Hello fellow travellers to Lake Garda on the 10th Sept. I wondered if any of you were going to stop at Gatwick the night before as its an early flight? I am and am happy to meet up for a drink or meal the evening of the 9th.

I am looking forward to it :)

Karen

Hi Karen - At least there are 2 of us going. Ist time for me I am going from Gatwick. Did think about staying over night before, where are you booked in.sandy

I was the 24th person to book this trip so there are plenty of us!

I am booked into the premier inn north terminal on the 9th. So car gets valet parked that night and the hotel is next to the terminal ie walking distance for the morning and breakfast 🙂

let me know what you decide to do and perhaps we can meet up if you are there on the 9th too?

Hi Karen, Yes am staying over on the 9th but (shame) at The Courtyard, south terminal, (had voucher from last visit) transfers every 20 min so be OK. Perhaps we can find a way to meet for a drink / meal anyway. Tickets should be winging their way to us v soon. Exciting :thumbup:

'tickets' arrived today and I have also booked the two optional excursions.

i will be handing my car in for the parking for the week when I arrive, so I wont be able to get to you easily on the 9th, will you still have your car?

am just debating taking all my spending money in cash or to put some on a travel cash card, but am wondering how much access we will have to ATM's apart from the days in Venice and Verona?

Hi Karen,

Yup tickets arrived. Like you parking for the week but it's taken off-site so don't think I will have it. I have booked two extra excursions. Taking about 300 euros and credit card for shopping. That should do it. Sandy :huh:

I was going to suggest that the JY moderators exchange our email address' so we can get in touch before we go and pass on phone numbers if we are likely to be able to meet monday night.....but I guess if we won't be able to there may be point as I will see you bright and early for breakfast the next day in the terminal!

yeh all I need money for is lunch, drinks and snacks (ice cream??) so i was going to take £300 and hope to come back with some! I don't often buy much when away....maybe just a momento or two. i will have cards that i can use as back up.

Sandy

prior to liquid restrictions in hand luggage i might have been ok!

so i am going to make the most of it and I am going to have an outfit per day, plus a couple of things to change into for the evening :)

I have decided to take a currency card as until my new bank account is up and running i cant make free withdrawals on my debit card.

Not long now - Hows your Italian?
