It'll be my birthday during Camp too...and as far as I can tell, I'm gonna have the night before and the day off to celebrate :) But I don't drink, so it doesn't bother me! :D
It's gonna be my 23rd...Old lady! :(
I'm so excited.
Does anybody know anything about getting the bus up to Portland yet? Us that're flying on 22nd June, I understand we get a $15 transfer to the hotel, and then catch the 7am greyhound bus to Portland, but do we need to book tickets for that or are CA doing that for us?!
Confused.
Also, as fas as I knew, CRB checks need to be within 6months...and mine was done in August...

Hey,

We need to get on the 7am from NYC to Portland, Maine. Camp will reimburse us when we get there; but it's best to book online now to guarantee tickets/ save Modin money.

I'm flying from London on 16th, anyone else?

Sweet, right, I've had a look - are people buying the $42.24 web fare only one? or the $39 advanced fare?
I just packed my bag - to test the weight etc, honest :D, and I got all excited all over again. I have a major exhibition in 3 weeks that I should be concentrating on...oops!!

I agree that we should all meet at the airport, definitely. I don't think we're leaving til around 4pm ish on 22nd are we so that's alright :)

Any luck on the investigation?
ALL of my uni work is handed in, final hand in ever and I'm over the freaking moon. Got a presentation in an hours time to give them i'm off to teach some kids photography at my local youth cafe tonight, so that'll be good preparation for camp! Should be fun but i've prepared nothing for that yet...gotta think of a brief to give them!
Not long to go now guys!! 6 weeks tomorrow!!! :D

Hey Ryan!
A massive night out sounds amaze, but we're not staying in New York, as far as I know the Ramada's in New Jersey which is fairly far away. I could be completely wrong though)
Are you flying from Heathrow? x
