I posted previously and received responses from 2 other ladies (Anne and Suzanne) so hopefully you will hear from them also. I am travelling from Kent but am booked into the Premier Inn T4 the night before to ensure I don’t hit any rush hour hold ups in the morning on route to the airport. Anne is also staying there so, if you are looking for a hotel, come and join us? Looking forward to meeting you.

Hi Christine. It’s good to hear from you. I am on this trip but am not doing the add on due lack of spaces. Are you doing both?

Hi Janet. Nice to hear from you, I am not doing the add on either as this is my first solo trip I thought I would keep it simple.

Thanks for the info about the overnight hotel but I have already booked one a short distance away from the airport which looked ok. I'm travelling down from Birmingham and like you say can't risk getting stuck in traffic on the motorway.

Looking forward to meeting you too.

Chris

I too have booked in to a hotel the night before ( Premier Inn Heathrow T4) which I believe is an easy walk from the airport. I'm also going to be traveling from Birmingham (Sutton Coldfield). At the moment I'm intending to get the Airport Coach from Birmingham International as I don't fancy driving.

If either of you are in the same hotel and fancy meeting up the night before let me know.

If not see you at the airport.

Suzanne

I too am on this trip,I'm travelling from Doncaster.that morning so hope the traffic on the motorway is not to bad. Have been on 3 holidays with this firm and have enjoyed every one,really looking forward to seeing this part of the world.

Regards.

Suzanne

Hi Suzanne

I am booked into the Premier Inn at T4 also the night before. I am travelling from Bristol and due to arrive early evening. It would be good to meet up for a drink and something to eat and say Hello.

Anne

It’s good to hear from you. Seems to be taking forever to get here but I have no doubt that the final weeks will then go quickly and I will end up doing my usual last minute dash to get myself sorted.

Chris - Pleased to hear you are booked into a hotel but sorry it’s not the same one as Suzanne and I or we could have all got together in the evening. Glad to hear that you have taken the plunge to book this as your first Solo holiday. You are definitely in safe hands with JY but if you have any concerns and would like to chat beforehand I can ask JY to pass on my details. Otherwise have a safe journey and I will meet you in the airport lounge.

Suzanne - I am also staying in the Premier Inn T4 and will gladly meet up with you in the evening. Not sure what time I will get there at the moment as may need to work the full day first (hoping can get away earlier though). We are not the only ones staying there as heard from Anne previously who is also staying over. Will ask JY to forward my details so we can make contact on arrival.

Jo - I too have done several holidays with JY and Travelsphere but have also not visited this area. Have been focusing on wildlife holidays in recent years (taken with another company) so this will definitely make a change. Am sure it will be an interesting eye-opener. If you get the urge to stay overnight beforehand then come and join Suzanne and I in the Premier Inn T4. If not an option I hope you have a safe journey without any holdups and will meet you in the lounge.

Looking forward to meeting you all

Take care

Janet

Hi Janet look forward to meeting up,my Cambodia visa has arrived so starting to get excited seems such a long time since I bookedthis holiday,really looking forward to Vietnam as my grandson spent 3 maths here last year loved every minute Lovely peoples and beautiful places to see

Suzanne,  I am also from Sutton Coldfield, small world isn't it.

Looking forward to the holiday and meeting up with you all on the 9th.

Chris

Only a couple of weeks to go now so thought this would be a good time to get back in touch with those I have already been in contact with and also to say hello to anyone else on this holiday.

Anne and Suzanne - I have managed to take Thursday as leave so will now be at Premier Inn T4 early evening enabling me to meet with you and have a bite to eat.

Vickie - I would like my email address passed into Anne (anne3) and Suzanne (smgriffin1) please. What is the best way to do this?

If anyone reading this has travelled to Vietnam recently I would be grateful for advice on whether US Dollars will be fine for this trip or whether I need to try and get some Vietnam Dong before I go.

Looking forward to meeting you all

Janet

Please can you answer my question above as to how to get my email address passed to certain others on this forum.

Thanks

Janet

Apologies for the delay. If you let me know the names of the people on the forum you would like to contact, I will email your email address details to them direct.

Many thanks,

Hi Janet

I wasn't sure about which currency to take but have managed to get some Vietnam Dongs as well as some US dollars.  Looking forward to the holiday and see you on the 9th.
