Coz if you spell it wrong, you get a religious comment :wink:

Nice rug :twisted:

Hope you had a great time, glad you are home safely.

Have a great trip Icy. Hope the aurora borealis plays ball for you. If not see, if you can get an autograph of Bjork for me please :twisted:

Ugh, egg yolk, milk and muesli all dripping out the bottom of my back pack. No thanks :twisted:

Posting on the Livigno Facebook page..

"Local police announces: Forcola Pass covered with snow - snow chains or snow tyres are a must!"

:twisted: Nearly there!

I also have to disagree Brucie.

DIY'ing is not always about saving money, but about making sure you get what you want.

Having said that, I have been able to beat TO prices on many occasions by going direct. An example was one I looked at earlier this year, the brochure price was £1400 pp. I visited the hotel website and could have booked the rooms direct at £700 pp. Exactly the same service, half board, and the same room types. It would have cost us £500 per vehicle going (x2) with 3 people in each vehicle. Cost of trip DIY = £867 pp, only thing missing is no resort rep.

We did not book it due to other reasons (namely an idiot son of the guy I go with decided to get married that weekend :shock: ), but I doubt the price would have fallen to the level we could have got it for.
