I doubt you'll spoil them per se. I suspect what's most likely to happen is they'll think travelling's great, then when they go away with their friends at the end of school or uni spending the money they scrimped & saved doing part-time jobs they'll travel Y and will fully understand. :)

Unprogress!! Left knee is feeling like the right knee did when I had to get surgery to trim some torn cartilage a few years back. There is, however, something else munted with both knees meaning that some time eventually I'm going to need the joints replaced. If the problem, which appeared...

Yeah my most memorable accommodation experiences have been in Oz ... when OS I'm mostly looking for a place to sleep, it's all about the places I'm visiting. But when in Oz, the accommodation is a bigger part of the enjoyment of the trip, otherwise I might as well just stay home!

Thanks for the timing info, looks like SNCF hasn’t released reservations (and probably not concrete timetables) past April at the moment, but good to know I should be looking in March-ish. It also appears 1st is only about 10% more $ than 2nd, probably worthwhile for a 6hr train trip! Much...

Yes Montreux is on the itinerary, but as a day trip (prolly train one way, ferry return, or similar :)). Bit more looking round, DB ICE travel is 20% the price of SNCF TGV travel!!

Progress! We now have a mid June ticket to Zurich and an early/mid July ticket home from London. My wife has some Swiss Francs which are old & can be cashed-in despite being expired but only at a specific bank in Zurich, and hadn’t happened to be going anywhere via Zurich for work prior to...

I’d been early for my evening flight from BRU so had stashed luggage at the airport & run into town to get some fresh choccies (they’re only at their best for a week or maybe two so I left it as late as possible). Obviously very processed, but then, who knows what the fillings are made of -...

Google BTS ... you will fully understand! [actually most of them are actually really good at what they do, and put in a helluva lot of work, and work really hard with fan-engagement, and come across as decent blokes who put a lot back into their industry in their country & for newer...

I might finally have something to put in this thread, in a few weeks ... my wife stayed up 'til 2am obtaining tickets for her favourite band in London & Brussels some time around the middle of the year which I've not been told yet ... so I'll be searching for tickets & accommodation & starting...

Woah ... I wasn't aware there was ANY AFF member who wasn't also Illuminati & hence hadn't gotten the email!!

Still-boss, just ex-owner. I'm assuming I need to include this in my Jul25/Jun26 tax-return form ... if it retains it's appearance of legitness 'til then.

It wouldn't be possible to have a daytime flight from US to Europe would it? Maybe on Concorde or similar, but if my time-difference calcs are correct the 7.5hr (minimum) flight plus the time-difference means you'd have to fly at night for a decent part of it?

Yeah, but that’s because it’s not anything near financially viable … if the Silver Emu happens it’ll be ‘cos it’s a huge costly election stunt.

Got an email allegedly from ex-owner of the company I work for, long-story-short asking for my bank-account details for a bonus transferred from OS. Also not to tell anyone else in the company because only a few are eligible. Which … does anything sound fishier? Sent details of an account which...

Whereas I’d have been asking if there were spares!

You’re pretty intarwebz-savvy for an over-125-year-old!!

Oh, believe me, I intended to book that Deathstar flight … :)

I once booked a CDG to LHR flight for myself & two mates, not noticing that I’d forgotten to adjust the date on that day of our schedule … we’d changed plans, one of said mates was trying to impress one of his sister’s friends so we’d had a 1000km diversion in the rental-car to drop her off at...

Yakuza?!

I suspect the scale of required jolts might bring the grid down …
