Hmm. My sister & her husband went to one of these & confirmed all your worst fears! They stuck out for their free holiday but when it was offered it was for a few days hence, totally impractical - the company were just filling up flights! I also used to employ a girl who worked for one of this type of company & she also confirmed that only the gullible are likely to be taken in! If you have the time why not go but I wouldn't waste my time![msneek]
