Jack Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 We will be with you guys at heart... Unfortunately, we are saying our good-byes in JHB on the 2nd, so cannot make it. My 2 cents: If you can get there, DO IT! It is a clan of awesome people who are all in the same boat and can share ideas and experiences together... it is a great experience with great people.

Short&Tall Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 I have not seen Flockie on here recently.Anytime is fine for us.What time would really suit you Mikimont - or maybe what time would you ideally like to be heading back?Orion you also have a fair distance to travel - what sort of times suit you best? Would we be better looking at a destination such as Greytown (no idea about places only ever driven through once!) - then we would all take a bit of a drive but it would hopefully be a lot less for you guys.

Mikimont Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Hi we would like to make a move back no later that 4. Greytown is sadly an absolute pit , we went there once and no restuarant that I can see.I dont really mind , hubs is doing the driving , im a scaredy cat on this R74 between greytown and stanger in daylight let alone night time.Orion is going to be staying in durbs as far as I know , where do the rest of you live ?

Short&Tall Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 We are in Maritzburg, Piggly Wiggly at Kloof is an easy drive for us. I know your concern re roads. We have recently started going the long way round on one route that we were previously happy to drive in the daytime, we stopped using it at dust a long time prior to that. After seen way too many near misses, some which only just missed us, as well as the increasingly large pot holes then the full bottle of beer thrown directly at us by the people on the bakkie in front of us was the final straw.

Orion25 Posted March 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 HI There,Mikimont is correct we will be travelling down on the Friday night after work and staying either in PMB or Durbs, so anytime on Saturday is fine, we just need to remember that some people work so I think the earliest we will be able to make it, so that everyone can join us in 12.30, Mikimont will that be ok?We can re-post the directs for Piggly Wiggly Kloof again for those of us that have forgotten and for the newbies to join us.Apollo, any news from Gwyn? otherwise I will phone her over the weekend, this has been one hectic week.We are looking so forward to seeing everyone again, and meeting all the new People, Danie so far that's you and your family Cheers.T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danie.v.H Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 12:30 is great for us. As a "Newbie" we are looking forward to making new friends and finally being able to converse with others that are dealing with the same trails and tribulations that we are dealing with. Orion we know where Piggly is as our childrens clinic sister is there so we go quite often. RegardsDanie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short&Tall Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 That menu looks rather yummy alas no sushi ROFL (teasing)They had a very wide selection of food and drink. The way they were able to split the billing as well means that you can leave at any time you like without it being a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short&Tall Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 It is the 2nd April at 1.00pm right?Mikimont was keen on 12:30 so they can head off a bit earlier. Last time I think there was a bit of variation when people arrived and left which also worked rather well (as we kept being reminded of peoples names with the repeated introductions - great for me with a memory like a sieve when it comes to names!).

Danie.v.H Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 (as we kept being reminded of peoples names with the repeated introductions - great for me with a memory like a sieve when it comes to names!).I second that. I Can remember faces but dont ask me for names. The confusing part is going to be when we have to start remembering each others real names and not the forum display names. BTW my real name is Koos not Danie .... Only joking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
