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? Hells yeah. I'm in no rush to get to the hotel. I reckon I'll definitely be owed some food by then as well. I bet the food on the plane will be a total horror story and the only place to eat less than a mile from the lovely La Quinta Inn is a McDonalds... Sounds good to me. |

Is there a reason you're staying in Orlando for the night and not coming with us to Gainesville? I shall research the airport and find what we can eat as I'll be starving. Plane food is shite at the best of times and I have some serious eating problems which doesn't help! Hopefully they'll be somewhere to get pizza at the airport! |

If anyone needs a ride from Orlando to Gainesville on Thursday, 10/30, I get in at around 4pm and I'm picking up a rental car. Just send me a PM or email me I guess

Hopefully they'll be somewhere to get pizza at the airport! I just couldn't find any shuttles or buses that ran later than 7pm and since we're landing at 6ish which seemed a bit of a stretch. I figured I may as well just stop in Orlando for the night and carry on my journey the next day. It won't make much of a difference in the grand scheme of things. The hotel in Orlando was only about £25 for the night. |

The hotel in Orlando was only about £25 for the night. That's not too bad as long as they have a free airport bus otherwise I'm guessing the taxi each way will set you back a bit. You should see if you can cancel it and come with us. I booked my space on the bus today, we get in to Gainesville at just gone 3am apparently. |

At least there's one slap bang in the middle of Gainesville! |

Yeah, I watched a lot of it with great amusement until you sat down to eat the stuff at which point I was in danger of getting put off Taco Bell for good so I stopped watching! The bit where the guy gets stuck with the salad during the draw cracked me up though!

I still gotta put up the full clip of his interview, he had waaaay to much to drink before coming over for it so I just filmed him rambling for 30 minutes. the eating did not go well, his girlfriend was crying closer to the end (she threatened to kill me if I put the footage of her in it) |
