I have made all my travel arrangements definite:

Arrival / Anreise : Thursday May 22nd at 12:30
Departure / Abreise: Sunday May 25th at 17:20

This means: I opt in for going to the Matrix Reloaded on THURSDAY, in stead of Saturday, as I will be there in the afternoon already, in stead of late at night. (Scott: any more takers yet?)

It also means I will have Thursday afternoon and the whole of Sunday to explore Vienna. Anyone is welcome to join.

Regards,

Ton

Hi everyone,

here is the schedule of my trip to Vienna:

I will arrive late on Thursday evening (21.50 at the airport) and leave on Wednesday May 28th in the afternoon. Like the other panelists, I will be staying at the "Karolinenhof"-Hotel.

I plan to visit the Museum of Modern Art on Monday or Tuesday. I went there last time I was in Vienna and found it absolutely stunning. If you want to accompany me or meet me on one of the other days, just get in touch!

My contact info is on my blog and if you want to recognise me in Vienna you can see a picture of me on the panelists page on the conference website.

I just double checked my schedule, and realized my flight doesn't arrive Thursday until 9:30pm! So Thursday for the Matrix Reloaded doesn't work for me unless it's a very late showing. :-(

I'm thinking about joining for Matrix Reloaded on Saturday evening. But to be fair talking may be a better option given that we can always see the movie at home :)

I will be in London on Monday and Tuesday. Anyone care to meet up there for some food, tourism, and shop talk?

can anyone offer me a lift from mid-germany? i don't expect anyone else from jena/thuringia but if you live (or pass by) in a reasonable distance i could meet you somewhere.

Does anyone know where I can find train/bus schedules for traveling from Budapest to Vienna? Thanks!

Seb, the Austrian Rail (http://www.oebb.at) has an English timetable service at http://fahrplan.oebb.at/bin/oebb.w02/query.exe/en

Hello,

www.elvira.hu has the train timetable. If you want to travel from Budapest to Vienna, you should purchase a special 4-day tourist ticket in Budapest for 8000 HUF. It is valid for one Budapest-Vienna-Budapest round trip by train, and for free public transport in Vienna. It is valid for 4 days.

Bori

Scott, Martin, Bori, thanks very much for your help! I think I'll go for the tourist ticket. (Where can I get it?)

The train I want to take departs at 6:10 from Budapest:

http://www.elvira.hu/elvira.dll/uf?i=budap...isz=1&x=102&y=32#A2

Now, do I need to make a reservation? I read somewhere that it must be made 4 days in advance. I wouldn't want to have a bad surprise, find they won't let me get on the train, and miss David W.'s talk!

What do you guys think? (And how do I make a reservation?)

Excuse me for being such a neophyte!

Seb
