Honestly I think that wasn't a rejection as such, more an issue of relative cost. -- Woody

Well maybe... You just have to put yourself in a contemplative frame of mind. It gets quite easy, then. -- Peter

Just before christmas arriving in miami, got off the plane, walked to the place where they were doing the checking. Stood in a queue for just over an hour before we got through. Odly it only took about 5 mins talking to them, and there were 10 of them, so not sure why it took so long given the number of people. The queue was quite long behind though. Stilll, that was before the christmas day attack - they have increased security since then. -- Woody |
