I have just booked a short city break in Porto for a few days at the end of January and was wondering if anyone else is likely to be in the city around that time - if you are please let me know!

I might be, I'll wrangle up a few drunks and we can have lunch, if you're available.

Just let me know when you might be able to get into the city and we can work out a plan.

Unfortunately, not me. But January is a nice time to visit, it's much quieter - but beware of short working days and venues closing early.

I can be there between the 26th and the 29th.
Excellent! I'll be arriving late afternoon on the 26th and have work calls I'll have to attend to on the 27th so how about drinks in the evening on the 27th or lunch on the 28th?

I'll make the necessary arrangements for lunch on the 28th (the drunks have to be wrangled). If I can make it on the 27th I'll let you know.
