    Can I come back

    Wow you're up early LOL I didn't know Canada were desperate for health workers more than here! I know some states seem to be in desperation with staff working 12 hours and days off. Maybe it's dependant on what state you want - I don't know. salary in this part of Florida isn't great, not so...

    Can I come back

    Hi John, I wish you and your sister all the luck in the world getting here. They sure don't make it easy. You say you've got relatives in Baltimore? Are they close family? If they are they could sponsor you. All it needs is someone to say they will 'keep' you in the event you don't have a...

    Anyone been to Las Vegas??

    Hi Cath, In October it should be HOT in Vegas, not as hot as the summer but maybe 80 - 90's, it's very dry. Our first stop after getting there was wallmart for lip balm!! You need plenty of body cream with you too. I think if you stay on the strip you wouldn't need a car to get about. You...

    Anyone been to Las Vegas??

    We were in Vegas 2 weeks ago. Most of the hotels on the strip are very nice but HUGE, you need a map to get around!! I think the Mirage and Aladdin were offering the best deals for midweek stays, it always goes up on the weekend. Mirage had midweek for as low as $69 a night. I liked the Venetian...

    Can I come back

    I'm sorry. I did overlook mentioning the hard parts!! It certainly is not easy to come here and stay - unless you don't go back when your visa runs out :eek: I did have a lot of help from a very good friend here. Even at that it wasn't the easiest nor cheapest thing i've done. My friend...

    Digital photo storage?

    Sorry you lost your smartcard pictures in Jessops Bev. Do you know what happened? Did they admit to any liability? I know if you hadn't a backup thats no comfort. One other thing about smartmedia - or compact flash for that matter. They do have write protect like floppy disks. You know...

    Damaged luggage.Letter in the Telegraph

    Believe me the airports are chaotic. I left from West Palm Beach on 5th March going to Las Vegas, at checkin I was told to remove the lock from my case or it would be broken off!! I did remove it but wasn't happy about it. I had put things in the case to save hassle at security!! We walked...

    Digital photo storage?

    I have to agree with Mick, keeping the backup on the smartcard is the safest. CD's are good for backup but they are extremely fragile, some CD's won't read in certain drives so if you change your drive you could lose them. Also one scratch and it's all over, you can't recover them from a...

    Disney Charge/Credit Card (Visa)

    I agree with the problem here. I asked a long time ago about the Disney credit card. Now i'm here and STILL can't get one with From day 1 on it. To be honest it's not a matter Disney can control. They have their name on the card and privilaleges given come through Disney etc. But the card is...

    I think I am obsessed.....

    Is this true confessions LOL I too was addicted to EVILBAY in the neverending quest for beanies. I do stiill go but not with the same obsessions as in the past. It really is a buyers market for collectibles. You can usually find what you want much cheaper than any store. I check the price...

    How do I carry my money and camera???

    Well I have never worn a waist pack here but I always use one in WDW. It's the most convenient way to carry the small things you have to have. I had my camera joined on the waist pack too, the case has a belt loop so that saved carrying it. You'll see a LOT of people in WDW with waist packs on...

    Is there a vacation week in October?

    Hi DinaF You sure heard right. We have a 'midterm' in October, here it's the third week and the schools are closed. I am in Scotland but i'm sure it's the same in England.

    Brits Get Malled

    I must admit I love the Altimonte Mall. I visited both that and the Florida Mall but they had a special Swarovski event on at Altimonte when we were there and being a collector I HAD to go :D I shop anywhere. Belz is the best for bargains though. I got 2 pairs of Reeboks for less than the cost...

    When driving in the US.....

    We only arrived home today and i'm sure we got somewhat lost at least every second day. We did make it from Sanford airport to the hotel without any incident but from there things only got worse!! Not drastic, we always managed to get back on course without going too far astray. It's hard to...
