I'm thinking of keeping the Nikon 3000 I bought last year so I have the option at least this year, the problem is I need a 2nd lens so I'm looking to buy a 18mm-200mm . Will probably sell the body on ebay when i return to fund the new lens Lol, I still want yours !

I've just bought this 4ttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Nikon-D3100-18-55vr-Kit/dp/B00403MA4M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1296682528&sr=8-1 Couldn't resist the 14 megapixels and HD Movie capability .......

EEEEEEK ! No flights booked , no insurance,no hotels booked.......time to get a wriggle on Pat I was up for a Gun range, although I'm more concerned about our chances for visiting Cow Camp and the Big Texan !

Thanks Ian , best make it 3 or 4 , a couple won't cover it for me see you in Dallas (assuming I don't catch any trains !)

Hi guys, I won't be making the meet up in Cardiff , I left it too late and rooms are silly prices !

89 days to Canada and then Dallas.........woooooohoooooooooooooooo!

LOL I'm steering clear of this ...I don't think my innocent ears could take it Aha ! Fallen in I've been hit on the back on the head by it a few times !

What did I miss.....? OOOh New US States to conquer........I BTW don't do California or Ohio !

LoL so do my work colleagues,..........I'm driving them nuts BTW I won't be joining you guys on the BA flight out ...I'm off to Canada ........will definately need a hair of the dog on the 28th though

The American Airlines sale ends on the 26th Jan. I found the same flights on the AA site as the BA site for £100 less

and Pat .he's a bad influence!

I have some hairy ones left over from last year, especially for you! BTW do you need pillows ? I didn't ditch mine so have a feeling Craig and I will have to mark ours this year. Walmart is King for this kind of stuff otherwise we are bound to see a Best Buy or Radio Shack

focusing on learning to use my camera without the flash.......might make a few people less jumpy..............

lol I hope so ...................the anticipation is killing me and really annoying people who know me!

Patience is a virtue Pat................

ooopps ! looks like I got over excited again..........

Please Sir, choose me, choose me, choose me ..........!

I second that ! Somehow I managed to miss 3 huge T-Storms in 3 different States last year

Yes. I went without one last year and ended up running around Walmart to get a Memory Stick as someone had very kindly offered to let me download my pics (about 4000+) to their laptop ,

Hi Jo, I replied to your FB message but Yes. I'm not sure after last year I should be allowed to get a train into Dallas but happy to go exploring with you . Are you sharing a room already on the Tour ? C

The problem is once you are hooked , you are hooked ! I went last year just to say I'd done it and have ended up booking two tours and being obsessed by anything that has storm in the title!

Hi Richard , try the Continental in Hounslow...slightly dodgy area but it was £45 a night and right on the Piccadilly line so will take you direct to Heathrow. I'll send the link to you on FB Hi Ian , add me as a provisional for Cardiff. I just need to sort a room out .

or you could do something around the Northern lights . with a little snow mobiling thrown in .

a, Desert Lightning/Monsoon Chasing in Arizona in Late July through to September b, Florida Waterspout Chasing in August until Late September, this could also co-incide with Hurricane Landfalls. c, European Thunderstorm Hunting in South of France or Spain, Balearic Islands from September through October. There are other options within Europe also within the Cheap Airfare Radar for instance. Let me know in this thread if there are any interested parties and also if you have other ideas. Regards Paul S Yes,yes & yes, love the idea of doing something later in the year to breakup the long wait between the US tours..................and another holiday I've read about is Stormchasing in Australia (Darwin etc) .....it's supposed to be better than the US

Thanks Paul and the Netweather team . I can't wait to hit the US in 2011 (although I may avoid LHR this time ) Happy Xmas all,:smiliz19:
