Man, I would love to go but we are already going to the Netherlands for my wife's high school reunion in May. She went to the American school at the Hague while her father was with GE. I'm going to make it to Basel someday.

Too much going on at work. Fortunately, work hasn't really been affected by the recession so it's hard to get out of the office for long periods of time.

Sounds like fun ! Maybe all of us "New Englanders" could possibly manage to fly out of the same airport/same flight ? That would be SUPER cool ! Maybe everyone that wants to go that's in CT, MA, NY, etc. could meet at one airport for the flight ?

Just an idea . . . .

I don't think Harry or Derek are going but Sir Charles most likely will.

I'll ask him next time I talk to him.

I'd be pleased to be part of a trip to Basel in '11.

Assuming anybody wanted me to be, that is.

I had thought of this a couple of weeks ago, but chickened out. I would love to go , but I would have to take my wife. (She doesn't get the whole Rolex thing.) By the way, does anyone speak Swiss, German, or French.

2011 count me in if you guys seriously put this together.
I was in Switzerland in September and its a beautiful country with GREAT people!
I was also shocked that about 90% of the country spoke English except in the Italian
region.

It is just a couple days after my BDay so we can go out for a belated BDay drink one night.

2013 they are opening a new Hall for the show!!!! Id love to go back in 2013 for that debut
