    Ladies - do you epilate?

    I had my legs waxed the day before I went to Orlando last month. I hadn't had it done before, and I was a bit worried, but my need to not have to shave the pins for a while was the deciding factor. It really wasn't that bad, and as it wasn't me doing it it sort of made it easier? Worse...

    Water Parks - Discovery Cove - Non-Swimmers?

    Hiyas :) My mum is such a weak swimmer that I would class her as a non swimmer - after donning and using all the floatation devices at DC, she was fine. The wetsuit jacket thing you get is a pretty good floatation device, but we also added a life jacket, and a float pole, and she was...

    brit restaurant recommendations

    We loved Cafe Tu Tu Tango, really nice atmosphere, nice selection of food, and we wished we hadn't left it til our last night! For the Desserts alone, you have to go to Friendly's, it's not on your list, but we found ourselves there each night for a dessert - they are yummy! Heid xx

    Which Mall??

    At Burdines in the Florida Mall, you can get a card which gives you an extra 11% discount on all the clothes, if you are an international visitor. If that helps your decision at all <g>. We spent heaps in there, as they had a big sale on, and the savings were fantastic. Heid xx

    Dolphins - Discovery Cove or Nassau Blue Lagoon Encounter?

    To be devil's advocate here; What do you know about the facilities at the place in Nassau? There are lots of Dolphin encounter places where the well being and the health of the dolphins can leave a lot to be desired. I did a dolphin encounter in Mexico in 2001, and far from it being a...

    Jet lagged and back from first trip

    Great report :) I have to agree that I found MK just a bit too busy and overbearing, and preferrred to get my enjoyment from seeing the kids reactions. Both my mum and I (ours was a girly trip<g>, I am 31, and my mum is far too dignified to allow her age to be repeated on a board<g>)...

    Excess Baggage?

    We just got back on Saturday, and we would have been in deep trouble if the flight had been full I think. We took one half full suitcase each, and had another one each that we stuck bath stuff and shoes in that we could use to fill with goodies for the inbound flight, and we still had to buy...

    Just back! Any Questions??

    Sandie, The TV's were fine, there is a big old area in the Sunshine First Area, so you have no problems having a walk about. We had 2 loos to ourselves, and between 5 of us that wasn't bad! I would certainly travel Sunshine 1st again, ait is definitely worth the money. Stebo, just...

    Newbie-ish trip Report

    Hiyas Vernon :) Just asked mum about the goggles, and she said they had loads of different prescription strength - my mum didn't know her exact prescription, but she tried on a few until she found the right one for her, so i am assuming they have a wide range. She didn't do the dolphin...

    Just back! Any Questions??

    Allie, Oh god that wait was terrible wasn't it? Apparently I fell back to sleep about 20 odd minutes into it and my mum jolted me awake and told me I was snoring<g>. I didn't know about the hoohaa with the wing, it was a very bumpy flight though - but seeing all the fireworks was good. I...

    Just back! Any Questions??

    Looks like I was on the same return flight as you were :) We flew back Sunshine 1st and there was only 5 of us in the cabin, really good service, and the seats were fabulous, would heartily recommend it. One extra plus was the fact that the 40kg rule seemed to have slipped out the back...

    Airtours Premiair Gold

    I haven't done the upgrade on a Florida route, but have upgraded to Premiair Gold for a trip to Acapulco in 2001, and I have to say I was pretty impressed, the seats were comfy, seat back tv's were great, cameras for take off and landing<g>. Foodwise was excellent, the crew were always...
