Season 4 Travel tips. [SPAIN]

[lukybugur]

This is a bit rash for me, but I"m looking into this too (as a Christmas pressie to me!) At £40 return flights from Prestwick to Girona (2.5hrs), this could be less travel and cheaper than a UK APAT weekend for us. Flight in on Friday night 20:50 land, return 10:30am Monday.

Gonna go look at Paulie"s recommendations for accommodation ...

Yes Neil!!!! Phil definitely likes this

p.s. Paulie.. on your list Matt (The Stockton Rock) and Wigmo are the same person. I"m trying my very best to twist my mate Gary Palmers arm (it is his 40th the week after.. he has to come.. doesnt he?!) to come so its definitely 3 of us (me, Matt and Stu) coming plus hopefully one more.. we"re all due in at 13:30

[lukybugur]

Right, that"s Derek Liddle and I booked up!

As above;

Prestwick to Girona
Friday night 20:50 land, leave 10:30am Monday

The "£20+ (return) range" for a shuttle van sounds good but may consider a private car if anyone else will join us. 35km away, so £40 total each way maybe ... ?

Twin Room with sea view at Excelsior to add to above.

Can"t get logged onto the Betfair software - down for maintenance until 1pm. Can I assume that the event is still available in the lobby for registration?

[gjp100]

Well Phil"s finally twisted my arm - it"s practically dislocated now!  

Anyway, you can add Gary Palmer to the confirmed list Paulie - all flights and hotel booked the same as Phil & co.  Will register on Betfair later today. 

Bring it on!

Right, now I"m back from Oz I need to sort this out.  Will be booking and buying in tonight hopefully.

Wii nice one Don

It"s getting even bigger JayCbee (Jason) and his missus are sorting this tomorrow

[duke3016]

Oh and the shuttle for the famous five (me,Ger,Jack,Petch,Tighty) is sorted and voucher printed off.....

[Paulie_D]

Nooooo!

We"re getting close to the 35 mark where I put the over/under with Leigh.

I may have erred by taking the under.  

Of course, he guesstimated 50...but I suppose I"ll have to buy him a Leche De Pantera.

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip It

How many more flights/hotels/buyins do I need to pay for to make sure I win this bet ?

Bought in and excelsior booked, just the flight to arrange now.

[technolog]

I"m sensing we could be approaching a tipping point where we"ll suddenly get 100 APATers coming.

You know it makes sense!

This trip is getting better and better... 22 FTW Don  

Can someone confirm that the buyin on Betfair is open until after christmas... I appear to have spent a little too much on my loved ones this christmas*
