Have you tried him without goggles? I wear glasses and never wear goggles as I do not need them, I might be wrong, usually am, but unless you go incredibly fast, or if it is very windy or you do night skiing then he shouldn't need them, although he would need sun glasses. I have these that change from dark to light

Is this the best forum to post in?
I bought some new salomon ellipse 8.0 ski boots three years ago, like these in the shop they were fine. However after a short period of sking the right one starts to hurt as if to small at the front of the ankle - looking this site I think it is the peroneus tertiu that hurts So can anything be done, I was thinking of a longer buckle or moving the buckle right to the edge How much does it cost to heat up the boot to make more room for the foot anyone know? |

Going to Italy this Sunday, well maybe.
Booked through a company called Bookable Holidays, the guy who took my booking seemed to have difficulty with names and there was a lot of confusion between use. Sent a email a couple days later with passport details with correct spellings Got a Visa bill, so they managed to get money from the credit card company Got ticket Wednesday and found the initial was wrong, emailed which they ignored, emailed yesterday which they ignored, phoned them today, its going to cost £80 to change Complained to the tour operator who got the bill reduced to £30, which under protest agreed to But to date we have not had contact with the Bookables Any advice anyone? Anyone know what would happen if we just turn up at the airport? |

Thanks, I go into town and pick some Euros up
From Halifax web site "Buying goods and services in a foreign currency When you use your debit card abroad to pay for goods or services, or to withdraw cash at cash machines, the exchange rate we use will be the Visa Reference Exchange Rate. We will charge a conversion fee of 2.75% of the amount of the transaction and a fee of £1.50 for each payment." I have a Halifax Electron and a NatWest Visa Debit card both of which feature in the top 5 Martin Lewis card from hell list :( |

Is it better to change euros here or in Italy
Last time I had some Euros from the previous year so did not exchange any |

Yes, I know, but it was all my ski stuff, from hat to skis. I looked at buying and renting but it meant spending over a hundred pounds on tings like gloves and goggles plus renting boots and skis. Plus you kind of believe your rep
You may not be allowed to take ski boot on as hand luggage, i have been in a situation when I had to go back and send my hand luggage into the boot. A few years ago while coming home with a gf she took her high heeled shoes off and was told she could not carry her shoes on board the plane and had to either send them to the hold or put them on |

Problem with these cheap deals is you put the details in for two people and you get cheap result, HB apartment, lift on the door step. Then you try and book and the deal is based not on two sharing but 20 Go end of March DIY. |

Luck y you
I want to Pamporovo last year my ski things went to Germany Don't worry the rep kept telling use we will have your skis things tomorrow and that is what they told me for 4 days. So I did not buy or rent replacement after all my luggage has to be missing for 24 hours and if I rent/buy the insurance company would pay out I think it was £50 per 24 hours. On the 5 day the luggage arrived in the afternoon ON my return claimed insurance, oh no said the insurance company you did not hire or buy replacements, so claimed from the travel company, oh no they said, you can not have compensation for your ruined ski holiday, you did not claim within 28 days :( |
