I have some good news to share.

I have a teeny 7lb 15oz grandson. :A

Born yesterday morning after I made an.early morning dash to look after Teeny DGD from Poole to Surrey. :eek:

DD had half hour drive to hospital once I got here and gave birth within hour of getting there so I guess I only just made it. :rotfl:

Mum and baby doing well, no name decided yet though...my suggestions keep getting dismissed :rotfl:

Congratulations to all TS :j:j

Or if you want the ultimate, go for Dave Michael. Sounds like a film/rock star, and also gives you the initials DM

Good afternoon everyone, I am in dire need of help, I have taken on the task of organising a tour of Srilanka next year for a few friends but know nothing about it. Having dismissed (wrongly) package deals, I have spent days trying to find places to go and decent hotels that dont cost the earth.Unfortunately I have now discovered package deals are so much cheaper and the hotels included are far superior.I have already booked the flights so there is no going back on this tour now, but it is a case of the blind leading the blind. So, if anybody has been there, done that etc, please please tell me where we should go that is of interest and any hotels you can recommend. Thanks a million if anyone can make any suggestions.

There's a thread on this over in the overseas travel part of the forum.

Mercury holidays do all inclusive packages but they also do add on tours of around a week - you could talk to them as they might be prepared to do just a tour for you via their local agent ( Sunspot). You could sort out a week or so at a hotel after the tour and then use the local beach boys to organise a coule of day trips. Mermaid hotel (Kalutara an hour or so south of Colombo ) is a lovely friendly hotel and the local beach boys are very well organised. Brief Gardens and Richmond Castle are easy half
F day trips via taxi or tuk tuk.
