R3 Club - Ace Café Day

Looks like I will miss this one again.  The changes to our flights back from the US mean that I can't get up there.  A PITA but that's something to accept. I should be able to get to the Dover Classic Bike day on May 12th though. The Meldrews go there in any case and the local R3 boys will have a meet and greet there.  Two birds with one stone. Update - Easter Sunday Jetlag. After 33 hours awake I was dead to the world until after 11am. So. No Ace Day for me.

FL17 - How much!!!!

Google is a marvellous thing. So after much googling I ended up asking a friend that went a few weeks ago for tips. Her daughter is a travel agent or was, and she gave me some links to check out and then I saw the prices.  A two day Disney ticket came out at £189!! Each. Whilst I liked the idea of a visit to a park, paying that kind of money to stand in lines for hours to get on a ride and then repeat at the next one seems too ridiculous. Another link took me to a site to get entrance tickets to Kennedy.  The official site is $50 each for the day. The link was £29 or about $35 at the current exchange rate. Booked. I saw on Facebook that the Ace Cafe in London had some franchises opening up in Beijing, Barcelona and Orlando , so I guess that might be a drive out one day too. Plus the almost obligatory HD shop! I can't say that I have been a great fan of the Ace in London, but have been there a few times since it re-opened.  It's become a tourist haunt and not particularly...
