    Apologies, I promise I will write a report. It’s just that since I returned, the world and his wife seems to want all of my time. Plus the jet lag has really got to me this time. Must be an age...

    Just back from a month’s stay. Will give you an update in the next couple of days. Some interesting changes - some annoying, some good, but on the whole, if you were wondering about should you go or...

    I’ve experienced this to my cost! I’ve also noticed what appears to be a lack of choice. I have three weeks booked over Christmas with a full-size SUV. I’m looking to increase it to four weeks but...

    Sorry Diane, just seen this. We were planning on Orlando for August, as we may have a couple of teenagers coming along, but it’s all looking precarious now. We have to confirm finally with the Villa...

    Good luck with it Diane, I’m sure it should be ok by then. I’ve still got fingers crossed for our August trip - due to fly 31 July. We’ve got the flights and villa booked, the parrot and dogs booked...

    I’ve just booked Virgin flights to Orlando for August. If it turns out we can’t use them, they allow us multiple changes. Now looking for a villa for the month, but not sure if the owners can be as...

    Hi Diane, sorry I’ve just seen your reply.

    I don’t know! It depends on when it reopens. We’re both fed up and want a lengthy break. A month or more in Captiva is probably our preferred option as...

    Remote working

    I guess very many of us have become used to remote working now. It’s not particularly new to me, for many years I have spent my vacations in Florida whilst still checking in with my desk back in the...
  11. US opening to UK visitors, anybody got any new information?

    I know it’s all guesswork and nobody really has any clue what’s likely to happen, but we’re fed up and want to go spend a month or so in Florida. The latest info I can find online dates back to mid...

    I would seriously consider a taxi down after you finish work at 9pm. I’ve done what you are suggesting but from Leeds rather than Manchester and missed my flight because of BA delays out of Leeds. We...

    So sorry Diane. If you had been able to change it to travel a day earlier, before the ban came in, would you have still gone ahead?

    C1D VISA vs ESTA

    Hi. My son is a maritime engineer and has a C1D Visa which allows him USA entry. He will be coming on holiday with us and I’m not sure if we now need to apply for an ESTA as this trip won’t be work...

    The Alamo deal is a good one in that you only pay for the times you use it and it does make things a bit easier. We’re just back having rented with Dollar for two weeks and declined their sunpass...

    We were there yesterday. It’s USD 22 per day now. We have annual passes so don’t need to pay it. It’s almost a 30% increase in four years which is ridiculous. Almost as ridiculous as the increase in...
