Good pleased that a least there will be two of us, see you there

Donna

thanks for the info sue, did you or anyone on your trip go to alcatraz, if so is it better to book morning or afternoon trip.

8 weeks on monday Donna, not that i'm counting lol

Several on my trip went to Acatraz in the morning. I did the bay trip which goes right up underneath the Golden gate and then around the island of Alcatraz quite close in but does not land,

I have now booked trip on 17th may at 1.45pm.

Cant wait !

Penny.

Hi Donna I have just received the list of trips too and I have just booked The Rat Pack and Palm Springs Tours today. Im so excited .. time to get the suitcase out I think!

Need to get ratpack show booked.

Just read Dougie's e mail. I have already booked and received my tickets for the afternoon of 17th May and I don't think that you can change the time once you have booked.

I have booked for the afternoon for the following reasons there is a tour included on our first morning 17th, also after a long flight and travelling the day before I throught that would be the best time to book. Please feel free to book when the time and place would be best for you, it is a trip too good to miss whenever anybody goes.

I have now also booked the Rat Pack Trip and Palm Springs trip the same as Penny - booked today.

Hope to hear from you soon with your ideas.

Donna

Donna, Penny i see someone has advised on another thread that it's better to go to alcatraz in the morning (don't know the reason), i'm happy enough to go in the afternoon as long as i know others are going as well, but do you think we should change our booking to the morning.

Need to get ratpack show booked.

Hi Dougie

I asked Olly and he advised afternoon.

Pennyw

ratpack booked and connecting flight is with BMI, so don't need to worry about BA cabin crew strike 🙂

Hi All

Pleased that all is coming together now, not long 6 weeks on Monday and counting down.

Donna

Hi folks just back from this trip, agree with olly do this trip if u want in the afternoon. I didn't as I did the bay cruise instead which was v enjoyable. Some folks did the trip in the aft and really enjoyed it. The folks I hung around with did the bay cruise, followed by a cable car trip around the city, a walk thro chinatown and a few drinks in little italy, brill! Enjoy!!!

that's just what i want to hear, i like a little wander around taking in things, so glad to hear your just back nad have had a great time, did you do any other extra excursions, i've booked rat pack and tour so far.

got some dollars today from ICE currency, exchange rate was $1.598, you need to print voucher from there website and take it to shop and you get there best rate. Still looks like monopoly money though lol

I know what you mean about it being monopoly money. I have just got my money from Tesco (where I work), got half in currency and half on a travellers credit card, pre paid in USA dollars.

Not long now.

Donna

that's me past the looking forward to going stage and onto the panicking about whether i've got everything stage.

i've only 12 more working days to go, thanks to all the public holidays 😃
