Thanks Manitas.

Got that half sorted. Flights are now booked. Will like to meet with you and Squeak at Stratford for coach if that's alright?

PM me with times etc

As for guitar, I will buy hard case, but will take a fairly light guitar - I tend to do cheap and cheerful anyway. Allowed 20 kgs no questions, but extend up to a max of 35 KGs if it does go over. Or I could bring the 3/4 size nylon. Will decide at weekend.

Got accomodation sorted just now - I'll be at Adairs!

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

I bet the next few weeks will go on forever now.
