Hi Bev

Sorry for delay in replying. i'm now booked to stay at Gatwick Mercure on 23rd June. Glasgow flight arrives at 20.25, so hopefully should be in hotel by 2100. Would be delighted to meet up with you if you are booked into same hotel, if not, then at the airport before departure.

Hi Ann

Checked out your hotel, it seems very reasonable, have you stayed there before or did Holiday Extras give you info.

Hi Bev

I booked it through Holiday Extras and know people from a previous holiday who used it. The gentleman at Holiday Extras certainly was happy to recommend it. I am also staying there on return from Tuscany as our flight arrives in Gatwick after the last flight of the day to Glasgow has departed. Maybe there are other passengers on this holiday booked there as well. Look forward to hearing your plans.

Hi Ann

Me again, I have booked the Mercure Hotel and will also be stopping over on the way back, didn't realise how late we got in and didn't fancy arriving back home at one or two in the morning.

Keep in touch

Best Wishes

Hi Bev

Pleased to hear you are booked at Mercure, not booked for breakfast yet, will do so on arrival, but well done for being booked for breakfast..you are organised. I won't arrive at the hotel until nearer 9pm which is a bit a bit late for dinner, but perhaps we could have a drink or coffee.

Hi Bev, my first JY holiday was to Mijas for Treasures of Andalucia in Sept '08 and like yourself was anxious as were many of my fellow travellers. Nothing to be worried about- we mixed well, had a superb Tour Manager, hotel in Mijas was excellent...set into the hillside as you came into the town..it is very Spanish in its architecture and interior furnishings. So if you are travelling on that same holiday, you will have no problems. Look forward to hearing how it goes.

Hi Ann

Yes it is the same tour, just hoping everything gets back to normal following the volcanic ash and that my flights times stay the same. Waiting until Monday to check with JY before booking National Express coach to heathrow.

Will let you know how I got on and great to hear the hotel was good, did read a few mixed reports about the food. Sure I won't starve!!!

Best Wishes

Bev

Hi, I`m still hoping there is somebody else out there travelling to Tuscany from Bristol on 24 June. I`m a 1st timer and would love to meet up with a fellow traveller.

Hi Helen

Thanks for the reassurance. I`m really looking forward to meeting with all going on this trip. I get to Pisa at 10.10. What time do you arrive as according to brochure those travelling from Gatwick don`t leave until 11.40?

Hi Sue

Apologies for not replying sooner, forgot to check with Jet2 re flight times. I land at Pisa at 11:00, so will probably see you at the airport or if not the hotel.
