer:)
We had a toast for all of you and it looks as if we can have some more these days.
Can't wait for Pics and an Update!!!
Barbara, thanks for the update! You mean EVERYONE is staying with you? It is a PT sleepover? OHHHHH.....I want to be there.
The temptations sound 'yummy', and I can just imagine Vio's pillows are lovely. The special fish dinner? I know the cats will think they are in haven. Aren't T&F going to be VERY spoiled by five people fawning over them?
What did you make for breakfast?
It sounds like I am missing a very fantastic gathering. I wish I could be there, too! Thank you for taking some time out of your festivities to update us. I hope that you have a fun-filled visit! Filou and Tigris, enjoy all of the extra attention and international cuddles!:)

International Cuddles! That is just TOO cute!!!:)
I'm so glad to hear that everyone has arrived safely. :) I'm also looking forward to seeing some pictures. :)

Late Sat. Night?!?!?!?!?!?!?
HMMMMMMMM!!!!!;) :) :D
Hope all is well!!!
HELLO OOOOOOOOOO
Are there Any Pet Talkers Awake in Germany?!?!?!?!?!
I Know theres' a Big,Secret Pow-Wow!!!
But Don't forget us Stateside!!!;) :) :D
Ok, we are having fun but all the chairs are downstairs so whatever I do here I do while standing:D :D :D
Vio, Randi and John are staying at our place, Sara and Don in a nearby hotel. We went to the Alps yesterday but came home very late and tired as the unusual nice weather created a major traffic jam.
Today it's Octoberfest.
We had drinks to all of you and are talking about you all a lot. We'd love to have you here:D
Up to now, we have seen that USB isn'T USB so we have not managed to get any pix on this machine but we ill try again:(
<whine> I wanna go to the Alps..... ;)Quote:

It's funny because for some reason yesterday, I couldn't get our trip to Switzerland out of my mind. I kept thinking about how beautiful it is there and how we went to an area way up in the Alps that doesn't allow cars and how neat it was seeing a place basically untouched by modernization with all the pristine beauty....must have been getting some of those thought waves from you as you were thinking and talking about us here. :D Oh how I wish I was there with you guys.
Thanks for the update Barbara. :D We had some German beer this weekend in honor of you guys. :D
I'm glad to hear you're all having a great time and the weather is cooperating. Now, about those pictures.....;) :D
Oh, and I thought it was cute how you all posted on Pepper's COTD thread yesterday. Must have been quite the production for everybody to have to sign in to PT then sign out so the others could sign in under their own name. I can just tell you're all having way too much fun. :D
Glad everyone arrived safely! :D
Now.... where are those pics!? ;)
Nini-nini-nini :p
We are having such a great time here, thatīs why you will have to wait for pictures until tomorrow or after tomorrow when I download them to the Image Station.
Barbara and Siegmar are the nicest people, Sara and Don are very sweet and friendly, Randi and John are the best too. Debbie, I know you wish you were here, I hope next time when we meet (in Moldova maybe :) ), you can come.
So, we will keep you in suspence :p
Glad All s going well!!!!!
Have another beer for us...Randi...Have a Glass of wine for me!!!!
I know its' tough during Octoberfest....but we are resourceful,aren't we????
Oh the Alps....I remember well!!!!!
O.K.
Green with Jealousy!!!!
Cannot wait for pics....
I will post more tomorrow, my connection flight was 3 hours later, so I just want to sleep now. Just wanted to show you something more, so you die of envy :)

All of Us
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...6/fb01c6c8.jpg
We're home safely, our flight scheduled for 19.45 was delayed one and half hour - at a point the airline wasn't sure we'd be able to go at all. :eek: Most of Denmark has been without power from 12.30 - 19.15, so our flight hadn't even left Copenhagen when we got to the airport!! It has been chaos in Denmark!!
We've had the most wonderful time in Munich, will post more tomorrow - plus pics, we're dead tired and heading for the bed!!
Going to get Fister tomorrow before 12.00. :D
You're all back! Glad to hear everyone made it safe and sound, with only minor setbacks. Gee Randi, why was all the power out in Denmark? Sounds kinda like when we had that big power outage.
Thanks for the teaser pics, now like Miss Meow says, hurry up and sleep so we can get more pics and the full story on what you all did.
Yes, I'm dying of envy, Vio! You got to snuggle with Tigris!!! <whine> I wanna snuggle with Tigris.... ;) :D Ok, ok, I know you're all sick of my whining already. ;) :rolleyes: :D
And what about Iraq, and the Israeli/Palestinian conflict? Sara, are you going to be heading to Washington DC to consult with the President and fill him in on all the resolutions you all came up with?
I'm just dying here......(again, yet, still, you get the idea) ;) :D
I just love the Pic of all the 2 leggers Together!!!!
I, of course recognize Johnza...but I need place cards for the rest!!!
As long as we've been chatting, I have never seen a shot of Randi...so are you on the right or the left?!?!?!
John..Are you loving being Surrounded??
I also love the pic of "The Hosts"...They are Beautiful!!!!!
Oh The Abyssinian!!!!!!
Gorgeous!!!
Glad a Good Time was had by ALL!!!!
Since I know everyone in the pic is probably still fast asleep, I'll do the roll call.
From left to right, Vio (Vio & Juni), Don (Sara's hubby), Sara (Edwina's Secretary), John (Johnza), Randi (Randi), Siegmar (Barbara's hubby) and Barbara.
And in the first pic of the "hosts" Tigris looks like "Wow, for me??!?!?!!" The answer must have been yes because then he digs right in. :D
Great pics. :) I can't wait to see more. :)
Yeah!!! T&Ps' Mom!!!!
Thank You,I needed a Map!!!
Great Pic!!
Keep 'em COMIN'!!
You guys certainly looked like you were having a beer ........ oh, um, I mean a ball ..............:D
