London Expo October 2009

Kirsty, tell us what your return-departure times are.

I don't have Luke to troll on the train this time: I fear I may die of boredom if I return alone.

o thanks, =_= I'd be goin home alone ...
(i'll possibly be in Leeds or london..- living)

Though it can be scary since what I do is fall asleep - i'm just scared i'd miss my stop or something... let alone be mugged, threatened or harrassed by unsuspecting people on the bus who just so happen to sit next to you...

XD

Thursday 22 Oct 2009?
I didnt know we were going on a thursday D:

and returning at Monday 26 Oct 2009
From London Kings Cross, 20:33pm
20:33..... ?

o_o

Some are going Thursday, some are going Friday. I'm going Thursday.

Yep, 8:33pm, unless you want to pay an extra £25 to go home earlier.

Its just that 8:33 pm is late and that means we'll get back midnight/ one ish, how the fuck am i supposed to get home at that time ;o;

You'd get home just before midnight.

right-o, train booked, now what about the expo tickets? do we just get them on the day?~

*VERY IMPORTANT*



Don't order them until tomorrow Taya when you've got your results and know where you're going to be. Make sure you use your student rail card xp!

Just brought Viki's tickets and they have come to £28 which is still a good deal, but like Tom said, they are going to rapidly shoot up.



EDIT: Do you want the good news, or the bad news?

Bad News = Saturday at the London City Airport Travelodge is FULL. o_o as in, there are no more rooms.

Good News = There's another Travelodge around that area (3 miles from Excel Centre) which isn't empty and fairly cheap.

GAH!!! I need to book a room!!! I need to book friday and saturday X_X

EDIT: Could you give me the link to the one that's not full please..? thnaks~~ I would msn you but you're not online at the moment

Search Barking Travel Lodge London, I think that's the right one.

damn...
Told you the rooms were probably gone quick this year :c

omg.. i really want to go to this but theres so much to do! id need to buy the tickets and book the room, and i havent a clue what the fuck im doing! >____<'' *PANIIIC* I bet the tickets are mega expensive... and ive just decided to take driving lessons too.... .__.'' But you guys might not go next year!! >__<'''' Waaah! .__.''' >o<''

Can you put up the info for booking the rooms please, Kirsty?

Yep, it's a little complicated but I'll try keep it as simple as posible.

1. Open up this link:
http://www.travelodge.co.uk/search_and_book/saver_search.php?search=&action=search&saverSearchType=rooms19&checkInDate=04%2F09%2F2009&locpostText=e16

(Should come up with a page looking like this:

)

2. Change the date to 22/10/2009

3. Select the day you want in the row 'London Barking'

4. Should come up with a new window, at the very bottom select 'Family Room'

5. Then select, in row saver price, 'Book Now'.

6. The rest is fairly straight foreward, you'll have to repeat this process for each night you want to stay seperately or else they charge you £45 for each night o_o


If you have any problems or questions, ring me.

Rooms at Barking are filling up fast. O_O This expo is going to be HUGE.

Can't we just give you the money like last time?

She can't just do everything xD

Im so confused with the rooms, do we book with other people ro do we all just do that thing there individually? (which, mind you- doesnt make sense to dense ol' me)

Unless you want to book a room for yourself, a family room is a room for a family (group of 3-4 people)

It's not that hard Lee =3 Kirsty has given you a nice clear list of instructions, just follow those and it shouldn't be a problem. Lets put it this way, I managed to book my room last May with out any problems (Well after I figured out the whole book each day seperately thing, that was a little bizarre...)

Don't you need to figure out who is sharing with who first anyway?

Thats what I thought beth, the seperatly makes no sense, and I know 4 people share rooms, but is it just 1 person that books them?
