    Hi guys,

    I've just booked my hostel, I went for this one:

    http://www.hostelworld.com/availability.php/The-Full-Moon-Backpackers/Bristol/40772

    there's £1.80 cashback through quidco. I've never stayed there but the reviews are good and it's only 4 minutes (900 yards) away from Iguanas.

    So, has anyone else changed from maybe to yes or vice versa? I'll pm everyone my mobile before hand so we can find each other and stuff.

    I think that time/distance is a little ambitious - it is a 20+ minute walk from hostel to milennium square. But there are buses, stop almst outside hostel.
    Mama read so much about the dangers of drinking alcohol and eating chocolate that she immediately gave up reading.

    Cheers Gizmo, I was basing it on google maps directions, I really should have known better from experience lol.

    Just realised I forgot to set it to walking, oops. And I think I put the address in wrong. Oh well, I'm sure I'll get there somehow!
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Do you want me to meet you from the station? Do you know what time you'll be in?

    Ok, I've only just realised that the meet is this weekend!

    So, we're meeting at Iguana's Millennium Square at about 2.00 ish.

    Can I just say that if people don't want to/can't drink then that's fine too!

    I'll pm everyone on the 'yes' list my mobile number. I'll be away from Friday, so if someone could keep this bumped from then till Saturday night.

    Yay, getting closer now, can't wait to put faces to names!
