Thank you. Some great ideas. Sounds like it's a good job I have lots and lots of planning time.

JoJoSam, Charleston was definitely on the list. I'm sure I'll be drawing on your experience as the planning develops. Laurafergie, sounds lovely. Thank you both very much

This is very early stages as I'm not planning to do this until next year, but I thought I'd draw on the knowledgeable people here to help me put together an itinerary for a road trip in the Carolina's and surrounding area. I plan to take a couple of weeks and fly into and out of Charlotte...

Excellent, thank you so much. I'm supposed to meet the bus opposite parking lot L by Cirque du Soleil. I'm going to Jacksonville to see the Jaguars v Texans game.

Quick questions for you Pop experts. On Sunday I need to get to Downtown Disney by 7.40am to pick up a bus for an excursion I have booked. I'm assuming that's too early for Disney buses to be running there so I'll need to get a cab. Are there likely to be cabs waiting that early or will I need...

On the 7th September 2011 US Navy Lieutenant Bradley Snyder lost his sight to an IED explosion whilst serving in Afghanistan. On the 7th September 2012 Bradley Snyder won the gold medal in the 400m S11 freestyle swimming at the London 2012 Paralympics, his second gold medal of the games. As he...

I have been finding that the requests made at OLCI aren't going through, they just throw up an error message. I would call and add requests to your reservation.

Thank you very much for that :thumbsup2

Can anyone who has been recently (or who is there now) confirm that they still sell cases of water in the food court please? Ta.

I asked about running trails so thanks for asking. I arrive a couple of days before the LM section opens so hopefully I can lap the lake by then. Just measured it up on Map My Run and it looks to be about a mile and a quarter so, with the walking I'll be doing, a couple if times around should...

I go for 9 days, it gives me a full week when you discount travel days. As I go at a quieter time of year that gives me enough time to do what I want to do. I don't really do "down time" when travelling solo.

Yes you can.

No issue with people who didn't like it - different strokes and all that... However, as has been said, the closing ceremony is never about the athletes, apart from the tributes paid to them when they enter and in the speeches, it's a party and the handover to the next city to host the games...

You didn't miss Kate Bush as she wasn't there live, just a recording of "Running up that hill". The Kaiser Chiefs did a cover of "Pinball Wizard" with Ricky riding around the arena on the back of a scooter.

Kayla Harrison was the judoka who beat Gemma Gibbons (from my post above) in the final. Two extraordinary athletes.

You probably didn't get this in your coverage over the pond, but my moment of the games was when British Judoka Gemma Gibbons won her semi-final. Her mother died of leukaemia 8 years ago and she looked up and said "I love you mum". I've seen that moment repeated a few times and it gets me every...

There are two Olympic diving events, 10m platform and 3m springboard. The pool is going to be a public pool after and to be used for other competitions where other heights are contested.

The games leading up to the finals were held at the Basketball Arena on the Olympic Park. The finals were moved to the North Greenwich Arena (The O2) because it has a greater capacity. Oops already answered!

Thank you.

Evening Pop experts - although here it's more night than evening - I have a couple of questions for you. Just over a month out from my first stay at Pop. If I want to call to make a room request do I use the 4000 number listed on the first page of the thread? How far ahead should I call...
