Travel (General) - December 2006

Just returned from Mauritius and it's only four hours' time difference so it isn't jet lag. However, it was very hot there and very cold here, the flight was long and Mr. GorgeousFluffpot and I are just flopped out on the sofa, too tired to do anything. Mr. GF is too tired even to scratch his bum, and that means he is seriously tired.
We are too tired to go to bed. Any ideas to get us back to our normal bouncy happy zippy Gorgeous Fluffpots?

I'm looking for a nice, affordable vacation spot for a couple in June. We're really interested in the arts, nice weather, music, adventure, & being around people around our age. We've never ventured out on the west coast before, but it's an option.

f.y.i. We're in our mid 20's.

I'm waiting for a parcel which was sent to me from Washington, USA and I live in West Sussex, UK. It has been ten days now since it was sent by USPS Airmail and it's a Christmas present. The company have given me a customs declaration number but I don't know how or where to use it. Any help would be much appreciated.

My girlfriend was at a cafe in London, having her drink. She had her bag on a seat beside her. Less than a minute, her bag was gone. Immediately, she reported her stolen bag and after she tried to inform and terminate all her credit card services. Well, the thief utilized her Citibank credit card and signed for about $300-400. She paid for those bills. Citibank claims that she had reported her case too late, which is a day later, without considering the difference of the time zone between Singapore and London? I believe as we all know Citibank is a international Bank, how could they make her pay? She had her report. Do we have to highlight the time zone difference to the Citibank banking officer? How much trouble do we have to go through to fight for our case? I do also have a Citibank credit card. I'm wondering should I bring and use it when I'm oversea now?

I know you can use it on the plane...play games & music and stuff. No internet connection, correct?

The house I'm staying at has Internet connection--I'm not sure what. I have wireless DSL. How do I change my internet settings? And will they go back to normal when I return home?

Anything else I need to know?
