I don't think the budget airlines with their luggage weight restrictions have ever heard of the 7p's.

The last time we were out, we left a charger, (both my Blackberry and my wife's Motorola use the same adapter) because we knew we were going to be restricted with luggage - I know it doesn't weight much but our aim is to travel light and make it easier wherever possible.

But I think my Dad thought it was his own and brought it back with him the last time he was out.

However, your right, the Cheshire Cat fiasco was indeed p*ss poor planning

The most important thing to remember is that you were MISSED by everyone who could find it.



It's pretty poor when you grab at straws and blame "your dad"



ps. a secret poll revealled that most forum members travel with a charged battery in case their dad has nicked the charger

We too struggled to find the Cheshire Cat (but at least we were in Torviscas!)
I eventually decided to ask the next person I heard speaking English - it was Janet with entourage!!!

It did!

Myself, SWMBO, Janet and the Rocks were almost at the Cheshire Cat, when this voice interjected, 'Are you Janet?' (or something like that)

Timing or what?

Janet was the only member I had met before (from those who turned up on Saturday) and she just happened to be leading the others - as only Janet can!

Should the poll now be removed that the event has passed?

Maybe the thread might develop into an 'I'm out next week/month/year' type discussion.
