Not strictly relevent but I've seen a few comments about being careful with your money - as in check your change carefully when paying for things. I don't wish to generalise about a country, I'm sure the vast majority are honest and people get ripped off anywhere..........but I've seen it mentioned several times that people have been short-changed in bars and shops.

If you're concerned about food served half-board check tripadvisor. Nearly every hotel is listed and you'll hear whether it's buffet, choose at breakfast etc. and generally the levelof quality.

Though you need to take a few reviews with a pinch of salt. So to speak.

I chose to go to Italy over Austria half board as I think Italian cooking has to be a better bet - one review of the place we're staying was ".....but too much veal". What's wrong with people?

Hopefully go and watch Lance Armstrong in the TdF. And going to Florida. To get fat.

That puts me off off-piste a little!

Inheritance?

I'm confused. Do people watch Rugby so that skiing is even more interesting?

Didn't experience any problems when I used it in January but I normally dump the car and leave. Couldn't do that this time - had to wait 20 minutes until someone could come on look over the car and then sign off the paperwork. That was Budget.

Sounds like cars may be suffering genuine damage, but as stated, due to the way they are driven around there it's probably the staff who are responsible!
