Hi Rob,

I went last year and even though I didn't see any tornados, I loved every minute of it!

The excitement builds from the moment Paul takes over as lead vehicle - the chase is really on then!

Have fun.

I did hear on the Grapevine Gail that we are going to be blessed with an Aussie next year, Great Stuff but make sure you dont drink us all under the table!

It will come around quickly enough and make sure you watch all the streaming this year when it is decent enough, really gives you a great feel for what to expect on the chases, and no worries I am sure the guys will look after you, just ask Tammy, when she came in 2009 she felt like she had 6 Body Guards protecting her (Well Ian anyway who is like a Huuuuge Bouncer)

Hi guys, have just received my final info pack before I head off with Tim also from Bristol next Wednesday. Its all becoming a bit scary but my adrenaline is starting to pump already....I wonder what state i'll be in if a tornado appears!! Maybe Kansas lol. I might look at the forcast before we go, but maybe some suspense will be good :-) Cheers guys for all your posts on here, it's great to know a bit more about what to expect before going out.

I've decided on a hotel for the first night in Denver for those arriving a day early who want to stay in the same place -

Baymont Inn and Suites Denver International Airport

2.5 stars

6805 N. Argonne Street, Denver, CO, 80249 United States

It's got decent reviews, and has an airport shuttle too. Room costs are around £47 a night

So booked ours as we arriving a day early (wedding anniversaryclapping.gif ) So we will see you there.

Given the time of the BA flights into Denver, am I right in assuming the first night will be at the hotel and not trying to get into the chase area, I think the flight lands around 6:30ish with customs and luggage + shuttle that means arrival at the hotel by about 8:30-9:00pm local time
