I'm still kicking myself for missing the last conf. If worse comes to worse I will bring my own food and sleep in my car. If it is God's will that I attened, then I will be there. In fact I am buying a new car (new to me) for the trip.

Sorry if this looks disjointed, posted from Phone.
Dave UK has found a US Airways flight from Gatwick to Bates Field which we now understand is in Mobile, we have booked the flight, arriving 2 days before, and leaving a day after the conference.
Thanks a lot Darren for the willing offer of driving down together from New Orleans? but we will now be landing in Mobile itself. Next hurdle is booking accommodation. See y'all in Mobile AL.

Hi
Our flight won't be direct from London to Mobile as we initially thought.we first fly to Charlotte then connect to another flight to Bates Field .I'm not sure whether Charlotte is closer to Mobile than New Orleans or not.
It will be my first time to USA so I'm really looking forward to it.Pity I cant stay a bit longer.Karen and I have got this fantasy about hiring a car and having a USA road trip, route 66 and the rest. Oh well ! perhaps one day.
Needless to say I'm very excited about being able to attend the conference, as well as being able to meet Ray and many of you on the forum in person.

Dave that is very exciting! Charlotte is considerably farther than New Orleans but it you're getting a connecting flight at least you won't have to drive!! I am looking forward to the conference as well, I just hope I get to go!! Praying that everything works out! It'll be a shame if it doesn't, I'm so close!!! AND meeting everyone will be the best!!

Dave in Tenn:
Just a heads up to our members outside the US. There is really no possibility of flying from Europe/UK or Australasia directly into Mobile, Alabama. Mobile is a small city on the Gulf of Mexico with a regional airport which serves business and vacation travellers within the US. You CAN make connecting flights from many cities in the US. The closest one would be New Orleans. That flight would be less than an hour.
If you are really wanting to drive part of the way, New Orleans is certainly the closest and also an interesting destination in itself.
If you want to fly into Mobile, however, any city in the US Southeast would be a comfortable flight time-wise to/from Mobile. The biggies would be Houston, Dallas/Fort Worth, Memphis, Nashville, Charlotte, Atlanta, and Miami and the rest of Florida. There may be others. There would be so little difference in flight times between these cities (including New Orleans) and Mobile as to make it an insignificant part of the decison-equation. I'd really suggest just considering cost, schedule, and/or the quality of the stopover in making a decision.
Traveller Dave out.
