Yes it is. I took early retirement, so that's how we can manage it.

And we're not jealous at all (much)

P.S. Not had an email from you yet and OH is driving me nuts wanting to see your vid ..... anyone would think he's in a hurry to book the wedding LOL

Well done, thats a fantastic price although I think prices from ireland are cheaper than England because of cheaper taxes or am I talking rubbish?.

Wish they were still that price from London or Norwich:(

As has been said it is spring break and March madness then, so if you see a price you like book it

Yes it's the taxes
Couple of times I've left my luggage at left luggage at Gatwick - flown to Dublin- started from Dublin -picked up my bags when getting to Gatwick again and checked them in. Even paying for Ryanair one way to Dublin it saved a couple of hundred each.

Oh I was hoping to wait a month or so before booking hotel but think I'll have to get on the ball. What's the best websites to look- hotels.com, expedia?

Hi, after some advice. We will be in Las Vegas early April and want to go to both Michael Jackson One and Rock of Ages. In your experience is it worth booking the tickets now or waiting until nearer the time? We're only in LV for three nights as doing SF and Lake Tahoe too, so limited on days to go to the shows.


Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.

I think if you have very set days and also know what you want to see, you should consider booking ahead. That way you will be sure to see the shows you want to see.

You might get deals on https://www.smartervegas.com or travelzoo.

agree with photome about checking the front page - it may be worth booking a back-up direct with the hotel ASAP so you can cancel if you find something better comes along...you will normally only have to pay the first night deposit as well...

It looks like based on the NCAA schedule you may miss most of the March Madness...first round is 18-19th March - and early rounds have more schools still competing so more potential supporters around...that's mid-week but it is also the second biggest spring break week so could be a lot of university-age visitors in town...so if it were us we would definately be booking at least a back-up hotel ASAP while we looked around.
