yep my first time ever gang, I am beyond excited I am vibrating. I am being graciously put up by Raven and her husband, and she is going to play tour guide and she is going to be sick of my excitement even before I get there ahahaha. Sure anyone who wants to greet me at the airport is more than welcome ahahahahahahaha I am planning to leave here May 5th 1 day after my 45th birthday. My gift from me to me.

Oh you are going to have so much fun Minks!!! Which airport are you coming in from??

LOL! Think the Queen will be in?

I will know that next week, I have to hunt around for pricing first before I book. I have the clearance from work and my daughters father (he has to look after Jr. Minks for the 2 weeks) So once I get the flights booked I can let you know.

Well I doubt you will be going to Birmingham airport, and I doubt that you will have time to come up North here, so our paths wont cross I feel, but you are going to have so much fun (let's all hope,) when you get here.



You'll have to get the red carpet treatment on your arrival!!

I will be at Ravens Mercy hehehehehehehe Currently from what I see online, London Heathrow Airport could be my landing point since I can fly direct over the pole from here.

Wow, lucky you Minks!! I'm sure you'll have a great time! Wish I lived closer to London!!

oh dont you worry mate! this yank will be showing her buddy true southern hospitality!:yh_bigsmi even if it is in England! LOL!!

Awww me too, I wish I could visit all you folks from the UK when I come hehehehe.

How far are you from London??

I'm 45 minutes from Gatwick and just over an hour from London (Victoria train station)

How cool would it be to meet up. I'm so excited for you and Raven will have a great time showing you round. It'll be a holiday of a lifetime.

Bez, that would be so GREAT!!

Lets DO IT !!!!:-6 :-6 :-6

forgot to say...My brother lives near Stansted Airport. I often go and stay in the spring/summer

All we need is to find out which airport, and it's a done thing! We're about 35 miles east of london, take c2c to fenchurch then hop over to tower hill and tube it there!

OMG Bez that would be a hoot. Well ok I will look up all options when I go to my travel agent and run everything past you guys before I commit. I am floored at how inexpensive this flight is, it almost cost the same as a trip to Las Vegas and that is 3 hours compared to 8.5 hours insane huh.

Thats exactly what I thought when I bought my first ticket here!

Stupid north americans nothing like promoting travel in your own country nooooooo they would rather see us fly away so that is what I am doing ahahahahahahahah

This is going to be GREAT!! The Tower bridge looks so much better in person! And hearing Big Ben live is incredible!

Possibly

I could probably fly from Newquay to Stanstead cheaper than the train!!

Is this going to be the big meet up for as many gardners as possible.

It would take me about two and a half hours on the plane. could be possible

You'll have a whale of a time Minks, you'll love it.

btw make room for the camera in your suitcase.

OH MY GOSH anyone who wants to meet up someplace with us I am sure Raven can get us there! Wow that would be something huh. Camera ahahaha silly girl, I have my camera sugically attached to me hehehehe, besides it is barely larger than a credit card it fits in my back pocket of my jeans so not worries there.

Well I can try and see if I can join this increasing party. I'm about 2 hours or so away, so who knows, I'll try my best as I don't wanna miss out on all the fun!!
