Medical next week......

[mrssmith 0]

My daughter (4) and i have our medicals next Tuesday, Actually starting to feel more real as more things are taking place.

Took my daughter today to have Hep B first injection at our doctors, still had to pay but slightly cheaper than Knightsbridge. Think she will still require influenza at knightsbridge as i couldn't get it done at the Doctors due to them not having any in (they only administer in winter)

So we will be arriving at Euston at 11.11 and have to be at knightsbridge by 12.50 how do i get there? Quickest, cheapest way?

Once at euston get victoria line tube to oxford circus change lines to the central line for Bond st then you map should see you right. if your worried about time get a taxi once your off the tube.

Thank you Red baron, how long roughly would/should it take on the tube?

Do you know how much the tube will cost?

Last time I was there, it was around £6 for a day card, unlimited

It's only two stops from Euston to Oxford Circus and just one stop (and a very short stop at that) from Oxford Circus to Bond Street. I can't imagine it taking more than 15 minutes (allowing for walking up and down the stairs at Oxford Circus) to get to Bond Street and from there it is no more than a 10 minute walk; more like a 5 minute walk. You're going to have plenty of time; maybe even stop for a cup of tea!

thanks everyone, that helps me alot.

Just to get photos done and we will be set to go.

MIL purchased tickets last night as they have seemed to have gone down by $1000 from 2 weeks ago. Leaving fingers crossed 12th May 2009 staying in New york with my Aunty for 10 days then onto Seattle on the 21st May 2009 where ILs will pick us up and go to Portland (was $1000 cheaper to land in Seattle than Portland) It is all so exciting and nerve wrecking at the same time.

Will let you know how the medical goes.

Don't know where your MIL looked but your comment about the fares make me curious as it would seem very strange for there to be that big a difference in the fares. When I looked the cheapest fare from NYC to either SEA or PDX is the same.

Whereabouts in Portland will you be?

We have been searching for months now and have always found continental to be easiest and cheapest. We will be flying out of Birmingham and into Newark. Then Newark into Seattle. Then unbelievably it was $1000 cheaper to book a return flight Newark to Birmingham. Bought as a whole package rather than in seperate parts and worked out at $3500 for 4 of us. Continental flights are all direct so no stop overs which was another bonus.

We will be just outside of Portland in Sandy just past Gresham. Do you know it?

Now it makes sense I thought it very strange it would be that cheaper to go into SeaTac over PDX on a purely domestic flight.

Yes I'm not that far away, quite near to Clackamas Town Centre. Milwaukie joins onto SE Portland
