I've been back a while from my trip and think it's about time to post info and photos about my trip. It featured me (Glenn) and my friend Richard. We had originally hoped to go July time to see Fantillusion as well as dreams, but due to service requirements I couldn't get leave from work due to minimal manning at RAF Valley (thanks to those wonderful Olympics  :roll:  ) so anyway, I asked my line manager when and if I could get a week of work and he told me I could have a week off starting the 16th. This was all well and good, but he told me this on the 26th of February  :o
A trip was booked the following Friday. 3 nights at Hotel New York, Lakeside rooms weren't even an option so we assumed it was going to be quite busy at the hotel, and that we'd be getting a room with a lovely view of the car park  :lol:

Due to RAF Valley being dead in the middle of a backwards Island, I have appalling internet speeds so you'll have to hang fire on pictures being posted to this thread, but in the mean time I'm going to make my Facebook album public so everyone who has a Facebook account should be able to see them without having me as a friend (you can add me if you want  :P I'm not some big bad army guy, obviously since I like Disneyland  :lol: )

Individual days are to follow! Day one had a massive surprise in it regarding our hotel room!  :mrgreen:

I'll try and post a photo or two to sum up the trip now or at least soon, but I'll have to wait until the weekend when I go home to upload the rest of them to Photobucket.

Here's a link to the album on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set ... 1759ed9e93

 :shock:  :shock: That room, WOW! Thanks for sharing the photos. I did't even know a Facebook album could hold so many photos ;)
"It's like when you go and you see a really great band live for the first time, you know, and nobody's saying it but everybody's thinking it: "We have something to believe in again."
