[Billy]

I met Tony & Danny at the RDS on Sunday. They're up for the IMM and would probably go out with us on May 12th. Tony may be at the AGM on Sunday.

89 days to the ferry.

[keith]

booked outbound on 12th Rosslare-Cherbourg return is still undecided, my co-driver is pushing towards "le chunnel" and uk land-bridge...
also, anyone have ideas regarding mobile & internet access in france? recently used a £10 GiffGaff sim in UK for a few weeks and found it excellent.

[Billy]

Pembroke to Dover is a long drive. Rosslare to Cherbourg is a long night in the bar and a good snooze afterwards.

TRY NEW SHUTTLE SERVICE FIRENZE BOLOGNA APT!
far to go to catch a plane to Bologna or to return to Florence from Bologna, the only alternatives were train or car. STRESS, POLLUTION, prohibitively expensive! ! Entrusted to the new service exclusive bus APPENNINO SHUTTLE! We will bring you together with your luggage practically inside the airport.





Check out:

One Way Return

WHY 'CHOOSE OUR SERVICE?
Because we are the winning alternative to all the old ways: • Economy • Safety • Comfort • Relaxation • Space for luggage • Frequency • Intermodal • Decrease pollution • Increased traffic CLICK HERE TO KNOW THE AGENCIES TRAVEL AFFILIATES FOR ISSUE OF TICKETS APPENNINO SHUTTLE!






S compare BY TRAIN!

The rail link does not offer a direct line to the airport: you have to get to the station and, with your luggage to go up on the platform waiting for the train. Once they got into the car, after finding space for luggage, we put comfortable waiting to be brought to the station of Bologna. On arrival, you will take your luggage and exit the station at the bus stop to head to the airport after the ticket. Once you get up on it again with your luggage and go to the last time the Bologna Airport. When you arrive, you're finally ready to re-download your bags and head to the check-in. With Apennines Shuttle will be welcomed by the driver to stop, once validated the ticket, take delivery of your luggage and settle them in the compartment. You can sit no longer be disturbed. Once you arrive at the airport in Bologna the driver unload your belongings and you're ready to check in ... Convenient is not it?

The cost of the solution station is € 25.00 + € 6.00 shuttle for a total of € 31.00. Apennines Shuttle costs only € 19.00 ... Cheap is not it?

The time rail journey is longer: 37 minutes by train + 20 minutes to get off the train with our luggage and head to the bus stop and wait for the start + 35 minute trip for a total of 92 minutes. With Apennines Shuttle takes just 80 minutes and with the imminent end of the variant highway pass you put even less ... Convenient, no?

By train it is often difficult (if not impossible) to travel with their suitcases next : we often have to place them in the appropriate spaces unattended at the bottom of the track with the result of the stress of traveling. With Apennines Shuttle you will forget your luggage will be the driver to ricordarveli downloading for you when you are at the airport ... A nice convenience, right?

To take the train to Florence you will have to get to the station or walk with you: this is certainly a further complication for traffic, time lost who accompanies you and the way that you need to walk from the car to the train. With Apennines Shuttle will have the chance to go two stops decentralized accessibilissime Piazzale Montelungo (parking station track 16) and Calenzano Carrefour. Two places where you can park your car easily, or to accompany you to the steps of the bus almost ... Long live the comfort!

"Zak are you on commission from these guys ?"

The information about the train and bus links are from the respective Airports' websites. Or is hiring a mni bus still an option?

According to Google Maps, Kaunos, Lithuania is 3000km from Ballyhooly (and 2 ferries).

Serbia is 100 miles further away.

Better hope the Belgians get their thinking caps on soon.

hello all.have a couple of questions.
i paid for imm tickets and got confirmation by email only and not by letter
is this normal and on entry to came site do you give your name and club name to

Print off the confirmation e-mail and bring it with you.

When you're dealing with thousands of people, e-mail is a lot cheaper!
