I'll try and book the 6th off work, to come to Alton Towers, but only if you're sure this is going ahead, because with all the driving you've got yourself down to do, you're gonna be f00ked!

Thorpe Park to Chessington is no difference at all, right next to each other, but then you're driving to Oakwood for the next day!!? and then to Alton Towers the day after that!?!?! I'll be impressed if you don't fall asleep in the queue for Rita [;)] not that there will be a queue, it being October in the school term... it is in the school term isn't it? It's not half term or anything? Can someone who still goes to school please check! [lol]

But anyway, haven't met up with Gaz for a long time and I've never ever met Dirk before, so I'll be happy to come along to that, don't know if my missus will be at uni though, travel might me a bit difficult. I'll speak to t'missus tonight and sort something out.

Yes, this trip is going to continue. Even if Gary cancels it because of a random reason. Me and my mom still will come over for some visits to a couple parks.

He's not the only one with a drivers license. Me and even my mom has a license too. So if someone is tired or whatever. We always could switch drivers. [:)]

And from the schools, I have no clue. The site that I usually use for that info, doesn't have the 2009-2010 schoolyear online yet. But last year their holiday was around the end of October so I think we should be fine.

Let's not forget that you're going to meet my awesome hot mom too! (According to Oscar on my 2008 Cali Trip[lol])

Hmmm... I remember something from last year when we tried to do a UK trip with Bas/hyyyper too. That you had some insurance that everyone who is the driver from that car, was insured.
Oh well, so far I know the trip is properly planned so it should be tons of fun. [:)]

you can get short term insurance from your insurance company gaz, I've done it before, you can get a weeks insurance for someone else for your car, it'll cost about ?????????40 I would say, for someone Dirks age who is not used to driving in this country. That's up to you though, if you don't think you need it, don't worry!

and I'll see you on the 6th! [:D]

BTW, I just noticed you had all days with 1 day off. The 3rd you'd still have to work. Remember? [;)] And I'm staying until the 11th. Right [;)] On the 11th to take all time to fly back.

Yup!

Quoting Gary's Writing:
starting sunday the 4th of october the visiting scedule runs like this

3rd - thorpe park

He says Starting the 4th, and starts with 3rd.
In an msn convo with him he also told me that he still had to work on the 3rd. So that should mean Thorpe Park is planned for the 4rd, and the rest of the schedule should shift a day. Right? [;)]

Hope you have a great trip, Dirk. I went way back in Europe in 1996 and hada blast. Only one day at Blackpool? Man I had 3 and could have spent a week there, ok I just love that place. one of my favorite places outside of the US.

Depends how much money i end up having that week, as i am working my last shift at my job tomorrow, and so far have had no luck with finding a new one. lol. SCREWED i think is the word. [lol]
