The Next Step.

On Wednesday (2 days ago) I received an email from Becky at Yummy Jobs saying Congratulations again on getting a place on the program (I still cannot believe it) and there is now information on my Yummy Jobs profile about next steps, arriving in Orlando, Visa appointment and frequently asked questions. I've read all them they basically answer literally any questions that you have about the program. Plus I can now pay for my Criminal Background Check, which is going to cost me £60 just before Christmas. Good job all of my presents are bought and wrapped plus I finish Uni next week so I should be alright on that. My friend Amy who is going on the same date as me has already paid for her CRB check. Think I am going to wait for next week until I receive all the paperwork for it before I pay for it. The paperwork for the CRB check needs to be filled out and arrived back at the Yummy Jobs office in London by 19th December 2011.

And today I received another email talking about flights (which is very very exciting) like who is the best to book with etc. Quite a few people who are on our little facebook group are making a group booking so they are all flying together and are going to be sat together on the plane. They're flying the day before their start date (5th June 2012) and staying at a hotel across the road from Vista. I was thinking of doing that but I could potentially have a exam on the 4th May which gives me no time before we go, Amy is the same. So we decided to travel on our actual start date which is going to be crazy but that's what it is all about I guess, I'm really looking forward to the busy first day of being there.

One girl has already booked her flight today, shes flying direct with Virgin Atlantic which is costing her £679 which is a lot of money compared to the prices I've been looking at. I've been looking at flight for £560 flying direct with Virgin too, there is just over a month between our start dates I'm guessing that's why hers is a lot dearer. The others that are booking together, their flights are £554 too but theirs isn't a non-stop flight they have to catch a connecting flight in Atlanta. I have emailed STA Travel about a quote for a group booking for Me, Amy and Charlie I am just waiting for a reply. I really want to book mine asap, so we'll see what she comes up with.

Think that's it, I'll update you when I find something out.
