From my observations, something like a hardware store would be a booming business....Everything looked well-worn at best. I changed hotels from the Intercontinental to the new Sofitel (old Conrad), which was the difference between night and day.

Thats a huge bonus - I only know a few international one-liners.....................I guess it helps focus you, like having a Messerschmidt up your butt over London in the Battle of Britain.

I saw it.! While crossing the road, I bought an original Ani's Judgement Papyrus of Ani for 200 pounds!

When you see that, go out and come back in. Do it at least five times. Nine times out of ten, it should come down.

Yeah, we went through all that, but I cut it all out. It was a straightforward deal. You perform today, and there will be tomorrow.

That's only one aspect of the cost base (and only a minor part of the value proposition). Our direct labour costs would be on a par with the States', I would say, in any case.

Additionally, keeping in-house capability becomes more strategically important if there are global or regional conflicts.

Yes, always dangerous to rely on unenforceable 'entitlements'.

A bucket and spade would be good advice CM. The IHG in Cairo was not an outstanding property. However, the check-in guy gave me a great room and was extremely efficient. The property itself is run down and in urgent need of a renovation, which I am advised will commence this year.

I ended up negotiating with this bloke who tracked me down inside the terminal - a tout if you like. I kept him honest, and he did the job. $20.

I would like to see a business case before accepting your conclusion. Prima facie, there are a few 380s that fly to Australia, and the consensus is that there is a global shortage of skilled technicians. There would be a queue that would move from the ME and MNL for the right package.

Well, there's an interesting thought Ms Hudson..........

And probably in that order!

Probaby get the cheaper Kiwi cuts......

naturally immune from all the walking dead out there.....

Yes, @RooFlyer , I have seen this advertised, and it looks interesting. Is there a standout tour company I should use for the day and overnight stuff?

What about pre-existing conditions? Has anyone done a comprehensive cruising insurance review? As with any travel insurance, the key issues are medical assistance, evacuation, and repatriation. Are there others? I know somebody who required extensive medical assistance on a cruise. This...

Spruce is OZ. I read that they are the bank booths. $25?

I tried to get my Egypt Visa online, only to learn that it takes at least seven clear days before the date of arrival. Well, I stuffed that up. In BKK, I rock up to the local embassy on Soi 22 Sukhumvit, and find they only do visa transactions on Monday and Thursday between 10-12 (even...
