East Coast meetup and elsewhere

For the Philadelphia Weekend 30th April/1st May please see new thread FUN IN PHILADELPHIA
-
My bad not saying where I'm traveling to, currently I'm in New Braunfels, TX. which is pretty nice. Hotel is situated on the Guadalupe River, which is a great setting. I guess I should have been clued in by the towns name, but there are a few German eateries here. Ate at the Water Hafbrau tonight which was good. I fly out on Wednesday.

Garland, TX. 4/10- 4/19.
-
The Gristmill is only about ten minutes away in Gruene (pronounced "green"), and has decent food and a great view of the Comal River off the back patio. If you like live music, it's also right by the Gruene Hall, billed as "Texas' Oldest Dance Hall".
If you like beer and breweries, you could take a tour of The New Braunfels Brewing Company, which is right downtown. They aren't one of those cookie cutter craft breweries that seem to have proliferated in the last few years. Not all of their attempts succeed, but I like that they experiment, and sometimes the results are excellent.

Great suggestion @Chris . I got off of work early, went to Gruene, walked around, went to some winery's, stopped by the Gruene Hall, they were having a poetry reading while I was there, so I went for drinks and dinner in the Gristmill. Again, thanks, great place, I prefer to stay away from chain restaurants

Don't know why the pics came out so small.
-
OK, a bit better.
-
Glad you enjoyed it. New Braunfels and the surrounding area is one of the more likeable parts of Texas.
-
Prior to Garland, TX., I'm flying to Cincinnati, OH. today until Friday.
-
Again, I fail to keep up with my travels. Last week I ended up in Norfolk, VA. which I love. Currently, I'm in Dallas. I flew here on Sunday, probably on the first plane in after the storms, and never had so much turbulence on a plane for 45 minutes. Glad I'm here though. I also love this city. I'm staying at a hotel that's having a convention for nurses. Fun to watch them going out looking for their cowboy of dreams.
-
Next stop, Berlin 6/28 to 7/4.
-
London, UK. 7/20 - 7/26. My time here is kind of taken up during this period, but I would like to get to Rivet & Hyde.
-
Saw today that an AA flight from London, LHR to Charlotte, NC was evacuated at the gate, prior to take off due to smoke in the cabin. Fortunately I wasn't on this one.
-
A couple of pictures from the DC4 / The Flat Head party. Then me on the underground.
-
More from Berlin, at my favorite flea market.
-
Hotel I stayed at for free, using points.
-
Had a great dinner here at Lutter & Wegner. Also ate one evening at Max & Moritz, which was nice.
-
Back to UK 7/20, this is coming up fast as did Berlin. Looking forward to spending the day 7/22, with the stubborn crew.
-
I made it to Gosport 22 July and had a great day. Giles taught me how to play Boule, which I won, but I think @Giles let me win. First pictures are on arrival to Gosport from Portsmouth Harbour.
-
Then I thought that Giles arranged for the Red Arrows for a fly over for my arrival. I was wrong.
