My flight back is way earlier than you though. Looks like I need to get a shuttle at 7 am on the Tuesday! Nice one, yep out of Heathrow, stopping at Detroit. I'll bang some money on my credit card and book my runways shuttle then. Awesome. I take it you don't wanna get the early shuttle back on the Tuesday? If two people book together it works out cheaper apparently but it has to be the exact same time shuttles and my return flight goes at about 2pm which means getting the early morning bus! Sorry dude, if it was maybe a few hours later I would've done but my flight isn't till 8:10pm. I'd be stuck in Orlando for pretty much the whole day before my fight. Gotta soak up the Gainesville sunshine while I can. I don't think it's that massive a saving in any case, we're not missing out too much. |

So when are you gonna book and do you know which Gainesville stop is where as it seems there's 2 of them? Which is best? |

I would guess...and Janeen might have to help me out here again..that the best stop would be the University stop. Looking at the map it's the more central of the 2 stops so it'd make sense for that to be the one to use.
Had a quick look for 'compass bank' but can't find it. |

Just realized I didn't answer your other question....
I'm gonna book in about a week, it takes like 5 days or summin daft for funds to transfer to my credit card which got a bit of a battering with the flights and what not. |

Had a quick look for 'compass bank' but can't find it. Compass Bank is in the retail park in the very south west of the city, near the highway. The Rawlings Hall university stop is definitely the nearest, slightly west and almost halfway between the Holiday Inn and SE13 - Perfect! |

My flight back is way earlier than you though. Looks like I need to get a shuttle at 7 am on the Tuesday! Heeeeey, that's another on the flight! Good work. Those flight prices were a pain. I booked mine at about 3am which was their lowest price and by the next day they had gone up $100 and then they went down again. There isn't much predicting what they'll do. Yeah I've been price watching since about March! Planned on going via NYC for a week but found a deal so good I had to change my plans! You also flying out of Heathrow via Detroit I take it? Sure am. I'm setting off at 3am on National Express to get down from Cambridge. Where are you guys coming from? |

I'm comin from Hull, gettin a lift all the way to Heathrow courtesy of Papa Brown, he's good like that. Matt are you gonna hang fire for an hour or two at Orlando when we land for a sneaky jar with me and Timmy before we get our shuttle? |

Wtf is a sneaky jar? a drink?
I have a feeling you guys are going to be making fun of me and I won't even know it. Yes the Uni site, as Matt said, it the most central and Timmy's hotel is on 13th not terribly far from there. |

Yeah a drink.... sneaky jar, cheeky pint, swift half, drop o the good stuff, sink a few. It's all good. I wouldn't worry, we're all comin from different parts of the U.K, we won't even know if we're taking the piss out of each other.
