Revision as of 02:36, 12 April 2004
The best place to learn about who am I is at my website www.jimmywales.com.
Here is the current itenerary for my WikiTour of Europe this summer. I am desirous of meeting as many people as I can at the various get togethers that are being planned.
You may edit this. Not to reschedule me, obviously, but to let me know when and where I should be within this schedule, or to suggest things I should do. This is a 'trip of a lifetime' for me; I have never been to Europe.
(I have removed some edits, but only after taking note of them. I appreciate very much all the advice that I have gotten so far, and invite more of the same!)
3 June 2004 (Wednesday) - arrive London Heathrow, staying at Cherry Court Hotel (see also: another website for the same hotel).
Following advice gotten from visitors to this page, I will be taking the Heathrow Express to Paddington, and then treat myself to a taxi to my hotel. To get over jet lag, we'll likely go for a stroll in Hyde Park and perhaps Kensington Gardens.
Info on the London meet-up is here: User:Jimbo_Wales/2004-06-05
7 June 2004 (Monday) - I'm planning on visiting the House of Lords because I think it's not likely to remain in the same form for much longer.
8 June 2004 (Tuesday) - flying on Ryan Air (cheap!) from London Stansted-Frankfurt-Hahn Airport and staying in Frankfurt.
I'll be taking the Stansted Express train from Liverpool Street to get to the air port.
In Germany, from Frankfurt-Hahn Airport to Frankfurt am Main train station, we will be taking the Omnibusse
In Frankfurt, we will be staying at the Pension Bruns hotel, which is within walking distance (13-14 minutes) of Frankfurt am Main. We will arrive there at noon. Does anyone want to have dinner?
9 June 2004-12 June 2004 - WOS conference, but I'm not sure how much of it I will actually end up attending, it depends on the topics and scope, and also on how tempted I am by other cool things in Berlin to see and do.
Among the sightseeing we will be doing is a visit to the Pergamon Museum.
11 June 2004 (Friday) - tentatively scheduled on panel at WOS 3
13 June 2004 (Sunday) - Wikipedia meeting in Berlin - page in German about this
Is this meeting still on Sunday the 13th, or has it changed to Saturday the 12th?
14 June 2004 (Monday) - travel to Rothenburg, staying at Hotel Uhl
16 June 2004 (Wednesday) - travel to Munich, we will be staying at Krupfalz Hotel 2 nights.
18 June 2004 (Friday) - travel to Berchtesgaden, staying here courtesy of TomK32
19 June 2004 (Saturday) - daytrip back to Munich for Wikipedia meeting (not staying overnight in Munich, but returning to Berchtesgaden late) - possibly my wife and daughter will not come back to Munich on this day, it depends on the timing and plans.
21 June 2004 (Monday) - day trip to Salzburg, Austria (staying in Berchtesgaden still)
23 June 2004 (Wednesday) - to User:Fantasy's farm in South Tyrol
At this point, there is some confusion, until the Genoa, Italy meeting date is more settled. We may leave from South Tyrol for Genoa on Friday or Saturday, depending on whether the Genoa Wikipedia meeting will be Saturday or Sunday. I am hoping for Saturday, but remain flexible.
25 June 2004 (Friday) - to Genoa, Italy.
page in Italian about Wikipedia meeting in Genoa
27 June 2004 (Sunday) - to Cinque Terre? Or not until next day, depending on time of Genoa get-together
28 June 2004 (Monday) - train to Pisa for lunch, onward to Siena. I will be staying at Alma Domus, which is run by nuns. This is the week of Il Palio.
(During our time in Siena, we will take a day trip to Florence, I think.)
3 July 2004 (Saturday) - leaving Siena for ??? (suggestions? Probably Bologna?) Somewhere more or less on the way to Bergamo, where we have plane reservations on the coming Monday.
5 July 2004 (Monday) - to Bergamo
6 July 2004 (Tuesday) - return to London from Bergamo
7 July 2004 (Wednesday) -return to Florida from London
A barnstar for Jimbo - he is so nice. Someday a historical statue will be built for him! 0 01:31, 17 Feb 2004
