We can use it to discuss the holiday and possible meets the evening before for those staying at Heathrow the night before or at the airport on the day of departure.

I'm staying at the Arora Hotel on Bath Road on the evening of the 13th April, so if any other travellers are reading this, it will be good to have a drink or meal.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Getting close now ooooooh exciting !!!!!

Sure is Lotty, getting very excited here too, but very nervous aswell 😃

I'm booked on this holiday and will be staying at the Marriott Hotel on Ditton Road, Langley on the evening of 13th April. Not sure how far I am from Bath Road (I'll check to see if it's within walking distance) but I chose this hotel because it has a Hoppa bus service that goes exclusively to terminal 5.

Anyway I'll look forward to meeting everyone at Terminal 5 on the 14th.

Cheers

Hiya Mike,

Good to hear from someone else on here that's going on this holiday.

Looking at the map I think you're a bit far in terms of walking distance, but I've never been the best at distances 😃 which is a shame, it would have been good to meet up the night before.

So if we don't meet up before, I look forward to seeing you on the 14th.

Received final documents today, so the countdown begins :thumbup:

Hiya Lotty,

It's my first time too, so you're not alone in being a first timer!

I was talking to friends in Dallas, they say it's about 80 lately, very humid too! But occasional thunderstorms. I think the rain could be a relief :D

Mark

Shorts and rain mac then lol

Hi Lotty

The US is so casual that I don't think we will need anything really dressy. I basically just wear black tops or shirts with black jeans and boots during the evenings on these trips. I am bringing one skirt in case it is still hot on some nights.

I'm very fair so wear lightweight shirts or long sleeved thin T-Shirt tops during the day so that my arms are covered but most people just wear T-Shirts and Vest tops with sandles or trainers (shorts or jeans).

This will be my third US trip with Just You and nobody dressed up except one night when we went on a paddle steamer in New Orleans on the last trip and one night in Las Vegas on the trip before that. I still wore my black jeans and didn't feel uncomfortable.

Take a cross body bag for everyday as it is easier to have hands free for taking photos (and maybe climbing onto a horse!!). Feeling slightly nervous now!

Let me know if you have any other questions though. I have made a note of a couple of shops where we can buy cowboy boots in Fort Worth on our free day if you are a shopaholic like me.

Hope it cools down a bit as these trips are very busy usually.
