    I really don't think there is anything to worry about. Should tickets not arrive by Wednesday, give them a call. There is also a thing called TOD (Ticket on departure) so at a last resort take the invoice to the ticket counter and get tickets. CC

    Prescription Drugs & Customs

    I think the best bit of the Dr's prescription is that should anything unplanned happen the information is available (I carry it in my wallet). All I suffer from is slight asthma but I would rather the medics be aware as soon as possible. I also have an injections booklet showing what...
