Sleepless in Seattle

---

K- Have just spent a lovely couple of days with our good friends M&P & their dog O in Seattle. We have had some great times over the last 4 years with these guys and hope they will catch up with us on our trip. If not - well, they are also kindly looking after our car for the year so we will definitely be catching up with them afterward!

British Airways just manged to rip us off for $100 for canceling a flight - no fee for the cancellation but $100 if we want our 50,000 air miles back.........?! As we had telephoned and asked about cancellation before we made alternative plans and were told that we would get a full refund and our miles back we were less than impressed. That's 10 days travel in SE Asia............well maybe if we were 21 or any good at negotiating!

We fly overnight to South Carolina tonight (hence the dodgy blog title). But first I am off to the Rosetta Stone. I am a little worried that despite Marks expertise re: bicycles our Spanish is not quite what it should be. Other than that very excited.
