We'd be happy to offer him a ride; we have plenty of room in the car. I'm on Cooper & Elliot (Gilbert).

I'm impressed, English. Anything for a trip over the pond, eh? :)

Somebody find this man a tailgate spot!

Consider himself an honorary guest at our tailgate. We would be honored to have him.

English, if your accomodations don't work out I know about 50 people in this town who would be honored to have someone stay at their place who was that dedicated to the Cardinals.

I may have room as well at my place, waiting to see if DuckJake needs a spot:)

Anyway I will offer a place to stay and a ride if you happen to need it.

Just an update for you guys.

Mrs E has been won over now about the cost of this trip and I am at them moment on my lunch at work waiting to find out if i can have the holidays i need to do this. should know this afternoon (its only 4 days which isnt the problem, its that there are already folks off and i may need to see if i can them to change there plans - downer is they havent even heard of the NFL let alone my what this means to me and the Cards)

Like i say i should know later today. I have brought my passport and credit card to work so i can apply online for the visa and book flights later if need be.

WildBB - i dropped you a PM last night about the ticket. In case i cant make it will you be able to sell it?

To everybody else who who has offerred me a room for few nights - you are the absolute salt of the earth, the whole lot of you. I have been checking expedia and there are some great deals on holtels if i book my flight through British Airways thorugh them so it might not be needed (though i dont want to rule it out) To those who have could I have an your full name and address please, as if i do get the ok this afternoon i need to put the full details of where i am staying on that embassy form. (i suppose i dont actaully have to stay there but just so i can fill it in if that makes sense)

fingers crossed and thanks again (you lot have just confirmed what i already knew about you)

Ben

any updates?

i'm trying to get a hold of WildBB (Bill) to make sure he has the ticket. Sure he good to his word just want confirmation. I have PM'd and tried the number he left but i cant get through....anyone know him who could drop him a line?

I have the time off but just want to know it all good before i buy the flight (which have gone up on price...figures!),

re hotel - question about the Ramada Perioa, its 3 miles from UoP stadium ands it a bargain with BA flights... also much would a taxi be from airport to the hotel? just trying to work stuff out is all.

Edit - is there golf course near for the sat morning?

cheers

For the taxi - The airport to UoP stadium is 21.4 miles

Taxi rates at Sky Harbor are: "The first mile is $5.00. Each additional mile is $2.00. Each hour of a traffic delay is $20.00. The minimum fare is $15.00. Each per trip airport surcharge is $1.00."

Looks like it would be between $42 to $47 bucks or so.

Theres also the super shuttle (shared ride) which would be cheaper.

http://www.supershuttle.com

Looks like it would cost $26 bucks with them (you can get a fare quote - UoP is in area code 85305)

How many tickets do you need again? How serious are you? Im asking because I know of some for sale (not me - nor am I affiliated) up in section 411 for 250 each. I think he's selling 2 only, but I can ask if this differs.

I hope he sees it in time.

Yeah, the reason I got him the ticket was to guarantee him a seat for the game so he could make arrangements for the trip over.He wouldn't have gotten the tickets in time otherwise. Anyway the ticket just came about an hour ago, but I sent him confirmation yesterday of the sale. So the problem isn't on this end.

I will we ate the meet up on sat night and want to try and maybe catch the second half of the Suns game friday if i can. Something to do Friday yeah!
