    Booked my flights ( 5 adults) with T Cook, end april. Took the increased luggage option and meals, it came to £532. I did consider premium seats, but they have have now increased their standards seat pitch to 33", so premium doesn't offer a great deal more, for an extra £108. When it was totalled, I asked if they did NHS discounts ( I do have an NHS card, but wasn't asked to produce it). They gave me 5%. So I saved £135. No bad eh?
    Only 36 weeks, 5 &1/2 days to go!!!!!!!

    Where is willow beach? I have never heard of that.

    Just wanted to question you on your 40 mins to Laughlin...how fast do you drive? I got a speeding ticket last time I went, but it is 90 miles. Do you really think it is the hottest place in USA:confused:

    Have to agree about LA....way to big and there are lots of neighbourhoods to be wary of.

    Thanks for sharing your pics

    Willow beach can be found here: Willow Beach Rd
    Dolan Springs, AZ 86441
    They hire boats for $60 for 3 hours. A truly amazing place.

    Laughlin is the hottest city in the USA, its not what i think its fact. I was wrong about 40 mins, just checked and its about an hour and half. Still an amazing retreat where hotels the same standard as some of the bigger Las Vegas hotels can be found for a tiny fraction of the price of LV.

    Erm. Source? I don't think it is no matter how you define 'hottest'.

    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?

    I hve used Crown Currency Exchange for forward purchase 3 times with no problems and got an excellent rate.

    We got $2/£1 when we ordered for delivery in October, but by the time we went in November we were getting $2.11 with the Nationwide card so I just kept the TC's for the next trip and withdrew cash at the ATM's.

    Right, Ive just fixed my $ at 1.84, seems as its still going down this morning and I would be really gutted it it went to $1.75 or lower. So now is the time for you all to stop worrying as its now going to rise back up to $2. So anyone thinking of fixing, DONT! :D


    I just can't believe its being virtually $2 for the past 2 years nearly until 8 weeks before we are due to go. I'm just glad I got the flights, hotel deposits and shows paid for at $2.

    Overall Ive lost around £80 spending money. If its not fuel, its electric and if its not that its mortgage interest.

    Damn bank of England inflation predictions. Grrrrr
