    All is back to normal for me now .just had a glitch Yesterday for a wee spell.
    One you LogIn and are logged in (Victoria and Des) on the Opening page Right click on your Mouse,on the dropdown list select Create Shortcut,this will put an Icon on your Desktop,so then each time you want to log on just Click that Icon
    Cheers

    NB The above for some reason will not work if using the Edge Browser,so use Internet Explorer to create that Icon first then after that if clicking it ,it opens with the Edge Browser

    My sister flew out for Xmas in NZ and January in Oz flying Korea Air, Business class with stoppover in Seoul for about L4000 and had a good time. Choice of menu on board and kept well hydrated.
    Worth checking less glamorous airlines for a good deal.

    And as i have said in the past that will be the time we will be able to sort out some well earned time off!
    As we still prefer to Travel Singly ,gives one more time to do what each wants without the hassle,that is the way we will go, don't know yet who will go first though LOL
    Roll on !!
    Reading your post mate? At the end of it thought that you had decided to go first a short while back LOL. Oh how we can read things different to what the writer intended. Well I think that is the case
    That's the way the mop flops.

    My thanks to Brian for this site.

    Seems no one has, until now, suggested splitting your trip to down-under 50/50 by air and sea. Would not take so long and your choice of travel may be satisfied. Fly to US west coast or Vancouver then join a ship for the remainder en-route to Oz. The various www sites already suggested for intermediates may give lines crossing the Pacific though I haven't looked at this. Main freighter ports in west coast for Oz and NZ aree San Fran and LA with Vancouver to a lesser extent.
    Just another thought.

    Trevor, just back from the 'Brothel' or what is known as London but believe me it is what I say.

    Flew with Singapore day time flight, not so good.
    Suggest night time flight with premium economy and you will sleep fpr most of the long haul, London to Singapore about 13 hours.
    Oz is then only 7 more from Singapore.

    Brian, travel insurance, get mine along with my credit card for $120 a year and from experience, twice, I know it works.
    Happy daze John in Oz.

    Life is too short to blend in.

    Hi John
    I think, [ could be wrong tho`] that insurance on the credit card, . mine is AMEX, THAT IT ONLY COVERS TRAVEL, NOT AN ILNESS OR ACCIDEN
    only if you paid for the trip on that card,.
    They would not have paid my bill in Honolulu that was for $85,000 US Dollars.So the banks insurance at £750 for two of us, £375 each, world wide for 12 months , both over 80 years old is still a good deal.
    Cheers Brian
