Is everyone meeting beforehand or is there somewhere to meet at the terminal?

[Stark]

Lets meet at the terminal......just make sure you get there early enough and to not get bumped to an earlier or later train

liam ,we are staying in the premier inn in folkeston the night before so if you like you could meet us there in the morning than we could head to the terminal together.

What time are you leaving the PI? I will make sure in there in plenty of time.

[Stark]

Well come meet you there too, so that we're all there on the train at the same time

[jonnyfive]

Stark what time do we need to be at the terminal ? I would say 30 mins before that time so we have a chance to introduce our selfs and get there . I would say its no more than 10 mins from PI to the terminal .

[Stark]

Lets meet at the hotel at 6.15......

[Liam-O]

Sounds good to me. Is it just the 3 of us?

[Stark]

Johnny and me are bringing the girls...guess we have a coffee when we get there in Lille....split up and meet for lunch at 1, great restaurant called The Square...

I'm bringing her too, had to bolt Paris on the end to justify it to her haha. All sounds good to me

[Stark]

Anyone else last minute, fancy coming? The weather is meant to be good....

[Liam-O]

I should have my new M bumper on by the weekend. Looking forward to it.

[Stark]

It's a lot of miles for you Liam....200 maybe down to Folkestone.....175 approx to Paris....great trip, and the weather is sunny for the whole day. Lille is only about 60 ish miles from Calais, which will break up your journey too....

[Liam-O]

Yep, quite a distance but I enjoy driving. This missus sleeps and I get the radio to myself. The tunnel and Lille will break it up and I'm considering popping into Belgium just to say I've been.

[Stark]

Lille is a great Christmas town, and a great market there too....the rest on the tunnel is good, for a quick half hour, but as you know, I did a 1000 mile trip in 14 hours and loved the drive.....

I envy you going to Paris, if your Mrs wants to go shopping, park up by Opera and visit Gallerie Lafayette and Printemps.....great department stores, and Printemps has a lovely restaurant in the top of it.....
