Re: Solar eclipse 2024

My wife is in the meadow with the neighbors. She’s really spooked. And, I think it’s still 40 minutes till totality there. Apparently a bit of cloud but mostly clear ..

Re: Solar eclipse 2024

Apparently, the track of the TOTAL eclipse is about 100 miles wide. Looking at the maps, Dallas is in the total eclipse band, but nowhere in the state of Mississippi is. My town, Canton, NY, is right...

Re: Solar eclipse 2024

Well, just remember - it’s a rolling event, fortunately! It will happen at a specific time, all that way along the corridor through the US and Canada. I know that my friend & colleague Aileen...

Re: Gatwick Airport Hotels?

Thanks everyone! I think I’ll either stay at the Hampton or the Sofitel (each about £150) or if I feel like going cheaper, the Premier Inn (about £105)

Re: Gatwick Airport Hotels?

That is an excellent website, thanks! Lots of interesting insights.

Just to show how little I know about Gatwick, (I used to use it all the time, but all pre-1995.) I’m flying JetBlue, and they...

Re: Gatwick Airport Hotels?

LOL! Yeah, I know all that. I did that , or similar, search, and looked at that map. Further, my search on Expedia gave the distance from the terminal of all these hotels. However, neither the...

Gatwick Airport Hotels?

I’m in England, and plan to fly back home, London to Boston, in two or three weeks time. I usually fly from LHR, but intend to fly from Gatwick this time. Flight will be in the morning so I want a...

Re: Car insurance

Re: $100 to LGW
