Jim, I still stuck with Delta so I still will end up in Manchester on Xmas Day so the trip would have to be made even if my gf can get a flight to Newcastle. Plus she has never met my parents before so she wants me to be there when she finally does.
White Xmas eh? Typical that isn't it, especially since I have to get from Manchester to Newcastle!! This trip is proving to be one disaster after another and I still haven't left Buenos Aires yet!!
I'm sure my Argie gf will apreciate a white Xmas though as it is always red hot here at Xmas time!
