Online check-in:
Does it ask for passport numbers, start and expiry date, and full name and thats all for online checkin ? or does it ask much more ?
cheers

Froggitt

oh? i thought u didnt need that number at all, just meant when u went through immigration in the US, your passport number is linked to the Esta number ?

Froggitt

Possibly......but I think Virgin need it to show that everyone they take over the pond has a "visa".

Who with? Some Airlines ask for it, others like BA just ask you to confirm how many bags and if you want to select seat. Your other info should already have been entered to satisfy the API requirements

Back home now. Without doubt the best gambling trip we have ever had. After the Royal for $1,000 at Paris and OH winning $400 on Wolf Run the final night saw me at the craps table in Bellagio and the first shooter we had must have shot for close to 40 minutes. Walked away with over $3,000 and because it is a table game no tax documents to fill out. Over to PlanetHo and placed $5 on the fire bet as well as my usual bets. The shooter hit 5 different points so my $5 made me $1,250. She also shot for about 30 minutes so won another $2,000. OH found another loose Wolf Run and cleaned the machine out for over $300 because of her new found bravery, as they say if you want to win big you gotta bet big.
So pleased it happened on our last night because I am sure they would have gotten a lot of it back had we played for more days.
Temp yesterday was 97, hottest day of the year so far but is expecting to drop to 76 by Sunday

Nice hit, so when you booking your next trip with your winnings?

Nice wins Stoneman, keep wanting to get into craps but never spent the time to look into it. The only time we dabbled was in Ellis Island where it was empty and we had the dealer explain the basics, but let my missus throw the dice who has little hand/eye co-ordinationand three times launched the dice across the casino floor. I gave up after that.

What were the min bet for you to win over $3k (if you dont mind me asking)??

Weather seems all over the place this year. When we were there around this time last year it was 105-110 during the day and only dropped down to 100 in the evenings. Its got 3 weeks to sort itself out unti lwe get there!

Great win Stoneman. Lucky it was the final night otherwise it would all have been re-invested in footwear.
