    I'd need a lot more information before I chose to jump on your bandwagon. :cool:

    I won't go to America while the orange idiot is in the white house.


    For people asking "why?" to the OP, it is to do with children being separated from their parents (illegal immigrants) for no real reason. See BBC link

    Maybe the OP could enlighten us about his reasons why he feels we should avoid holidaying the US...
  • I have to admit the biggest pita when visiting the US is standing in a queue waiting to go through immigration- on a recent visit we waited over an hour.

    When we finally got to the desk, the guy was quite dismissive as we were staying a few days - I'm sure his comments wouldn't have gone down well with the tourist department

    Went in November, no rush to go back so I am sure that when I do there will be a lesbian Native American in the WH so I'll be good.

    Currently typing this in Turkey, a few political problems here haven't stopped me- and the weather is crap!

    If you can get through Dublin, they do all that before you board and when you land you are treated like a domestic passenger.

    Wonderful really!

    I think I'd be too worried about missing the connection to do that

    Mind you the time we landed, even us residents were kept waiting nearly an hour
