Hi all again,
I'm really sorry if it gave the impression I disappeared without so much as a thank you, but for some reason my posts are not appearing! I've tried to reply twice since last week and both times got a message that my post had to be reviewed by a moderator, and that's as far as it got
I'm hoping just a quick reply with no quotes will go through, so that at least I have the chance to thank you all, Pandaperth, Unterwegs and Gardyloo for taking the time to reply to my post with all your suggestions. I've taken notes of the points you have suggested and will be attempting to improve my itinerary as much as possible!
