    Anyone know what Virgin Atlantic is like with hold luggage which is slightly over, going from US>UK? Say 23.5/24kg instead of 23kg?

    We're going to push the limits to the limit i think! 2x 10kg carryons and 2x 23kg (and a bit!) cases.

    Some airlines will average the weight between you and your partner.
    Thomas Cook did this with us - her case was a few kilos over mine was well below!

    Seems to be the shops not the hotel itself - put out after 20 minutes even if the videos seem to show large flames.

    No evacuations but more importantly nobody injured.:T

    Must say uber and lyft are working well.
    I was made aware of secretmachines having an issue where he was charged more than the range but got nowhere with it. So I now take a screenshot of the page in case I need it later.

    And I did. Lyft range 5-7 dollars for a trip. Receipt $9.50 logged a review and attached the screenshot. Within an hour got a reply saying $2.50 will be refunded
    The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.

    Did well at Mandalay Bay last night by accident. Tracy was playing 70 cents on a machine and asked me to keep it going while she went to the loo. I didn't touch the machine until she walked back, then I pressed the button. $324 win. I had Press on the max bet button by mistake.

    Good thinking! I did get a $5 refund, but should have been more ;)

    For the trip back to the airport, downloaded Uber onto OH's phone, so we could use another first-timer promo code. Much better this time as the trip was $22, minus $15 promo, so just $7 :)

    Anyone that is using Uber for the first time in the US, the code VDARA will get you $20 off your first ride.

    Could it be your bank blocking it for security? That happened to me the first couple of times I tried buying US Groupons
