They had a ball tho! ... :curse:

There's always the next time, when you have PR and have made your fortune.:D

How many of you did this and (a) had a great time (b) wished you hadn't bothered (c) encountered hysterical sobbing at the airport - arriving and/or departing?!

Was hoping to go back for better weather ;) but it seems half the UK is flooded :frown: Also struggling to fit all my woolies in my suitcase - it's only used to having shorts and t-shirts.

Flying with Etihad - anyone familiar with them? Just hoping they aren't the cut price airline with outside loos. :eek:

Weve just booked to go home too in JUne which will be a year since we arrived, not sure what to expect either.

We were going to fly wih Etihad too but decided to go with Singapore again. I did a thread about Etihad Airlines a while ago and I'm just going to try
and find the link for it............

You probably want to clarify that - I presume you mean "executors for will purposes" rather than any other type of executors.

Wouldn't want any misinterpretation! ;)

In the in laws case, yes for the wills. In my mother's case....................I would hate to incriminate myself :lol:
