Same as me, I always leave packing till the end, I will be doing it tomorrow night! Sorting camera cards and batteries tonight then the rest tomorrow.

I won't get there 3 hours early, I didn't last year or the year before and still had plenty of time so I wouldn't worry, especially if you're checking in online.

Anyway hope you all have a safe trip I will be following on Friday, see you all then in Dallas, don't forget to pick me up!

[Supercell]

Ok cool. See you on Friday mate. Can't believe just how quickly this becoming real time now !

U know mate there is a guy who works down our chip shop who swears hes Elvis

[Cookie]

Hope everyone has a safe and fantastic trip!

[John Hanrahan]

Safe journey guys! With 13 of ye on the same flight over it should be good fun! Ian, Tom and I were on the same flight 2 yeas ago and caused the plane to run out of beer! Tom was driving on the other end so I think it was Ian and I that were primarily responsible.

I think I might send an email to BA to tell them to stock up.

Anyway, keep safe all and godspeed!

[Dorsetbred]

Oh, a chasing we will go, a chasing we will go

Yes it was James. Sorry should have given you a heads up, I had put something into the virtual chase thread with the intention of putting it here, but was chatting to tom and there were some mechanical probs with the plane and they had to wait for 2 parts, which was the reason for the delay.

Hi Guys

Well it is 630am and after an horrendous journey yesterday fully into USA Time now if up a tad early but got about 6 hours sleep. Yesterdays flight was a mare with 2 aborted take offs the 2nd quite close as we only had 1 more flight in front of us when the captain said he had buttons flashing at him saying it was unsafe to fly :lol: Think the real reason was they gave us a 747 instead of a 777 and the plane was a bit tired.

Anyhow looking to kit the cars out this morning which are amazing in their own right as we look like an FBI Convoy as one of them has blacked out windows (Will post a Picture soon) and at 1pm we are all going to see Tornado Alley (Sean Caseys Film) at DFW Imax before picking up Mark at around 5pm.

Let the Season Begin!
