<Will-Do> als iedereen (bijv) voor het einde van okt de opties uitzoekt vaar hij/zij naar toe zou willen (incl kosten etc) hebben we dan een duidelijk overzicht en kunnen we een goede keuze maken <diggie> Will-Do: klinkt als 'n plan <aequitas> Will-Do: ik denk dat we eerst de eisen moeten opstellen <aequitas> max kosten en zo <aequitas> als we die duidelijk hebben kunnen we precies zoeken wat ons past <Will-Do> deal, ik heb page aangemaakt waar iedereen zijn verwachtingen op kan zetten <aequitas> yup, enkele eisen en iedereen +1en <aequitas> lijkt me het makkelijkst <aequitas> anders moeten we met tabellen gaan werken <Will-Do> gewoon neerzetten "[naam] wil een echt bed" en dan volgende persoon [naam]+1 <aequitas> Will-Do: sommige dingen, zoals echt bed, kunnen we we als [iedereen] doen <aequitas> en dat mensen uitzondering mogen aangeven
If you have a preference towards $something on the trip (like, "no more then $moneys" or "I want to have my own personal room"), please add this preference on the list and we're taking this list in account.

Expectations / Wishes
- diggie wants a chalet in the snow (that is, on the piste)
- +1 aequitas (if the price is good)
- wants a chalet next to or close to the piste(s)/gondola (freedom to go to the piste any time)
- EVERYONE (mandatory)
- diggie wants a chalet on walking distance to the piste
- +1 elanthia
- diggie likes trees around the slopes (~1500-~2000m high ski-village)
- ...
- No more than 500 euro's cost total (housing, eating, ski-passes, fuel)
- +1 Will-Do
- +1 aequitas
- +1 momo
- +1 elanthia
- +1 thyrif
- A real bed to sleep on
- EVERYONE
- And I mean no bunk-beds either or sleeping in the living-room necessary
- EVERYONE
- - (exception?)
- -1 thyrif is fine with bunk beds
- People who snore sleep in the same room(s), or will look for a room mate who doesn't care
- +1 diggie
- +1 Will-Do
- +1 Failbaitr
- +1 aequitas (on roommate who doesn;t care)
- +1 Elmer
- +1 Elanthia
- As a couple with ... I would like to sleep in one separate room (without bunk beds (stapelbed) of course :P)
- +1 Will-Do
- +1 Failbaitr
- +1 aequitas
- +1 momo
- +1 diggie; if i'm not coming alone :)
- want the whole group to be in one apartment
- +1 diggie; if "apartment" is replaced with "chalet"
- ...
- Doesn't give a rat's ass... just want to enjoy the snow (let's not fuss too much about costs, arrangements and location)
- +1 FooBar
- Own kitchen (in the apartment, as opposed to a hotel and catering)
- Depends on the cost, but by assuming catering would be a lot more expensive: Will-Do
- +1 Elanthia (we can also bring a lot of food ourselves, pasta etc.)
- +1 diggie; cooking is cheap, but not all nights, because eating out is a lot of fun.
- Regular changes of drivers during the trip (aka, every
34 hours or so a different driver. Changing doesn't have to take long, just hop out and hop in the other side).- Will-Do
- Elanthia (can't drive much longer than 2 hours, I'm not a regular driver) - Same counts for me (=Will-Do)
- <aequitas> wisselen is idd een voorwaarde, 2 uur is mij te kort maar 4 uur is een prima compromis, eigenaren van de autos gaan er mee akoord anders stellen ze hun auto niet beschikbaar en gaan we voor een busje kijken
- thyrif can drive for about four hours straight, but hasn't driven in the mountains yet
- diggie can sometimes drive for 16 hours straight, but sometimes not. Conclusion: stops are a good idea!
Also, stops aren't evil. Stops are nice: have coffee together, maybe ppl wanna switch cars, talk for a bit, etc. \e/ STOPS ARE SOCIAL! \e/ +1

Traveling
Lent some busses to travel to Adorra, build up wifi in the busses, have an awesome time.Costs: Too much
<Elmer> ter indicatie.. een Ford Galaxy kost maandelijks meer dan vierduizend euro <Will-Do> jamaar wij willen hem 10 dagen <Will-Do> (vrijdag - maandag, zondag zijn ze dicht) <aequitas> enkele reis met europcar kost 750 euro <aequitas> utrecht chambery (val thorens/frankrijk) <aequitas> en dat is maar met 300 km inclusief <aequitas> dus komt nog ongeveer 600*0,25 bij <aequitas> en brandstof <Elmer> Will-Do: dan kost die galaxy voor 10 dagen dus 1300 EUR + extra kilometers.. ten minste <aequitas> kunnen we stellen dat een busje huren geen optie is tenzij we echt in problemen komen met het aantal auto's
- I want to leave at friday evening; after my work
- + 1 Will-Do
- + Failbaitr
- + aetab
- + Elmer
- I want to leave at saturday morning; after a short night of sleep
- + 1 Foobar
- + 1 diggie; I'd like to start travel at around 3 in the morning. Be at $location around 17:00 or so.
diggie sez: I think I can supply a car.
- Renault Scénic. Seats 5 and a fair amount of
garbageluggage. With snowboards/ski's it seats only 4. Diesel usage approx 5.5l/100km. Privately owned, lightly dented (read: other drivers are noooo problem) - Alternatively: We can use the merth-mobile (the VW T3 camper). Seats 5 + lots of baggage. However, max speed = ~95-105 km/h :-)
- In both cases: I have a small trailer (1.20m x 1m x 50cm) and both my vehicles have a towing bracket for that. Might be very useful for lots of luggage (no ski's / snowboards however... E_WONTFIT)
