Just allways have been. I dont understand the whole theory behind the plane being up in the air and hate the feeling on take off. Im ok once were up unless theres turbulence or the air hostesses rush around too much lol! But Virgin isnt too bad as there is so much to watch etc so its just getting through the take off really.

I know it will be ifne im just a little anxious at the moment, hopefully on the day the excitement will overrule the nerves of flying, as long as they give me lots of food to keep me occupied I will be fine lol!

12 days eeeeeeeee! Are we all going to have a meeting place at the airport? Also who is thinking of checking in online.

Also, aslo can we have some sory off convo on the friday so I can make sure I have packed everything vital lol or i will panic all the way there that I have forgotten something (even with my 3 lists I have on what to take)!!

They keep 40% or more seats back for thse that dont check in online so if we go to the desk as a group we can get seats as close together as possible! I think theyl want us all i one place so there arent loads of us annoying other passengers.

Well I dont really know terminal 3 but we could all just meet inside.. Whoever gets there first find a place and text everyone where they are? Give everyone till 12.30 to get there then check in?

Il be online telling you what Ive packed, we could have a mass message on facebook?!

Xx

I am so so so so so scared!!!:( I just have that feeling like theres something bound to go wrong. I have like NO idea what to take with me. I'm thinking like, a load of shorts and skirts and strappy tops, couple dresses and a few hoodys if theres a bad day. And a pair of trainers and loads of flip flops. I need to make a trip to Primark I think!! Haha.
I'm sooooo scared about the flights too. I absolutely hate flying. And I have to fly Glasgow to Heathrow first too. I found out the other day that there's only 30mins inbetween the arrival at Heathrow and the check in for the next flight so I'm totally hoping my flight won't be delayed or something!
I'm really frightened about meeting everyone too, I'm gonna be that Scottish girl that no one talks to cause they cant understand her!! :lol:

However..... 12 DAYSSSSS!!

11!

A dont worry! It should only take an hour or so for me to understand you :D
Of course things go wrong but the 12.45 check in is when it opens it wont close until half an hour before we fly so you have like 2 1/2 hours for delays!

If it helps this is what clothing Im taking roughly

20 tops (tshirt/longsleeved/vest/strappy/nice white ones for shabbat)
5 pairs of shorts
1 pair of jeans
2 pairs of joggers
2 skirts
2 pairs of legging
2 hoodies
1 waterproof/windproof light jacket
2 pairs of flip flops
2 pairs of trainers
1 pair of hiking boots
lots of knickers, socks and bras
Bikini
Swimsuit
MAYBE another pair of nice trousers
I think thats it?! Oh maybe like a hat and some bandanas

Yup Abbey thats fine, I will let you know what time I am getting there for as soon as I know. Anyone else feel free to meet outside as well lol I am going to wear my Ca T-shirt for sure! What time will you be heading off from home?

Kayleigh I am dissaponted you ave no dresses on your list!! Maybe you can pack some for me lol I have a serious dress addiction! I had a nice trip to primark too so will have lots of £1/£1.50 tops that I dont mind ruining! Also how many pyjamas are you planning on takeing?

Erin, my mums friends husband is Scottish and we couldnt understand him for about 2 years but I think I've got it down to a fine knack now. Not too sure about the Americans though they are not going to understand a word anyone is saying, when I last went they laughed their heads off when I said we sometimes call 'soda' 'fizzy drink' as they thought it was lame!!!

EEEEeeee Im sooo excited!

xxx

Im scared of primark tops they tend to look a little see through if theyre white! (Im not really a color person unless its my check shirts)

Add to that list
4 shirts ish
a dress (haha)
And since campower arent near any kids cabins i dont have to worry about them waking me up so imma sleepin in my undies like i do here ,i get really hot at night. Leave joggers and tee by my bedside.

You might want a few more tops though! Like I change twice a day sometimes but prob more as im working in the kitchen!

Are we all meeting in terminal 3 then? Im gonna get dropped off out front and then probably leave my phone in the car and buy oneatwalmart i still havent called orange to sort that out! eek. 10 days.

Okay sounds good. I'll probably just take tshirt/shorts pyjamas. Yeah I'm thinking about taking more around 10-12 tops. I'm not a particularly sweaty person but I guess it'd be more sensible. I'm only a housekeeper anyway!
Yeah I'm gonna do the same apparently its so much cheaper to just get an american pay as you go in walmart. What do we tell our phone companies here though? I'm with Tmobile. Idk whether I should just try and completely cancel my contract or what.
