Hi Lou,
Nice, I was little bit worried about the cabin accommodation, but I´m sure will be a nice accommodation!!
I´m happy some hotels have pools, for relax in the final of the day will be great!!!
Edinburgh is very beautiful, I wish go there someday!!!
In USA, I´ve been in San Francisco , Berkeley, Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Orlando and Miami.- 0 people like this

Hi Mari,
It looks really lovely! Sort of like a cabin in the forest and like the cabins you see in the movies!.
Sipping a cocktail beside them – if it’s warm enough!.
I know, I can’t wait, I love the Scottish accents too :)
Oh great! I would of loved to have done Miami! I’ll have to come back.- 0 people like this

Hi Mari,
I’m looking forward to it – everything about it! This trip just keeps getting closer too – 3 weeks today!.
12pm on the 16th is it? Closer to the day we’ll have to arrange a time for dinner if you still want to? Or if you’re not too jet lagged! How long will your flight be?- 0 people like this

Hi Lou,
I´m so excited for this trip!!!! 3 weeks – so closer!!!
Yes, I will arrive 12pm on the 16th, sure we can have dinner, probably you will go back from universal studios 8-9pm, so I will have enough time to take a nap!!!!
My flight should take 10 hours, how about you?- 0 people like this

Hi Mari,
I know – I can’t wait, looking forward to finally getting to the US!.
8-9pm? Really? Will I be there that late? I’m planning on getting there at about 9-10am, that’ll be a long day! Oh well, will see how it goes!.
My flight’s about 14 hours! Not the longest I’ve ever been on though, that was to London and it was about 24 hours with a 2 hour stop over in Hong Kong, this flight will be a breeze compared to that!- 0 people like this

Hi Lou,
Yes, I think so…if you wanna go all atractions!!!
24 hours – Too long!!! For me 10 hours it´s too long, because I never sleep on airplane…- 0 people like this

Hi Mari,
Wow – ok much longer than I’d first thought. I’m not really a ride person though so I’ll see how I go!.
Yeah, I find that the hardest part too, and no offence to children but when there’s a screaming one on the plane when you just want peace and quiet it’s really hard!Stuart – You must leave today? (or is it next Thursday?) If you read this hope you have a great time and will see you in LA! :)

Hi Mari,
Ah ok! Now I understand! I hadn’t thought of doing that – I’ve got some music on mine but I’ll probably only try to use it for skype to when we get to hotels with wifi!.
I know, so much closer now! :)- 0 people like this

Hi Mari,
I’m bringing a neck pillow to make it more comfy – and for the plane too!.
I know, I can’t believe it’s here so soon! When was your last holiday? Mine was at Christmas time and it feels like it’s been much longer than that!- 0 people like this
