    yeah, sounds like QANTAS and Jetstar. Same deal. I always do my best to get QANTAS simply for the service and safety record. Jetstar is more your cattle class deal. Not my cuppa at all. But you do ok keeping an eye out for special deals. :)
    Compared to the likes of Ryanair and Wizzair in Europe, Jetstar is awesome. Except in their terms Jetstar wouldn't qualify as a low-cost airline.

    Well it was a long time ago! :D

    And after the trip to Indo on Garuda, my first ever flight anywhere, I made good and sure I was hammered for the return trip so I slept through most of it! :D Figured if I was gonna die I might as well die peaceful. :p

    Tahiti Nui doesn't sound very good at all. Can you drink? That'd be my advice. :)

    Good luck Hels! : D not that you'll need it of course ;)

    Just a few pointers before you go... stop drinking, smoking and swearing... oh wearing a twin set and pearls, a knee length skirt, ankle socks and flat shoes might go down well... and don't forget to mention that you're a wholesome Cat'lic gal... That's what I did when I met Dave's parentals... ; )

    hehe! : p

    Seriously though, He adores you for you and his family will see how happy you both are. If his big sis approves then so will his folks. Just be yourself, you're a wonderful person and have absolutely no reason to be nervous : )
    :D hahaha... you're brilliant... thank you! Stop drinking, smoking and swearing? :o are they gonna meet my evil twin?

    being in love? lol then move somewhere and be together instead of
    flying back and forth to wherever all the time

    this is 2 people hooking up on the weekend and doing whatever during the week

    quite the relationship ;)

    :) it's ok... he wouldn't know much about that! From the beginning I've been of the opinion that once it starts feeling tedious there'd be no point... but it just gets better and better. Even if it's not to be, I wouldn't regret any of this cos if you ask me what I want to be doing this weekend... my answer would be exactly what I WILL be doing :) . Some people don't understand, bless! :D

    Anyway, I have no need to defend us :D

    Besides, I've seen these two together...Tis love alright ;)

    Show up with a copy of the new Whitesnake album, Good To Be Bad, and just start jamming.

    That will win over any parent and any that aren't won over, aren't worth trying for.
    Do you remember Rock & Roll Radio?

    that's the plan :) but for reasons I'll keep to myself (mainly money/work related, one of us could be much richer soon) we can't do that JUST yet :) but thanks for your advice.

    You want them to like you, especially if you eventually go the big "M" route someday, which is the eventuality of nearly all for-life-type relationships.
