Wow - that was an eventful two weeks! A real pity about all the mix-ups... I would be furious if I had to spend so much time, on our precious holidays, sorting out mistakes made by someone else... it sounds as though you stil manges a pretty good time though:D

Love Suexx

Guest 13 Feb 05 09:39 PM

I reckon I would have been mad at being messsed around in the first instance but for them to take so long to sort it out when I was there would have annoyed me even more. Glad you had a good time.
