When did you book your flights and how much did you pay? Who did you fly with and what was the service like?
I have promised ds a proper holiday next year when he finishes GCSE's so we can go a bit earlier than usual school holidays. Due to health and financial problems we haven't had a real holiday for 6 years - just odd days out in the Summer holidays and I really want to have a special holiday with him.
I don't mind gradually working out the other stuff for when we are there - I've got some relatives in California who can help with that - but they haven't flown to the UK for years so don't know much about that side of things.
