Anyone else out there on this trip? I will be travelling down from Edinburgh and have booked in at Heathrow the night before. If others have done the same, perhaps we could meet up. Tom.

Hi Ray

I got a good deal through Just You who put me onto "Holiday Extras" who booked me into the Park Inn at Heathrow. If you are close it would be good to meet.

Tom.

Hi Ray & Tom,

Pat and I are flying down the night before - from different airports (I'm coming from Glasgow). Any recommendations on Heathrow hotels - I've stayed in the Ibis before - not to be recommended!?

yes coming down night before.still not decided where to stay. was thinking about the yotel pods at the airport as we will probably have to get there 3hrs before take off which means 4.30 am.hilton at airport not too extortionate and you can walk to airport.not sure when I will be arriving heathrow as not got manchester flights yet.

Hi Tom,

I have just booked the Park Inn (with dinner). I hope we can meet up either for a meal or in the bar. We can arrange how to find each other nearer the time.

Cheers,

Ray

Hello All

I shall be joining you on this trip and will also stay overnight somewhere near Heathrow even though I am only travelling down from Oxfordshire. As it's only a short haul flight to Madrid, we may only have to check in 2 hours before? I have been recommended to stay at a nearby Travel Lodge that runs a regular shuttle service to the terminals but I haven't quite decided what to do yet.

Hi Ray

Dinner would have been great, but my flight does not get in until just after eight, so meeting for a drink sounds good.

Tom.

Went to my surgery today to check out jabs etc.She said that we do not need antimalarials.What advice have you been given?

Hi folks, I have just checked out the web-site for our hotel in San Jose, www.granhotelcr.com there is a great little video which gives a taster of what we can expect. Looks good to me.

I am sure we do not need the anti malaria tablets Pat.

See you all soon. Tom.

All the accomodation looks first class, and the itinerary very interesting. I feel a really good trip coming up!

I also don't think the malaria risk at all high.

Probably be wearing a light blue sweater in the bar, Tom.
