As we ready for our excursion to UK, Mildenhall, we're exploring adventures we might seek while there. http://www.mildenhall.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123203779 This was an interesting article from an Airman that was stationed at Mildenhall, UK, RAF Mildenhall.
We're anticipating having an adventure to Wales and Conway Castle as well as Trefriw to visit Trefriw Wollen Mills. Also planning a stop over at the Princess Arms Hotel to say hello to Lindsay Gordon, proprieter.
We will be reviewing items that will make our travels easier.
This past week I've had a number of inquiries about Space A travel for our military readership. This is probably one of the biggest bargains for military retired, active duty too. We've traveled to Hawaii using MAC and it's wonderful. No cost travel, just the $9 for your box lunch. It's not for everyone as there is always delays and many times you might be delayed a few days to a week or more waiting for space to return. If you choose to fly Space A and are lucky enough to get a flight out be flexible and know that it isn't a scheduled commercial airline. You're a guest and getting back might be a bit trickier.
When we flew to Hawaii we spent 4 extra days we didn't anticipate, but it was fun. We had seats out on day two but were bumped by the President's Press Corp when we were ready to fly home. Spent another two days waiting for another mission that had room for Space A. I'll post some additional information for those thinking of this. It's a process. You have to register and your eligibility for flying is tied to your registration date. So if you're thinking of flying in next 90 days register now so you'll be up there on the list and have a better chance of getting a seat. For retired folks this is an amazing experience. For those with kids that have to be back in school or someone who has to be back to work on a specific date; not so much. Know you could be delayed and if it's an absolute you have to be back be sure to bring your checkbook and anticipate purchasing a ticket home.
Happy Holidays to all.
