9 months :D

and we will be in Storm Heaven with the Barron's

I think also just the countdown is going to be exciting..

I miss Ihops :D

and the regular Subs

and the Buds on the side of the road and having a coffee with Reed :lol:

and Josh

Im dreaming of good times ahead

Oh and beating Paul at Pool :lol: :lol:

and showing Ian how to play 10 pin

OK im crap...I admit it :db:

43oZ last time......done in 30 mins...cant be bad

Im in training for 10 pin and the Steak

dogs - stop talking about it - it's still toooo far away and painful knowing I have to get through my birthday, christmas and new year AND easter before the final 3 week countdown commences :cray:

Though thanks for the heads up re: 10 pin and pool, I have 8-9 months worth of practice to get in by the sounds of things :D

Loved the Childress Lightning bit at the end Pat

I thought I'd better get my flights sorted now especially with getting the connecting flight from Newcastle as I'm not sure how fast that 1 would actually fill up.

Does anyone know where's best to go for Travel Insurance and what is the situation with visas as I've not been to America before.

Its good to know I'm on the same flight with a fellow chaser Harry.

Hi Andy

I booked my insurance with "Go walk about" 0845 3450 327 they do a storm chasing cover. Ross came on the tour this year and got his through Dirct on line. Yoy could get quote from both. Also don't forget you need to apply for an on line visa. You will need the address for the motel in Dallas for that. I assume it will be the same as this year. You may need to confirm that with Paul Sherman.

No problem Andy

If there is any information you need or are not sure about, just ask. I do have the address of the motel in Dallas and I am sure that it will be the one that you will be staying at on the first night. The first night is all you need to put on the online visa.

lol, my chances of going next year are slipping away :winky:

Even if i can go next year it will end up being a bad June since June was better than May this year.

My bro is moving to Canada for 2 years, so might have to try some Canadian/U.S storm chasing at some point :D (Hi Gordon if you are reading!)
