Given the steep price I hope they at least keep you updated fairly often.
When I fly depends on how the current testing program goes. I hope it's in about a year.

Virgin Galactic has a website where future astronauts can get together. And there are special events, adventure trips etc. We also have some astronaut training we go through like zero-g flights and riding the centrifuge at the National Space Training Center. I have been centrifuged to 6 gravities, a fantastic ride.
