The plan

The general plan is simple.

Show up Friday, have a drink, tell some lies, have another drink, eat, talk to people, sleep!

A huge asado for Saturday is planned, and lots more to do and travellers to meet. Expect a great time - everyone raved about last years Viedma Meeting, so go and have a great time!

Monday, time to head south for Christmas and New Years at Ushuaia, or east or west or wherever!

A few photos just in from Oscar:

Sorry Ken, I forget your pain!

Thank you very much Annette for delivering the presents from Susan and Grant.
(We sent tshirts and stickers via Annette to the meeting - we've been trying for years to get them to him, but no one was travelling at the right time - but this year Annette volunteered and made it happen! Grant)
