Over 40's Moving Back and Catching Up
Re: Over 40's Moving Back and Catching Up
Never heard of them they sound like a bar of chocolate, my advice would be to stay clear of any travel site/company/airline that you have never heard of
----------- PERIOD! I have traveled from Las Vegas to England for many years and I have always flown Virgin Atlantic, very comfortable flights and service, and a free flowing booze service ----- which is appreciated much by a very nervous flyer like myself ----- the food is good too! and the flights from Vegas are direct ----- no stops.

They do fly in and out of florida (Fort Lauderdale).

Try the TripAdvisor forums - looks like there are a few threads on there about Condor Airlines.

Condor Airlines Customer Reviews | SKYTRAX
After reading those reviews I would definitely avoid this airline

Re: Over 40's Moving Back and Catching Up
I have just returned to the forum after a few years as we may finally be making plans to return to the UK. But what I wanted to ask is if anyone knows what happened to easterndawn or Peggy who posted on over 50s and 60s returning to uk board. She was an inspiration and I followed the ups and downs of her story with great interest.I have often thought of her and her wee dog and her husband waiting patiently in Canada. I know some of you on here will remember her .Is she OK did her husband ever get to Scotland? Thanks in advance

Trotty - how are you in the deep snow now? Can you post an update? Been thinking of you, especially when I look at my daffs and feel guilty that I have those and you don't.

Re: Over 40's Moving Back and Catching Up
Sorry I couldn't resist.
We changed the clocks today in the US. How about the UK, when do they change?
Are you having the good weather that was forecast for today?
Virgin use to be owned by Singapore Airlines to some degree but now is owned by Delta Airlines.
Cheers

Sounds like an Asian Airline Me I like an airline that stops a least once

Re: Over 40's Moving Back and Catching Up
Islandwoman120....thankyou for asking I was going to post an update but between my husbands illness and the damage done by the snow I have been kept really busy. The snow on the roof caused an ice jam if you remember we had at one point over 5ft of snow on the roof it was in drifts and when it pushed against the flu on the roof the ice and snow melted and ran down into the bathroom and down the living room and dinning room walls all the way into the basement. I didn't catch it for a day and so we had a small lake in the laundry room and Moe's Art room. I had to lift the carpet and buy a dehumidifier to dry it all out.
The insurance adjuster is coming tomorrow to see the damage I doubt they will offer much but it's worth a try.
If I never see snow again I will be quite happy. We still have snow banks on the road about 6ft high and at the bottom of the road about 30ft high. Around the house it's still 5ft deep. My garden won't appear till May but the snow is slowly disappearing.
I am looking at my garden catalogues and dreaming.

Re: Over 40's Moving Back and Catching Up
Well yep cheers your right to a point!! Branson did sale 49% of Virgin Atlantic for around £800 million years ago to Singapore airlines, later they sold that 49% on to Delta who still own that minority share, but Richard Branson still owns 51% he is a pretty smart cookie, in the companies of his that he still wants control over he makes sure he has the majority of shares, he has at least 400 established firms altogether around the world, but there are very few that he owns outright anymore, Virgin media and Virgin sky and virgin trains etc etc he sold big shares of them a long time ago, but still holds percentages of shares in everything, hes smart in the way that he dont put all his eggs in one basket, but he spreads it around hundreds of companies, so if ever a few went bust he still will always have a pretty big grin on his face on the way to the bank

Re: Over 40's Moving Back and Catching Up
Islandwoman120...the weather forecast is for warmer weather these next 10 days, so the snow will be slowly disappearing and just be a memory. Living in Minnesota you must have seen some really bad winters. I just can't wait to see if all my bulbs made it through the harsh winter.
