Pinky I can imagine that you are nervous, but you shouldn't be. What you are doing is fantastic and proves to show how great a friend you are. I'm sure when you get there things will fit into place and I'm positive that everyone over there will look after you well!

Oh one tip though, make sure you get something decent to eat before the flight, because the food onboard is ...well em.... rubbish.

Best of luck!! :-6

Hi Pinky --

I bet by the end of the day today, you'll have all the answers. A lot can be accomplished in 24 hours.

Keep us posted on the arrangements.

You're a wonderful friend to Criss :-6

Only thing is, they say check in is by 3, or 10, or whatever. I won't be getting there until about half six...add another hour on to get past checkpoint - I don't know if that will affect anything?

Pinkster

If you are 'holding' a room, let them know (is there a 'special instruction' or 'comment' area on their page?) that you won't be arriving until later so that they will hold the room for you.

Just in case.

I understand how you feel.

You'd just like to have all the details 'nailed down' before you cross the ocean.

I'm sure things will happen today to set your mind at ease. :-6

You will be fine, just make sure you give yourself plenty of time before you leave, and it may help just in case to know where your departures desk will be. I'm sure you can always check the airports home page and they will have a map showing you exactly where to go, and any other advice that they may have.

Well, Pinky I'm off to pick up Theia now, so if you're a good girl :rolleyes: and get an early night tonight, I won't get to speak to you again before you go.

Don't worry everything will be fine.

Take care girl! :-4

Do we know what kind of security checks they have after what happened a few weeks ago. I'm guessing things are still pretty tight, especially at Heathrow.

Have you checked what you can and cant take as hand luggage - the GMTV web site did have a list .

I'm guessing that the info here may be of some help.

Don't worry love

She is leaving on Saturday morning at 5 a.m. UK time

HAHAHAHA! So....she's just got pre-flight jitters? I understand.

Pinks...don't exchange too much money! You can usually get a better rate here than there.

That's ok...I was just trying to help. You can use your ATM card, once you're here and get all the cash you need. Have you flown to the States before? What time do you leave/arrive? If you're going over the pole, it's very, VERY cool to watch the dawn/sunset. I hope it works for you, time-wise.

PINKY....I'm going to be in & out of here over the next couple of days, but just wanted to say "take care, have a great time and give Criss lots of love from me and all the guys here with gentle hugs too"

We'll be thinking of you love....:-4
