You seriously will be. My mates brother worked in Cuba for a few years and has had loads of his websites closed by MYSTERIOUS U.S. GOVERNMENT TYPES, he is not allowed into america (or at least wasn't) and was on some scary list.

Mind you, he did live on in a house that Castro bought him and had dinner with him as a 'thank you' for the business he gave him.

There is no way that you need US customs to know that you have worked in Cuba, no way. I also know people refused entry into the US because of it.

That's a really good reason to swerve it.

You wouldn't like the prices or the modernisation, best to keep those boss memories in your head mate.

often look Paros up ont'web and tbh it looks the same, as do some other places we visited in Thailand and Indonesia, then some have surpassed us with modernisation, like Malaysia and Penang. Kuala Lumpur was kind of 'being built' and now is a big flash modern gaff.
I think Hong Kong will always be Hong Kong with it's Chungking Mansions etc. would love to take the kids on a big tour to places we've been to though, show them the acropolis and such.
I don't think any of their friends have been to Athens and the only ones that I know of that have been to greece was when the shoite played there and a load went to Kefalonia which is a fantastic island.
most that we know seem to go to the eurocamps in france and spain, except for the ones with just 1 kid who head to florida etc.

I rate Bali as 1 of the best places we went to, was very cheap and still is. A totally unique place and was brilliant, what i wouldn't do for another 2 months lazing away there.

been to El Delphin Verde twice, bit out of the way but my arl fella drives over so we have his motor.

Cambrills park, fantastic but 1 of the most expensive.

going this year to Castell de Montgri....will let you know.


i believe the dutch one (Duinruin ?) is really good, the 1 this year is 1/2 the price of the Cambrills one.

How [Poor language removed] the pound at the moment?

It's down to 1.49 against the dollar and less than 1.10 to the euro.

Super if you get paid in dollars like.

Broken Britain and all that.

All because of uncertainty of an election. The markets are worried Brown will get another 5 years to "finish the job"
 

One time the Mrs and I were traveling in Canada. We stopped a rest stop for a quick bite, a KFC if I remember correctly. We each got our "value" meal with drink, and I handed the cashier a $20 US bill. She gave me $21.34 Cdn as my change...

Dude, it's just unreal.

This time last year it was 1 pound = 2450 Korean Won

Now it is 1 pound = 1688 Won

I am dumping so much money back in to my UK account right now.

For every grand I send back I make 350 quid profit compared to last year.

These are golden times to be earning abroad.
