Hello everybody. Really looking forward to meeting everybody. I'm Phil, 62 from Bristol. 5 months will go quickly I hope!!

Hi Phil. I'm travelling from Bristol too. Not sure how yet. Maybe coach or I might get a lift with friends. Really excited about it though!

Hi back Deb. Wow. Two from Bristol!! It'll be good to meet you. Who knows, we may end up travelling on the same coach to Heathrow. That is how I plan to travel. Good thing that it is an evening flight. All day to get there. Sounds fantastic doesn't it

Hi Phil. Let me know when you've booked your coach. It's most likely I will be travelling by coach now so it would be good to have a travelling companion. Heathrow is the bit I'm most nervous about!

Hi Debbee. Yes. That will be great. I don't plan to book a coach just yet .. I will leave it a little nearer to the time. If you want to have a chat or a meet up before all this I am fine this end. I have contacted JY to tell them this. If you contact them they can pass on my email to you (can't do on the forum obviously) If of course you would rather not I completely understand. Phil
