I can't see the point if you're not gonna be able to get out and see the place. You might as well hire a butler for a couple of days and pretend you're in a hotel room. You could steal your own towels and everything.

Hubby brought back season 1,6 and 7 when we came back. However he has a pal here this week so has not had time to subject me to that any night so far as we have been out each night. Got a few days left to lose them. :p

I have to agree... Family Guy is hilarious!! I absolutely love the series.

You can watch them online (just google family guy online and it's something like www.familyguynow.com).

The monsoon's were on the news here, wasn't looking pretty!

Just get yourself in a nice hotel or something (Anantara in Abu Dhabi and you can still feel on vacation, get the private plane transfer from Abu Dhabi!) :thumbup:

It's on a private island/wildlife reserve, but ok, I'm glad you took time from your schedule to let us know your thoughts on this subject.

Thanks...And if you're in a foreign country and your hotel room only has like 20 english channels? Forget it, there's just no way you can stay up in the room all day

Good idea about waiting till the monsoons are finished! - Rain in Mumbai means - water levels up to your waist (and I know how tall you are...lol). Traffic paralysed and it is complete chaos...
