We scheduled a Skype reunion the other day. I had sent of an excel file with our respective time zones and had blocked off time slots between midnight and 5 am (even if I know of family members that move furniture at 3am).
I thought it would be easier for us to get together since some family members had flown off to be with family or in-laws for the holidays. J was in the home country, Mindy had flown in on New Year's Eve to be with Eldest Sis, both Sunshine and Slash-M were spending Christmas and New Year's with in-laws. That meant we had less countries and time zones to juggle.
Given the countries and the time difference, the most feasible time slot I found was
9 am 04 Jan -- Sydney (me)
6 am 04 Jan -- Manila (Father, Mother, J and Z)
11 pm 03 Jan -- Spain (Sister Deer) and Sweden (Slash-M)
10pm 03 Jan -- London (London Eye and Sunshine)
5pm 03 Jan -- New Jersey (Jersey Girl) and Virginia (Eldest Sis and Mindy).
Most of us were able to log-in and chat. We got to hear Eldest Sis' daughter play the violin. I was fortunate enough to get GI to play the guitar for everyone to hear. It was an impromptu performance on his part. He wasn't looking at a piece or anything. He just played away -- Ouray by Andy McKee.
(Until I am able to get a video of GI playing, people will have to make do with the original artist.)
