UConn men's basketball team will take European trip in August

[NowInStorrs]

Good selling point for potential transfers too. You know, in case the we just won a national championship thing wasn't enough.

Im hearing this summer could eclipse last summers travel nightmare scenarios to Europe. Best of luck!

Will summer airport and airline chaos return in 2023?

To Vienna, 1.5 hour layover. Direct flight back from Vienna. My yearly trek to Czech, starting in Prague, last 3 days in Vienna. Went through Amsterdam on my way back last year - disaster.

Amsterdam is 3rd place in transfer disasters.

I got pulled from the libe, Mason boarded. When I asked why they said because I came from Prague, I said that's where my son came from too. Guess I have that International Terrorist look.

One of my bucket list trips is to hit Munich. Vienna and Prague.

Just don’t ring any doorbells.

Yikes

Prague is a great city, Czech is a beautiful country - have pretty much explored most of it - castles, caves, palaces. Rent a car while there - google maps work wonders. People are wonderful. Will be my first trip to Vienna using DayTrip - driver will pick us up at Prague airport after wedropiff the car, 3 1/2 hours we'll be at our hotel in Vienna. Looking at a boat ride down the Danube for 1 of the days we're there. Staying in the historic city center district.

Hypothetically speaking if one finds themselves in France on a business trip the same time as the team, could they attend any of the games or scrimmages?

 

[gtcam]

Maybe this means both Ajax and Newton will come back. A Euro trip vs who knows. Good exposure for the program

-> The national champion UConn men's basketball team is heading to Europe.

The Huskies will take a tour of Europe in August, practicing and playing against various teams in France and in Spain from Aug. 2-10. This trip is separate from the UConn women's team's European trip, which will run Aug. 14-25 through Croatia, Slovenia and Italy. <-

Better start working on passports now. Huge backlog.

I'm guessing we have the resources to pay the 500$ or whatever it is for our guys to get expedited passports if we need to.

Throw Budapest in there, too. Short train ride from Vienna.

Poland is also on my list - avoiding now because of Ukraine.

 

[MTBingNinja]

Anyone know if fans will be allowed at the games?

Will the games be televised?

We wouldn’t know. After getting us all hanging on your every travail, you never finished your story.

I did. The final 2 chapters end up on the premium board. Boneyard gold members had it.

That’s still 8 weeks… according to the news.

Emergency is an option over expedited. Can get it same day. The services I'm referring to are very expensive and take about 10 days if I recall correctly. You have to pay a private company.

 

[NJHusky]

Poland is also on my list - avoiding now because of Ukraine.

Was there a few months ago. No sign there is a war going on. If u go, krakow is much better than Warsaw. Gdańsk is great in the summer. And if you go to Częstochowa in August there will be pilgrimages going on

You're just hoping somebody has a more miserable experience than you did.

I'm firmly in the camp that likes to go to Europe in the fall

Sharing (misery) is caring. I will be testing this theory out myself in August. With a 9 month old on my hip.

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more.

Fall never an option for me, wife a teacher.
