Hi @tpuchalski 
Yes, we still have an open spot Feel free to ask me any question.
Put me on your list! I need to do some serious flight research today. Iâve done a quick check of flights from my area (Northwest Florida) and it looks like itâll be quite a long journey for me. I would probably want to arrive the day before before and maybe even stay till the day after. Maybe in Oslo or Tromso.
Do I need to contact the hotel directly? I would be traveling by myself. Are there any other female, solo travelers who might want to share a hotel room?
Iâm going to check out the Facebook pageâŚ
Thanks!
So exciting to hear that you like to come 
Yes, you will need to book the hotel directly. And I recommand to stay a day or two before or after the meetup in Tromsø. Usually there are good chances for Northern Lights there as well
@tpuchalski - if you need some meetup cards, please contact me as soon as you booked the flights. I do have a few of the daylight cards left
OMG - it took me almost the entire day but I have my flight reservations!
I will post this on the Facebook page also. Is there any woman traveling solo who would be interested in sharing a hotel room? Here are the dates I plan to be at each place.
Oslo - Arrive Nov 9 and depart Nov 10 - 1 night
Longyearbyen - Arrive Nov 10 and depart Nov 13 - 3 nights
Tromso- Arrive Nov 13 and depart Nov 15 - 2 nights
Oslo - Arrive Nov 15 and depart Nov 16 - 1 night
Iâm so excited to be attending this meetup!

Hi! Can I exchange postcards with you?
Hi! Would anyone be willing to exchange? I would love to get stamp(s) from there to my collections . (is there special one?)
I can exchange cards or I could send you card and stamp from Arctic Circle, Finland, where there is also unique stamp(s) you can only get from there.
I just noticed this, and I have to say this trip sounds awsome! I wish this kind of trips will be organized in the future too
Iâm interested to have a signed card from the meetup, let me know what I can send you in return 
hello all meet uppers! I am terrible sorry,
but cannot make it to this amazing meet-up,
i happened to be choosen for a free study

wishing you all a good time!
Please , Scandinavian Traveller, is there any thing I still owe to you
due to the postcards I had ordered?
I will surely repay it, just let me know.

I know not everyone is on Facebook, so posting this here as well: anyone up for a hike on the Friday? Specifically this one Friday morning, âmedium demanding, no glacier hiking experience requiredâ. Iâm going with or without you (
), but would love to have Postcrossing company!

I posted this in the FB group, but it bears repeating:
Norwegians - remember your passport! Oslo-Longyearbyen is not a domestic flight and thereâs passport control in Tromsø.
(I hadnât thought about bringing my passport until a colleague who went to Svalbard in March happened to mention itâŚ!)
Have a great time âŚ
Some photos of Longyearbyen and Svalbard, as they were asked earlier, for those who couldnât make it.

Getting nearer Longyearbyen and Svalbard. It was completely dark already at 2 pm!

Some of us stayed at Mary-Annâs Polarriggen. Can warmly recommend if someone travels to Svalbard!
Svalbard reindeer, an endemic reindeer species of Svalbard, adapted to the harsh conditions. You could see reindeer right in the town and they werenât afraid of people!

Special Norway stamps with Svalbard motifs
Some of us participated in different activities, such as dog sledding with a cart, besides the meeting
Mail boxes outside the post office. We surely did fill the box for mail for the mainland Norway and abroad!
