If you are a UK or Irish citizen, you do not have to pay. My wife was in South Carolina in May and she had to fill in an online visa checking form and they give you a green light almost immediately. You should not have to pay anything Liam. Who told you that you had to pay? Are they legitimate?

yeah I have done the online visa checking and had the green light, although my dads mate was in the states a few months ago and said he had to pay £9, so i thought I had been conned although now im thinking he was conned lol!
I used this website: https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/esta/esta.html?_flowExecutionKey=_c9DA16846-E36D-0599-2663-2674D118916F_k24B982E6-C7FC-8271-205C-7E95C3817665
Everything is booked now hotel, flights, medical insurance, baggage insurance and now the stupid Visa, looking forward to it now since ive managed to get all this for £670!

Great Andrew.
I arrive in Denver at 4:37 on the 31st. If you are still waiting for the shuttle we can share a cab into town
Eric, revised flight times. I now arrive into Denver at 16.19 on Flight UA 336 so I might now meet you there and maybe grab a cab or shuttle....
-
Sounds great.
-
shuttle is 27v US$, how much is a cab ride ?
-
I think I read its around $50 - 60 plus a tip (10% gratuity).
-
Tips in USA are 15% for service, 20% for good service and anything above for a services above and beyond (last part is normally reserved for strip clubs)
-
Geez.... I'll have to try and remember that, Pete!
BTW, anyone hanging around Boulder Friday night? I'm not flying out till Saturday night so i might have a look around during Saturday if nothing else is on.
-
I fly out of Denver Saturday at 10:35... oh dear. I will have to get a cab early am. I will be around Friday evening though.

Hey Basecampers,
Whats the weather going to be like during our visit to Boulder? It's winter here in Sunny North Queensland
A balmy 24 degrees C and I haven't seen a jacket for months....
-
Today was 32°c in Boulder, pretty nice compared to the 41°c in Dallas today.
-
16°c in liverpool and I even braved an outdoor pool today! Cant wait for some stateside sun I will pack my factor 50
-
Ok, so no Skivvy or beanie then.
Was there mention of a hike somewhere?
-
yeah google are supposedly sorting one out however I am going for one on the monday/tuesday or saturday day to here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Flatirons_Winter_Sunrise_edit_2.jpg
if anybody else fancies it let me know ill sort something out. im taking my SLR and walking boots anyway"he Flatirons on Green Mountain are within the City of Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks system. They are popular destinations for hikers and rock climbers, with rock grades ranging from easy (5.0) to world-class (5.14)."
5.14 pfft i can manage at least a 5.22!
-
32 centigrade is not bad (I mean not too hot) but how is humidity? As it's the easter side of the Rocky, I would expect it to be rather dry than humid...
BTW Andrew (and Eric), I (and Rich and Mike) will not fly until Sunday so eventually we can have some after-party on Friday...
-
Could be in 90's or there could be a foot of snow on the ground, that is what makes spring and fall so much fun here. Best guess is mid 80's in the day, mid 50's at night, but either of those could be 20 degrees off either way. (all temps Fahrenheit). It won't be humid.

I do not mind cold or (dry) hot but cannot stand humidity with hot -
