I was looking at flights for our USA trip and it turns out that if we leave 3 days earlier we will save over $600. I figured if we would have spent that anyway, we may as well have 3 extra days in the US for the same price.
So all you Twilight fans out there will understand how excited I am when I say that we are flying to Seattle and spending 2 nights in Forks, Washington!!!!! :dance::clap:
I'm so excited it's not even funny...
I'll keep an eye out for Edward Cullen while I'm there ;)
OMG Amy how exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Woohooo! I am so very jealous! Make sure you take heaps of pics! Bring ame a lil piece of it home :) Actually bring him home! lol!
Your going to have a ball hun! I am sooo excited for you! :leap: xxxx
Yay for the rainiest town in the US! Perfect for the Cullens... :rofl: Enjoy your trip :)
Boomba you gave me the idea the other night!!!! I kept thinking - what a shame to go all the way to the US and not even see Forks. Then when I saw the flight prices my mind was made up!! You know I will bring you back a souvenir - you're my best Twilight buddy!!
I haven't consulted DH yet but he's pretty happy to go with the flow for this trip anyway!
So excited I could pee my pants!! :D:D:D
OMG how exciting Amy :) I'm sure you'll have a great time there
Whoa, I'm jealous too - but I'll admit I didn't know it was a real place! :redface:
Did they actually film the movies there? It looked beautiful in the film.
Yep Forks, Port Angeles and La Push are real places! About 2.5 hours drive west from Seattle. We are going to be in San Francisco beforehand and the flights to Seattle from there are really cheap. Google "Forks, Washington" - they have a whole Twilight page!
The movie was mostly filmed in Portland, Oregon and surrounds but parts were filmed in Forks.
I could pee in my pants for you:rofl:! Its so exciting! I may just have to become a contortionist and fit in your suitcase :)
When are you going again?
OMG OMG OMG I am so flipping jealous right now!!!
LOL!!!
Woohooo that sounds freaking awesome, i think I'm with Amber, I could be MY pants for you! :rofl:
Going in September Amber!! So far my itinerary says I'll be in Forks from the 8th-10th - but my dates are always getting shuffled around! I wonder what I can bring back that is uniquely Twilight - there will be so much merch there and I'm not really into that.
I'm going to get a pebble from First Beach (La Push) but not sure what to scrounge for in Forks - any ideas??
You can all make requests and I'll be happy to oblige - AHHHHHHH SO EXCITED!!! :D
that is so awesome! give edward a kiss for us will ya?! LOL!
I was going to say a pebble from La Push :) We collected magnets when we travelled didint take up much room and you can dream of your Holiday everytime you open your fridge!
So they may still be filming then??? oooh how exciting! x
It sounds wonderful...I haven't even read Twilight or seen the movie, but I feel excited for you! I am definitely going to start reading the books...I have to know what the fuss is about!
lol i can just picture Amy coming back with a suitcase full of pebbles :rofl:
Yay for you! :cheer:
But I must confess, all I could think of when I was reading Twilight, was "Get some PORK on ya FORK". Seems kinda apt with all the carnivorous action, don't you think?
Clare - I will give him a kiss for you - in fact, I will give him a kiss for every person on this forum and then I will double that to get enough for myself. Maybe I'll just move there. :p
Amber - Maybe they will be filming!!!!! I didn't even think of that! I think filming starts in March in Vancouver (which really isn't that far from Forks) so maybe they will film a lot more of it there this time (nearly all of it was filmed in Oregon). Imagine meeting Rob Pattinson - I would turn into a lunatic I'm sure of it :redface:
bon - you HAVE to read the books! You will love it I promise - and then you can join all us "Twlight Crazies" swooning over Edward ;)
Nikki - I seriously would you know..... ;)
Marydean - :rofl:
Ok the La Push pebbles will give me a piece of the Jacob part of the story - but what is something uniquely Edward?? I can't exactly catch and kill a mountain lion to hang on my wall....... or could I.... :think:
Amy, how lucky are you! Please give Edward a big pash from me!
Oh.... so jealous!!!!! I am just reading Eclipse now!! What awesome books!! I find it so hard to drag myself away from them, hence my house is a bit of a sight atm!!!! I have a night shift tonight so am taking the last 2 books with me lol!!! Hope it isn't too busy at work!!!
