travelinwifey : thanks for the tip re biddingfortravel, must have a look.

Wow, dinner for $10 !!! You are spoilt !

I'm smiling now because we went for what was supposed to be a freebie last night - free mussels & beer. Of course, we decided we wanted bread with the mussels, then another course, and a bottle of water... Our 'free' night out ended up costing up £36 for 2 ! And the only reason we didn't buy more drinks because we were in the car :-)

I'll be sure to bear in mind a possible GTG if I ever come to LV. Have you been to Scotland ?

Yes, once. It was great. We did a 2 week tour and spent 5 nights in Scotland- Glasgow and Endinburgh. Was with a CIE tour. Holyrood House and Edinburgh Castle were the favorite attractions so far. I just love staying in historic castles, something we don't have in the US. The people were so friendly. When my spouse retires I'd like to take a few weeks to just drive around Scotland and Wales and stay in castles and Manor homes the whole way.

Travelinwifey, it's all good! I'll take any info I can get!

Thanks to all for your suggestions.

Have a great time & hope you find a good deal:)
