Washington DC 4 nights - staying at The Grand Hyatt

Now to start with my itinerary Excel spreadsheet !!!

Well done you - great feeling when have flights booked isn't it. When are you in DC, we're off here in May too.

We are there from 26th to the 30th. We have been to NY before but first time to DC so excited.

Miss you by 2 days - we fly home on VS22 on 24 May. Enjoy Niagara, it really is awesome!

Aww thank you. We are there a couple of days after my husband's birthday and our wedding anniversary so should be a good visit..

Well done! And I love my excel spreadsheets. OH says holidays aren't holidays without my spreadsheets

I love the spread sheet too.
My favourite line is:
=DATEVALUE("20/2/2015")-TODAY()
Currently shows 88 on mine and only thing not done is book the taxi to the airport.
Have a great trip and enjoy the planning.

Sounds like an amazing trip sgilly74!! What cabin are you travelling in?

I am also glad to see that I am not the only one that does stuff like this:

Congrats on the booking Always an exciting time when you start the countdown

ColOrd - Mrs P says that spreadsheet is above and beyond the call of duty

I love the presidential seal!

(by which I mean not the semi-aquatic marine mammal, but the emblem!)

Fantastic sgilly74!

ColOrd you've inspired me dear boy

We are off to DC too! Flights booked from 16th May and back from Boston on 3rd June, redeemed our 2for1 for first on BA .
Just have to work out what to do in between, better start an excel spreadsheet!!

We're doing a similar trip n March. NYC-Atlantic city-DC.
Spreadsheets and organisation isn't my thing...
Tickets, money, passports! Tickets, money, passports. Said as we leave the house (a-la Ab Fab) is as organised as we get.
Hope you have a nice trip

Said whilst clutching a bottle of Bolly in one hand and a fag in the other I hope Ultreen1?

Sooooo, how many of us have nicked the above formula and added it to our excel sheets...

Really glad that im not the only one who does this, however now I need to find some cool company logo's to make it even better!

Yep!!! Ive also nisked the formula above for my spreadsheet.

We are travelling PE - reward flights (didnt have enough miles for Upper - maybe next time)...

Thanks for all your replies - It feels real once you announce it on here!! haha

We don't smoke but we do drink... champagne being my fav tipple!

So glad I'm not the only one who loves a good holiday spreadsheet.

Darren is partial to a bottle or three of Veuve Cliquot among other things

Mind, I think most of us on here like a tipple of champoo. Stolly Bolly anyone?

I have started creating my spreadsheet.
Flying to Boston on 23rd July & Return via New York on the 7th August

Got tons to do.
Sort out Car Hire
Sort out Esta travel thingy
sort out train tickets
etc

Going to book AirBnB places where I can for an authentic road trip.
Hoping to squeeze in Niagara, possibly Toronto, Lancaster (im fascinated by the Amish!), Philly, possibly Baltimore & then DC.
I have found a nice Man V Food Steak Challenge between Baltimore & Philly.

I need to put less on Facebook!

Now to start with my itinerary Excel spreadsheet !!!

I would love to be able to use Excel well enough to do this myself. But sadly my IT skills are not that efficient. I did manage to create a very basic spreadsheet for my Avios and Virgin FC miles monitoring, but nothing as fancy as the spreadsheet example above!

But I am obsessive with planning though, and use a Word table instead of Excel. Clearly I am lagging behind current trends

Dicky old bean I can't get that formula to work in Excel, it produces an error - could you elaborate a bit please?
