The Ultimate Incentive proposed! Time for an ultimate challenge...

The only part of the wedding I'm looking forward to and I'm struggling! Need a travel agent to do the grunt work in sorting out this honeymoon for me, how on earth am I supposed to know which resort I want in the Maldives, or see if there are any details so we can have a few days elsewhere on the way back?! Grrr.

:rotfl::rotfl:He sounds just like my OH.

Im sure he will really appreciate you comparing him to a puppy :rotfl:

He won't mind flower! I call him a puppy all the time! He likens me to a dog too (in a cute way... I think!). He teases me and says if I eat too much people will be saying he's been spoiling me like they would a dog! He tells me to 'Heel' if I lag too far behind him when we're out shopping too! Oh dear, written down that doesn't sound good! LOL!

Poddle - don't take a good lens on safari! The sand in the wind will cause thousands of scratches on the lens and you'll never get properly sharp photos again. Also if its in the heat you'll melt the oil in the lens and it just won't ever be as good. Take the cheap basic one with you, it'll be fine for pics of animals etc at normal print size, just huge blow ups might be a bit less than you'd hope for, and keep the good lens for more agreable conditions.

So wise! Thanks for the advice - I'm just worried that the standard zoom isn't up to much, but yes i definitely don't want to shell out for a decent one and ruin it on its first outing!

Sometimes it's really good to speak to a travel agent - I spent ages researching hotels and safaris on the web, but it was so reassuring to speak to someone who'd actually been to the place we were looking at. Trailfinders were fab, and I guess it's the same with anywhere that offers bespoke packages...

Are trailfinders phone based or in a shop? I'm anti-Thomas Cook after the Egypt experience, want to call Kuoni at some point mind

Have you asked on the travel boards on here/looked it up on TripAdvisor? I don't like speaking to travel agents much I have to admit, I always think they're trying to con me. God help me when I eventually come to buying a house!

:rotfl: Sounds like something my OH would do! Why are we all going out with idiots? :rolleyes:

Dinah93

Lol I'd deck NIM if he told me to 'heel'!

Thanks for the idea Tete, off to the travel boards now
