Pretty much sorted thanks Olly. Only things left are to book for the trips over the first 4 days. I know there's a car park at the TRE so will drive and park. Unless I decide it's a better idea to have a drinky in Dallas. Anyway countdown is in full swing. 77 days until departure. MCA

Hi Stu, I didn't put a hotel address down and was accepted no problem. Left it blank. MCA

Afternoon all, I'm wondering if anyone can help me with a small query. I'm going on one of the storm chasing tours in May and want to take my canon1200d. A problem I'm having is that if I go on manual and adjust to infinity it does not go fully to infinity, I have to refocus slightly which means I lose clarity for night time shots. In fact it becomes a lottery. I want to know if any members use an m42 bayonet attachment with older pre dslr lens with a modern dslr body . I have a number of old style lenses which I hope will give better focus. Unless of course I'm missing something really simple! Thanks for any help MCA

Stick with airline sites or a travel agent. Something as important as this shouldn't be left to chance. Of course Skyscanner and other such sites are a good tool but use under caution. I'm keeping an eye on airline sites, checking everyday. MCA

Sounds like it's going to be a fun one. Have booked the Best Western on West Airport Freeway Irving for 4 nights. I take it the restaurants and Walmart next door are all decent? My mate Paul (yes ANOTHER Paul) will be there too. I bribed him with the 6th Floor Depository and Six Flags to get out early. Is the West Irving Station on the tre a reasonable walk or better to drive? Going to get a hire car for a couple of days so I can get to AT&T stadium. All the best

Where are my manners. Hello all and look forward to meeting you soon.

I'll be on tour 1 2017. Flying out on the 5th as I want to get some time in around Dallas before the tour starts. Haven't booked flights yet but prices are lower than a few months ago. Going to fly Manchester DFW via Heathrow. £120 less if you do that connection. Madness. Was looking at going via Dublin just to get pre-clearance but decided it's one flight too many. Plus with connection times would mean leaving the 21st rather than the 20th.
