Ruth M ...DS is an Intermediate snowboarder and his girlfriend is a non skier but going the learn at Ski Dubai before they go. I expect they are looking at a bit of romance with good après skiing. Their budget is not 4 or 5* but their tastes are..lol Probably about 3 not backpackers! Anymore help please!

DS and girlfriend are looking at a ski holiday next year in Europe. As they are EK crew they can fly into Geneva or Milan easy. He is not old enough to rent a car so needs transport from airport to wherever. Any recommendations?

Hopefully your daughter will bring back the friendly smile of crew that now seems to have gone missing! In a recent thread when Qatar won the Skytrack award most people said how rude the crew was.

Wok- In ...Fab if you like Asian food of course. Have been here numerous times and love the concept. Buffet but the mains are on the menu so they come out fresh and hot. If you enjoy a particular meal you may reorder! They also have a alcohol package ,so the deal is great

I think Kitchen Aid are a set price World wide. They are never reduced anywhere! Strollers well far more selection here and better quality. If you don't want the top designer and happy with anything ,when there look up the trading post ( like Dubizzle ). All electrical items you will have far more selection here! Remember this with everything in Aust. Real estates, the large ones are Ray White, L J Hooker, The Proffessionals . CBD areas, New Farm, Paddington, Toowong, Highgate Hill, Kelvin Grove. So when you look up the net and research look at hese areas

DH thinks about 1300sq ft. Our kitchen is huge as well as our bedroom which also fits our office Services are excellent. The air con was blocked inn the ceiling of the kitchen the other day so when I came home water was dripping down and floor was all wet, rang them immediately and someone was there to fix it in 5 mins. always very clean and security knows everyone so very safe. If you have LO then the playground is always busy and the gym is well maintained.

Summer shopping festival is 14/06 for a month. Don't expect everything to be on sale as this is for shops who pay a fee to be part of it. Most shopping centres have a car a day for a raffle or huge amounts of money. You will find most clothing shops start their sales this coming week as department stores have already started.

Basically your up the creek without a paddle! Lol Have spent the last 3 summers here with my teenage son. 1st yr did nothing just movies, pool, shopping centres. 2nd yr he got tutoring for a month at Knowledge Village...boring 3 rd yr , the Convention centre turned into 1 big indoor sports hall so he did basketball twice a week and not much else. He was sooo white from being indoors he looked sick! So this year we are sending him to a Summer camp in Switzerland for 2 weeks. Sorry this doesn't really help you ,just letting you know another alternate

DS walks to school and home everyday which takes about 15min, think it's about 1.5 km. He walks very slow. DS is 16 but has been doing it for yrs. Yes it is HOT but take water and you won't melt. Back in OZ on the Gold Coast all the kids ride their bikes or walk. It is extremely hot and humid in Summer but then my sons have arrived home after riding threw a downpour so which is worse a huge storm with hail or a bit of heat? DH lived in North Qld as a child which is even hotter and more humid and guess what no A/C. He survived . Exercise seems to be a curse for children here, hence type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol is on the rise.

You will not be able to gain access to it here if not already on your laptop. If you bought it here take it back to shop and ask them to download it for you.Otherwise if friend has it then download onto a USB and transfer across.
