    Weird - it seems to imply here that they do complimentary meals on international flights.

    Last sentence before the Pringles. :)
    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?

    Just a heads up for anyone who's used Circuit City for electrical purchases in Vegas...apparently they've gone out of business (looks like they were under Chapter 11 protection).

    Circuit City would like to thank all of the customers who have shopped with us over the past 60 years. Unfortunately, we announced on January 16, 2009, that we are going out of business.

    http://www.circuitcity.com/closed.html

    For anyone travelling in the very near future may be worth seeing if there are any particularly good deals to be had in store:

    "Liquidators will start arriving in our 567 stores across the U.S. over the weekend, and closing sales will start as early as Saturday, January 17. Closing sales will run as long as it takes to sell existing inventory, but are expected to wrap up by the end of March. When the liquidation sales are completed, the stores will be closed."
    They are being bought up by Bestbuy from what I read.
    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.

    Hi guys,

    We are currently planning our trip and want to get out of Vegas at the weekends.

    We are thinking of Huntington Beach with a night stop in Death Valley maybe, and then another weekend trip to Zion National Park for a couple of nights.

    Anyone done any of that and have any recommendations / suggestions?

    Cheers

    No it doesn't Ferf.

    I've just had a look on the NWA site and they are still showing flights to Vegas via Detroit but operated by Delta...It's all very strange to me?????

    Not strange at all-all NW flights are been rebranded with DL flight numbers so it'll still be LON DTT direct .

    Went to Death Valley last August - VERY HOT (124 degrees). The place is awesome, well worth a visit I would say. Have only driven through Zion but must say the scenery is fantastic.

    Also, depending on when you are going, I would recommend a visit to Yosemite, maybe combine it with your trip to Death Valley. I think most would choose Yosemite over Zion. However, if you do choose Zion, you could go another 80 miles or so and visit Bryce Canyon at the same time. For breathtaking views, this is pretty much as good as you'll get (my opinion anyway !).

    Hope this helps.
