Lobster hat, fishnet speedo junior, wheelie shoes and an invisible dog leash

ESTA – check.

I normally take money out of a cashpoint over here instead of getting it in advance. Also make sure you have the fraud phone numbers for your bank incase you use your card and it gets blocked.

Where are you going in the US of A?

Check out the weather seasons for your destination to see if you need to bring light weight waterproofs.

Wish I had when I went to Florida, although I went earlier in the summer season so dried out pretty quickly after torrential rain.

A BIG JUST MARRIED BADGE to increase likelyhood of free upgrade on flights.

not turning my phone on as work might try and contact me, becca’s going to have hers on.

no point with the just married badge as got a couple of friends who work for BA (pilot and air waitress) and they’ve checked the flight, tis fully booked with several on stand by.

travelling in jeans and packing my lightweight riding waterproof as it packs down all teenytiny.

oh, oh oh.

If you’re going to a beach, get some major brownie points and get your wife ‘Just Married’ flip flops. It’s her only chance to wear them.

My wife was very jealous of someone on honeymoon our as we could see the words all over the island. (one word embossed on the bottom of each foot – one on the flip, the other word on the flop).

Bike bag with a £10 gumtree Apollo inside, to be dumped and replaced with a nice, shiny, new, “It’s the same bike I brought with me, honest ‘guv”, tax free import Santa Cruz. 😉

Polish your ring , and hers.
Matching super-shiny sparkly wedding rings is the key to lots of little free upgrades without asking.
They’re great people and will look after you special nice when they see you’re newlyweds, they will notice.

i can’t quite get my head around the fact this time tomorrow ii’ll be on a plane going to america, never been that far away before!

for those reading who know where i live… the bikes have been taken to a friends house 😛

Watch out for those security check personnel because some of them may nick your stuff …

Passport.
Cash.
Credit Cards
Sense of humour.

Bummer.

Always worth letting the CSD know it’s a “special” flight once you’re on board though. There’s some lovely fizzy pop up the sharp end of the plane, and they tend to bring some back for that sort of thing! 🙂

Shotgun.

Dammit richpenny beat me to it

philc — hope you have a safe trip and enjoy yourself while you are here!!

Polish your ring , and hers.

you going to san fernando to do some film work?

Are you staying with friends, cos there are some great people over there(like everywhere duuh)– but as you speak the lingo you’ll rub along.The immigration ‘drones’ do lack humour, a mate of mine was refused entry for making a quip. The dodgiest people i ever met in the US all wore uniforms, thieving customs, bent coppers.

Bon voyage

set of earplugs for the plane journey in case of screaming kids or is it just me that gets them

headphones and iPod fully loaded for the flight

not staying with friends, driving all over the place 🙂

no quips at border control from me, never spent this much on a holiday ever so no chance i’m risking it!
