Holiday plans. Do you have any?

I went to Costa Rica last year...fabulous country...but eating out is VERY VERY expensive (and there really are no cheap options wherever the tourist go) so be prepared as tour companies don't usually include meals beyond breakfast (and maybe not even that!)

Get good binoculars for bird and wildlife spotting (we did see a couple of sloth in the wild but more in the rescue centre in Monteverde where they were easy to see!)

We have had to cancelled our Australian adventure and am awaiting a refund as we can’t go via Dubai. So sad as we booked it last May and have been looking forward and counting the days down.

Our flight to Japan in May is via Dubai and the travel company is trying to take the piss. They've let us know of an alternative route going London - Hong Kong - Japan and "would we like to book that now?"

Oh, getting to London from Glasgow and back again? That's your problem. And by the way, this flight carries a flight supplement of £120. Each.

We've paid for a tour departing from Glasgow so I'm not paying extra. Getting to Heathrow in time for the HK flight would add hundreds in flights and one night in the hotel. I'm for telling them to shove it but my wife wants me to be more diplomatic.
