Hello,

By popular vote the weekend of the 10th and 11th of April has been chosen.

The idea behind the meet is to spend the days exploring, being guided by those who live in or know the area to see the places that are not in the guidebooks.

Florence is the main centre, but Pisa and Lucca are both very close, so we can pop across to those as well (Lucca is especially gorgeous).

Anyone is welcome, whether you're a member of RFF or not, whether you are a ninja photographer or like me, take many photos of your feet and the lens cap...

If you click here, you can access the Google Map which anyone can edit. Add whatever comes to mind that might be useful (cool little village, somewhere to see, hotel, eatery, bar....).

Finally, although the 10th and 11th are the days, many people will be there before and after the weekend (I think I will fly in on the Thursday and out on the Monday/Tuesday, for example).

Ok, I booked flights. GF is coming too. Flying to Pisa on Thursday midday and returning on Sunday night.
We 'd be interested to spend first night in Pisa, see Lucca on Friday then Florence for the weekend. What do you think ?
 
right on, looking for flights right now... it's my g/f's birthday today, do you think a little trip to Italy would be an appropriate present? :D

and I still owe a dinner to two of the locals! saving up starts now.

I think this sounds like a great date window...and the additional locations would make for excellent new subject opportunities. Now If I can just block out the time.
 
How wonderful to live in Europe. Here's one from my last trip to Florence. I am a little further south and I won't be there next year I'm afraid.

Happy birthday Simon!!
the trip is a perfect present!! (trip & some gear too, isn't it?):)

Btw, looking for flights too..
 
nice! I didn't know about RFF euromeetings! I may be coming on Saturday or Sunday, it's just a 2 hours train ride from Rome.
 
Count me IN!!
I live in Florence since one year and a half, so I can guide you downtown (at least for what concerns food and drinks)

I'll not be in town the 10th but I'll be available all the previous week, the 11th, and the week after, so be prepared to visit many good restaurants if you'll stay more than those exact two days.. :p

Send me a PM if you want my e-mail address or you need any local help..

See you soon!
Rob.
 
Well done Kully,
great to see many friends confirming their presence at the meeting. I hope others will join in!
Of course I'm in and Gaia too. Also couple of friend from my local fotoclub will join the meeting.
Roberto, your help will be highly appreciated, I'll send you a pm.
Let's see how people set their flights and hotel reservations and then we can plan the whole WE.
I'm going to update my signature,
ciao
 
alright, here we go!
the birthday present got accepted, that means I'll be bringing my bird. :)

Hi guys! I'll be there!
I still don't know if it will be for the entire weekend or only one day.
I live in Savona, near Genova (it's 3.30 hours drive from Firenze), I can offer a double bed, if someone likes to stay more and visit other places, please MP me

Ciao
Franco
 
Hello Franco, that's a very kind offer. It will be good to see you in Florence.

I'll be flying in on the Wednesday evening and out on the Monday. I'll be booking tomorrow when my wife decides whether she wants to come or not.
