Nice house in .za. Tell us a little more about it if you like.
Thank you.

Long story short.

My first house, designed it, had a guy build me a timber frame home when timber frames were rare and unknown in South Africa.
People build in brick and mortar there.
Lived and loved it for a few years, then sold it to move 50km across town.
I loved it, my first wife hated it, as she wanted a completed 2 bedroom home, I prefered bigger and doing all the finishes myself.










Was chatting with Dennis, and also Alistair, and it is interesting to see how prices are all over the place for flights.


[quote author="@alistairk" source="/post/2733616/thread" timestamp="1653581945"]@grizz I've no idea. Ticket prices seem to be up and down all over. Jiggling a few days either way seems to sometimes affect the prices quite a lot, or going a week earlier or later. Obviously avoid peak school holidays, etc. and special events in either UK or US (like thanksgiving or 4th July whatever)

Just play with Skyscanner / Expedia whatever and see how it shapes up.

I think my tickets were like £460 but the swine then said that didn't include hold baggage! BA is becoming EasyJet... I paid £50 for my return home bag but I took a seat upgrade with free bags on the way out as they made me a nice offer

Also be aware BA have told me "car and motorcycle parts" are prohibited items in hold baggage now...

So a bunch of stuff ended up coming home in the boot of the LTD. Hopefully it all makes it here OK...[/quote]


You are right, prices are erratic.

Agreed, they become sneaky.

I was just chatting with Dennis.

Then went onto Google for direct flights to St Louis,

However, not available.

At £683.00 though, I am going.

BUT……

The price is cheaper right now, were I to buy (got to sort a new passport and ESTA visa) than in 2019 when I went.
