Route 66 - October

[Littlepaul66]

Hi Kirsty

It's my first trip with Just You as well and from what I've been told and read in the community there will be someone to meet you at check in at Heathrow. Also you look out for the Just You labels for fellow travellers.

Yes I agree the music night out in Chicago does sound great and I'm certainly looking forward to it and everything else on the trip too.

Hi Paul

Yes, I would certainly be up for a night out in Chicago, it would be good. I don't know Les all that well, but I expect he would come along. I've been trying to find out what the temperatures will be for October, I usually go over there in September when mornings are freezing but days are hot. I don't know if this applies to October.

Don't worry about the airport bit, just have your label on view and a fellow passenger is bound to start speaking to you, if only to tag on for support!

Best wishes

Hi Lyn & Les (and Paul),

Sounds like there is going to be at least four of us for the night out in Chicago (but think we'll get some more), pan is irish pub for food then blues club (usually gets going 9.30 ish). Feeling it'll end up both nights as we're on hol, somewhere differen of course as there are plenty to chose from.
Ok given the 6 hour time difference we'll be a it tired first night but should be arriving at hotel early enough for a nap befor going out, often do that then stay out a bit until really tired, then have good nights sleep and straight into time zone, works for me.
Looks like the tour manager will get a night off, probably come along with us, lol.

Like yourself i'm a bit of an american regular done around 20 cities and think we'll get a big variation of tempretures along the route (nothing really cold i hope) so will be takingboth warm and cool weather stuff.

Mick.

Hey guys,
If i had seen your posts earlier I probably would have booked on the trip with you guys as I am big music fan and its nice to see some friendly chatty people on here. But I cannot wait for september and I'm sure I will meet some lovely people who will also like to join me in some live music. Thanks for the info on the airport, I think thats the main part im nervous about just the initial meeting people and knowing where to go what to do but I know I will be fine once I get to the airport.

Kirsty,
And we would have loved you to come along in October but don't worry you'll definately meet some great people in september every JY trip I've done it as been a good crowd.
As for the airport with it been a long haul holiday you'll meet the other travellers in the lounge beforhand which is good, along with a couple of free drinks of course.

Hi Kirsty

I don't suppose it matter which date you go on. I'm sure there will be places to catch some live music and I'm sure others will want to go with you. As for us on our trip we are lucky because Mick has been to Chicago quite a few times and knows where is best to go.

Free drinks at the airport sounds great. Free drinks are always great.

Although its still a few months away time will soon start to fly by and before we know it we will be on the plane.

I'm looking forward to reading the posts from the other travellers who have already gone and who ate about to go. This will be a trip of a lifetime and I can't wait.

Hi you two.
I have just come back from the first ROUTE 66 trip and it was GREAT!!!

[Littlepaul66]

Thanks Jayne

I've been reading a testimonial from your trip. Sounds great and I can't wait.

I've since found out that our trip only has 2 places left so it's proving to be a very popular tour.

Any tips for the trip Jayne? What was the best bits?
