[scott&ligaya]

hi there , long time since I have posted. Just to let you know we got tickets with Cathay for one adult plus a 2 children (over 2) for £661 and £648 x 2 so £1958 plus £30 booking fee for Heathrow to HK 2 day stop over then to Manila, leaving June 29then rtn on 29th August. The agent was FLYANDGO. . I feel this is a good price when skyscanner and others were over £800. I booked on Wednesday evening and got e tickets on Thursday. All seems well . The outgoing flight is 2250 so great for the kids as they are tired anyway and I do not lose work time dropping them at Heathrow.

We have booked for all of us (2 adults, 2 Kids) £2,600 leaving 14th July for 3 weeks, so only missing the last week of school. A little more than expected but flying from Newcastle, so much easier.

We will be at the Birmingham Barrio fiesta on the Sunday, would be nice to meet up with members.

... dates clash with Doc Alan's Scarborough weekend!

[Arthur Little]

's a shame, Scott ... we'd been hoping to see you there.

[Arthur Little]

Anyway ... good to see you back posting here again.

[Doc Alan]

Next month's weekend in Scarborough ( east coast of England, not South China Sea ) is hardly a Barrio Fiesta, and it's a long way for some - especially Arthur and Myrna, among those who have already booked . Still not too late - see http://filipinaroses.com/showthread....in-Scarborough

Not told them yet, as its only the last week I hope its not a problem. It's only the older one in school at the moment, younger one starts in September.

i think you need to give 2 weeks notice, also depending on the local education authority policy and on the headmaster, i asked for little joes headmaster for permission the head granted that, as i told them he had never seen his family in the phils, same letter to my gals secondary school who refused us taking her out of school, (shes was 4 when she left the phils - not seen her family for more than 7yrs) anyway the refusal letter arrived after we had gone , not really heard anything, the head can fine each parent £50, rising to £100 if not paid within 28 days. If you fail to pay a penalty fine within 42 days you will be prosecuted.

so i wait and see
