That sounds great, and it wouldn't be too difficult for us to get to, so I'll try to remember it for mext year. Maybe we could even try to be organised enough to make some kind of deliberate get-together over it!

I thought chainmailmaiden's trip up the Rhine with stops at Christmas Markets sounded fun, and they packed a lot into a very short break, but I suppose getting even 2 or 3 days off over a weekend might not be possible for you.
