Now the waiting begins.... in my case, for my ticket confirmation!

I just hope I haven't left it too late --- after a 'last call for roommates at HobbitCon' on the Fiesta Friday thread, I finally took the plunge and ordered a three day economy ticket and a room at the hotel for four nights (will arrive there on Friday afternoon). Now I'm officially in the queue and super-nervous in case I won't get in. Just realised there is a sort of Forum there where people sell tickets/hotel room reservations when their leave has been cancelled or other problems prevent their going. If I had known that, I could have saved about 250 euros (is that about 200 pounds sterling?). Well, I've been sick with flu for so long that it took a long time to nerve myself to decide in favour of it, always checking on their website if tickets/hotel rooms were still available, and they were, so I wasn't worried --- not until now! Anyway, we shall see. Keep your fingers crossed for me, please! So you'll be in Bonn four nights as well --- that should give us time to meet (which would be great!!). Once I know that I'll definitely be going, I'll let you know the particulars. Don't worry about getting around without knowing German, most younger people speak English in various degrees of fluency, and once you get there, you may try to get a route map for the public transport system. I tried to find it on the internet, it's supposed to be a pdf file, but for some reason it isn't working on my laptop. I'll include the link anyway, perhaps you can get it to work: http://www.vrsinfo.de/fileadmin/Dateien/downloadcenter/SVP2013_RegionBonn.pdf (okay, it did show up on my screen, my laptop is ancient and takes forever) --- this is the railway and subway and S-Bahn plan, anything to do with rails, not the buses. Normally, there are electronic displays in all the carriages showing the upcoming stop, so you should be fine once you've memorised the name of the stop. Since the S-Bahn etc. do stop at every stop, it's easier than getting around on a bus because they usually stop on demand. But you'll see. If you got around Prague, getting around Bonn which is much smaller should be okay. Got to go but will talk to you later --- have a nice weekend! Perhaps
