    If they throw their 'baby' at you, do you catch or let 'it' drop?

    If you travel earlier in the month you can get it down to 870 Euro. I said it wasn't cheap, great hotel though, we had the room with the balcony overlooking the Pantheon:D

    I'd prefer a double-room + balcony at the Mutmee in Nong Khai, overlooking the mighty Meekong for a tenner a night. Or for the tidy sum of about £40, a room + balcony in a boutique hotel overlooking the Chao Phraya.

    If I paid silly money for a hotel room, then I wouldn't want to leave it! Fortunately I don't have that worry:D.

    Each to their own, :D or is that not allowed either? (and we have done both types of travel and ejoy them both in different ways)

    No, go ahead, if you can afford the luxury, and think it's necessary.

    Luxury is not, by definition, a necessity, it is something you either want to experience, or don't, if you can afford to do so.
  • Rome is a city best walked.

    I did it in May i think with my then 2 year old. One of the best days of my life.
