The sea is polluted ?
You sure your not in Newquay ?

Has anyone ever posted on here from the actual plane?
I know Singapore airlines have wireless internet onboard, my son was hoping to play counterstrike at 30,000 ft.

Funny you should say that. I was down there a couple of years ago, caught my last wave of the day in on my boogie board, washed up on the shore, got up to find a used sanitary towel on the front of me board, like some bloody mascot. Seriously grim. That said, it's a lot better since they did all the work and moved the sewage out-fall 15 miles out to sea... so now I guess the Welsh get it.

I know that Cathay, who we're flying with this year, do. Read a thing fairly recently about a bloke who used Skype on the plane.

It's the Mallacca straight the main shipping channel

We've just got up and it's 2pm so much for having a stop off to get over the jet lag

In your opinion would it be better to stop off or go direct if you have young children & it's for a 3 week vacation trip ?

Jetlag does take a while to get over. We found it took about a week and my SIL said that when they emigrated to Oz it was a good couple of months before they could say that they weren't tired at odd times during the day.

Hope everything else is okay fraser?

Definitely go for the reak our four yr old is ok, it's just the 21 month old he was sound asleep when we got back to our room at midnight he then woke up and played for at least four hours.

We know mate this will be our third trip to oz in the last thre years, so we thought we'd get it out of our systems on the stopover

We were wondering about doing that as well. We have a 7-yr old with ADHD who kept us awake for 5 days on the trot from 3am and then crashed at about 3pm!! We are keen to just relax on some beach somewhere and let him go mad whilst we kip so that by the time we get to Melbourne, we are fresh as daisies

fraser

He needs to go to bed in about six hours max to get back on an even keel, no chance

fraser

He's still up and it's 10.30 pm we've loaded him up with sugar and let him walk and he hasn't had a nap hopefully when he goes down he'll sleep for most of the night

We stopped off in Langkawi. Would definitely recommend the place for a stopover.

Well Bobby has slept through the night, so we should be back on an even keel.
