According to the banner at the top of this page it says they spnosor this forum. Nowhere does it make clear that DU owns and administrates this forum.

Personally, I feel that DU should be much clearer and more honest about their ownership, not sponsorship of these forums.

In Soviet Russia, points give out you! Come on, giving people points retrospectively for posts before a "policy" came in.

No a fan of Bloody Marys, but I could go for a Black Velvet ! :drinking1

How could they let standards slip so low? They will be selling chewing gum next; mark my words.:rotfl:

DLP, if your day sack doesn't already have one you can buy cheap waterproof rucksack covers that are elasticated for a sdnug fit. My last two had these, but you can buy them cheaply at Go Outdoors. My wife has used a trekmates poncho on the last couple of years. Lightweight, folds down small...

The detailing is not as good as Disney, but my DD (11) said she had a far better time than the previous year at WDW.:eek: IMO the rides are waaaay beter, even though they do charge $10 for a beer. We went midweek in October and walked onto every ride, max wait time 2 mins. Other fun things to...

Tink, One thing to watch for in Vegas Hotels, some charge an extra resort fee ontop of your room rate, some charge an outrageous ammount for a room safe, be sure to check the details and small print before you hit the book it now button. Torsie, I will say it, the Emperor Has No Clothes...

BTW, biggest outlet mall I have ever seen is in Ventura, just north of LA. Even had a North Face outlet. Wear comfy shoes this place is huge, when you think it is finished, you are wrong, it just keeps going.

Tink, We did what you are planning last October. The essential guide book is California Road Trip from Moon Handbooks. We flew into and out of LAX, you pay a premium to fly into Vegas, for us it would have been around GBP 100 extra for Vegas over LAX or SF. Vegas we can take of leave, we...

Last time we were there the Lake Buena Vista Outlet mall was better value than the Premium outlets. It is slightly smaller, and slightly further away so check the store directory on both to make sure they have the shops you want to visit.

Check what day Columbus Day falls on, that creates a bump in park attendance over that weekend and has a knock on for the following week. October is no longer as quiet as it was, many US schools follow a balanced school year and many now have a week off in October same as we have. Weather...

Just one word on the RCI deal, when you check with RCI they have lost of resorts in France. When you check about booking through Disney, mysteriously there are none! I guess it is to protect their hotels at Paris. You should check out some of the resale agents, they are substantialy cheaper...

Sam Adams Cherry Wheat beer! Also remember if you are on dining plan then you can use snack credits at the booths. In their past we have saved ours so we can eat our way round the world.

Those Universal lockers are on the small side, when they introduced them I really struggled to fit a moderate size day pack into them. After that for the next trips I switched to a large Lowe Alpine bumbag. I use a Berghaus Packlite as my waterproof and use the external bungee cords to attach it...

If you are in the Sinai then you could theoreticaly bug out via Israel / jordan which are at the top of the Gulf of Aquba. Hurgada side is much more difficult, hundreds of miles to anywhere.:confused3

I have not been to Egypt since the Arab spring, from what I hear the tourist industry is in near total collapse due to lack of custom. Hotels that would normaly run at 80% capacity are around 10% full, dozens upon dozens of Nile cruise boats tied up idle. You will see lots of guards with AK-47s...

No, but it is simple to replace the glass, look on eBay, nthere are kits to do it including the driver if you do not have one. While you have it apart you may as well think about replacing their battery. There were guides how to do it on YouTube, 5 mins max, simples, cost me about GBP 9 iirc.

Really? You went to California and did nothing other than Disney, twice?:happytv:

How long are you there for? It is worth seeing some of the California coast and Yosemite.
