@Alex - ta. I think that’s right!

@Oaktavia last year's alcohol free offerings were lovely, so don't ruin a good thing on our behalf

[Crispy Heron]

@EdH - looking forward to meeting you and your family as well as a little legal chat.

@Cole there is a bus from Heathrow to Woking and then a train from Woking to Portsmouth. I’ve travelled this route for every party.

The bus takes about 40 minutes and the train about an hour.

Two years ago, the bus was only running once an hour, which was less frequent than past years. The bus also has a tendency to be late.

[endo]

same, booked at Travellodge, seems we're all staying there, great for late night parties haha

[Oaktavia]

@T4920 thanks homie I appreciate that but either way I'm fecking stoked!

[nytimes_gaiden]

How late did things go last time? I’d like to come but I’ll probably just train back to Brighton Saturday night

[Ralf]

just booked at travelodge, undecided how to get there - motorbike anyone else from Germany, Westfalen, Münster...?

[Matt]

@nytimes_gaiden depends entirely on how long it takes for me to start throwing up. Or how bad the bar brawl with the football hooligans at the Shit Pants Inn is.

[Oaktavia]

Flights booked to Iceland for three nights 17th-19th, then to the UK for 20th & 21st, leaving 22nd. Rooms reserved at the Travel Lodge. We are so excited!

[EdH]

@Alex cheers mate.

@Cole I'm going to fly into Heathrow as well, much more convenient from Munich than Gatwick. The alternative appears to be a bus to Woking and then a train to Portsmouth. No idea how much of a pain this is

I've done it numerous times, it's quite easy and smooth. You can buy tickets in advance.

[Matt]

I’m so excited to see most all of you.

We haven’t booked yet but will probably do so tonight. We want to book the flights first then the hotel. Right now we’re looking at a 13 hour layover in NY but apparently JFK has an awesome hotel inside the airport. Anyone know anything about this?

If Travelodge books up we’ll just crash with my de facto travel buddy @scooter.

The old TWA terminal was converted into a hotel. If thats what your refering to. I think its near the Jet Blue terminal.

[Matt]

Maybe. Katie said it looks really cool. At least cool enough for a layover and still a bargain since the flight is only $800.

@ROman are you coming?!?!

[ROman]

@Matt Unfortunately not. Have another cruise booked which ends 22 Sept in San Francisco, spending 13 days in Alaska. on it.

[Mizmazzle]

Geez I’d love to be able to make this happen. Not looking like I can shake it out though. We’re planning a trip to Vietnam over the summer.
Once the school year starts the Mrs. is deep into her CPA exams and I plan to move to a new school next year. Then this party is a few weeks after the school year starts. Those are my woes regarding missing a hang with y’all.

@scooter am I remembering correctly that flying into Gatwick makes for an easier trip to Gosport?

Yes. @goosehd couldn't have put it any better...

[Clint_D]

Looks like the missus and I might actually be able to sure make it! Any advice on getting from London to Gosport? Looking to spend a day or two in London then make the journey to Gosport.
