Have a wonderful time Sue!! I hear the weather is amazing at the moment too[msncool][msnwink]

Thank you CarolAnn. Let's hope it lasts for another couple of weeks !! On the down side, my elderly mum is joining us for the first time and she tripped and fell a couple of weeks ago, broke her wrist and now has a cast on up to the elbow[msnsad]. She was very anxious about the long flight before and this has made her even worse !!!!

Sue that is awful, I am sorry. Have you informed the airline of your Mum's problem? They are usually quite helpful, and if you request getting on the plane first so your mum can be seated this may be helpful:)

Susan definitely inform the airline and also check with GP if she will be OK flying, as we all know you can swell up a bit on a long flight so the cast needs to be loose enough to allow for any swelling[msnsmile]

No problem taking a DS on board though[msnsmile2]

Do remember to tell your Nephew that he can not play on it for take off or landing. They generally announce this on the plane but it can be missed by a child who is excited! In case you don't already know, Nintendo games bought in America do work on a British Nintendo. I saved myself a small fortune last month when we were over there. Have a great trip[msnsmile]

I don't think my daughter could get through the flight without her DS. I normally buy her two new games that I don't let her play till we get on board. That normally keeps her quiet for a good few hours. Then its my turn [msnsmile2]. I always buy lots of games in walmart as they are more or less half price. Have a good holiday Susan. [msnsmile2]

my daughter uses her on the plane, theyre so handy as theyre quite small, used to have colouring books, pens reading books, bags full of stuff to entertain her but its much easier when they like nintendo ds's she got new games for her birthday so she enjoyed them, didnt buy any games in florida unfortunately, but shes hoping for a couple for chrimbo, am wondering why i didnt get them there, doh!

Hi Mach2 - confirmed with Virgin that its okay. When she first did I called and they said it was fine for her to fly with a cast on. Before she went back for the cast changing I called again to make sure. Good job I did, because I was then told that she would need a split cast, which she now has.
