Tony if you do decide to go dont worry about your first flight on a plane, its a bit like riding a bus ,but more boring.Just have a drink to calm your nerves unless your going on kuwait, royal brunei or saudi airlnes cuz they dont have booze only soft drinks.If your still going and only have 100 to 300 quid, dont feel guilty and give the poor and in a lot of cases disabled poor walking through the congested roads out from airport, because your have even less cash. And if the worst thing happens and you get mugged at least you have only lost £100 or so.If all goes well and you last a month give me some advise on how you did it it, im sure the members and guests would like to know as well.Your a brave man wish i had the balls to go on your plans. Takecare and always smile especaily in phils.
