So instead of hi-jacking Red Shirt's thread even more, I thought I'd make a new one!! So who would like to help me out when I come over? I'd love to meet everyone off here and hang out with you all!!

yay!

Hopefully!!!! *fingers crossed*

You'd better get learning The Clansman just in case!! Hahahahahaha!!

 

[Air Raid Siren]

Well, it's about time, Jenna! Nothing would please me more than to have to learn the Clansman for you - and to actually meet you in person! Although it feels like we are old friends anyway - we just haven't hugged yet!

 

[spideyjg]

Plus I'm trying to save up for a possible LA trip later in the year!!

'bout dang time!

Jim

 

[Metallicat180]

Anyone want to win the lottery for me so I can go now??

Flight alone is about $1000+

Its around about £450 to £800 double that and you get US $ or close to!!!

and its about 15 hours of flying if I remember correctly but they always tend to go Via Chicago.

I requested a change of seat in Chicago so I could see the Pacific Ocean for the first time......worked too and I was like a kid with a new toy lmao

I'm gonna try my best to get a direct flight from Heathrow to LAX. I don't mind changing if it's an airport I know but the only US airport I've been to is Newark. The flight to LA will be a real test for me. I was bored stupid on a 7 hour flight!!!! It'll be worth it tho to see the Maidens play!!

I've flown to China 4 times. Let me tell you about long flights. Try from Shanghai to Sitka, Alaska. Shanghai to Japan, Japan to San Fran. San Fran to Juneau, Juneau to Sitka.


So Jenna your a moderator here, right? How many regular users post?

My guess is 20. $1000 divided by 20 is $50 each. Hmm. If there are 30 people it would be $33. Who wouldn't chip in $30 to get a Scottish Hesher Babe over here? I'll even put in more money if the Iron Maidens promise to play a San Fran or Bay Area gig while your here and you come up with them.

One of my best friend's is Chinese and she goes back and forth to Hong Kong alot so I know all about them from her! But she's one of those lucky buggers who sit down, buckles her seat belt and then passes out for the entire flight!! She's a hoot if you're travelling with her anyway!! I can't sleep on planes at all!!!

What...???? No, no, no, no!!! I really REALLY appreciate that thought but I couldn't accept that!! I'd feel sooooooo guilty about it! Thank you so much for the thought tho!!

 

[Acujer]

Guilty for what?

 

[Metallicat180]

Guilty for what?

Other people paying for me to have a holiday!!!

Just FYI: Paris to Salt Lake non-stop is a 10 hour flight, tho they did fly over uk so not sure how it breaks down but I'm figuring what, you'll be in the air about 11-12 hours

Just FYI: Paris to Salt Lake non-stop is an 11 hour flight, tho they did fly over uk so not sure how it breaks down but I'm figuring what, you'll be in the air about 12-12 1/2 hours

Yeah, I was thinking it would be about that. I just need to have no sleep a couple of days before hand so I could hopefully sleep through the flight!!

 

[Acujer]

Come to San Fran and bring the girls with you. Why don't the Maidens play here?

 

[Acujer]

$35 a person to bring you over. I probably make $35 in the time it takes me to write this post.

I'm willing to pitch in... Also, one of my regular clients is the Sheraton hotel right across Century Blvd from LAX... I could see if we can get you a good room!

Awww, thank you so much but there's no need honestly. I will just save up really hard from now till the time comes.

No worries about a room, Darlene (CRSCHKUM) and Paul (Puckfiend) have so kindly offered to let me stay at theirs. Thank you so much for the offer tho!

In the fall and winter you can score cheap flights, like just under $500 from London to LA. Spring and Summer is double price. I'm always looking for deals so if I see one I'll forward it to you.

That would be much appreciated - thank you!! I had a look tonight and mid-September was coming to about £600.
