In 2009 we spent a week here:

Re: Just moved to Las Vegas

I discovered a new English pub down in Henderson the other week. It's called Shakespeare's and is on Eastern and Coronado Center. Fairly decent, though I think it's part of a chain.

Re: Manchester to Atlanta with Delta or Northwest?

I've not flown that route, but I have flown Delta transatlantic. The entertainment was just an overhead screen, so it kind of sucked, but I like Delta because they've never let me down...which is...

Re: UK qualifications/credential verification

I have been through this exact same process. I'm a teacher in Nevada, and I used ECE Inc. out of Milwaukee, WI. Basically my A-Levels were the equivalent of actual college credits, my 3 year 2:2 from...
