    you all talk about priceline?! what is that???? never heard of it before, really. is that like an auction where you say what you want to pay and wait if someone says, OK, I'll do, uhm, give it to you for that price?

    Priceline is the best website to book hotels. Basically you bid a price and they accept or decline. I got a 3 star Dubline hotel for $60, which I think is like 42 EUR. They add taxes and s/c on thop of that so it might be like 50 EUR. You can save up to 50%.

    I never pay full price for a hotel now. Also, everyone I've told about this website loves it now.

    The only downside is you don't know the hotel until you pay, but you get to select the # of stars and area before hand.

    Evenin' all,
    Hope you're all well. I've been out for a family meal as it would have been my Grandfathers birthday today.
    Anyway, seems Berlin planning is the object of the evening :D I need to book my flight to Berlin (I know, I know!!) and I am staying in Motel One on Alexanderplatz. Looking at things to do in Berlin, I will get there on the 26th so have a few days to explore. I studied European history at college, so there are some places related to that I would like go.

    Does anyone know of anyone looking for Belfast tickets? A friend has contacted me to say - does any one want two seated tix (non 10 Club) to the Belfast gig? My friend can't go any more (she's gutted) and is looking to sell hers. They are upper circle, row W, they cost her £93 all in and she's not looking for a profit, just to recoup the cash she's already spent.

    Yep, that would be the general time. The longest delay is getting through security, once you get through that, you're doing fine. Berlin Schonefeld check your bags before you check in which is annoying, so keep an extra few minutes handy there for that.

  • dottlesdottles Posts: 9,140
    Yeah, June can't come soon enough!!
    My family were all talking about birthdays etc earlier and they've decided to all give me Euros for mine which is just before Dublin, so that will help with the spending money and Mum and Dad have said I can either have Euros from them or the new camera I want (it's a Canon Powershot SX210IS if anyone is good at camera stuff...I like the spec and trust Canon :? :) )

    Just got two flights left to book, as I've kinda decided not to do Venice. Brussels home could involve a couple of flights or a stop in London or Manchester before I come home.

    Yeah, got a big family and we all still do the pressie giving thing, so it costs me a fortune throughout the year (and about £600 at Christmas!) but it means I get lots of pressies for my birthday too...plus Mum and Dad paid for my show tickets as my Xmas pressie this year. :mrgreen:

    Can't go wrong with a canon camera...2 of my last 3 were canon...the last one i bought was a powershot something..it's a great little thing..had it for at least a few years now...couldnt have done better for the price.

    Just booked my 2nd last flight today...london to berlin..arriving on the 28th. Now the toughest flight is on the way home...eithe paris to home, or paris to london to home..

    Yep, nearly there :D oh and getting from Arras to Leuven I have to sort that too.
    I know of two Belfast tickets going, but none for Berlin, but I'm sure we'll sort something out...
    Even with the family chipping in, yep it is adding up in costs but half of it is my own fault for deciding to stay in hotels...I'm not a princess, honest. It's just I prefer a comfy bed (made before I check in) and my own bathroom :lol:

    Yeah, I got a neat little Canon I've had for a few years and it hasd taken an absolute battering being dropped at shows, in gig (as in rowing) sheds, beaches, pavements, rugby/football pitches, bars, pubs and generally ill treated on nights out. It still works but it is starting to show signs of wear now, grinding and the lens cover sticking, the battery covedr not quite fitting and loads of dents/scratches.
