Ross, it's absolutely true, I guess I'm just lucky or a good Liar and please use simple speak as I can't find my dictionary :lol:

The mobile charges even if you are not are the most reasonable I have come across. You do have to be on a Monthly Contract. I am not sure about the Modem for your laptop though. Anyone who visits Austria regularly like Dave would do well to have 3 as their preferred provider.

I have posted some photos of my week on Facebook and made the album public!!

Dale, your getting the idea :wink:

I went DIY last year the Hotel Negrittella was great the offer was half board food was brilliant, choice of menu and you selected your choice of menu the night before which was no problem for us, the difference I think was it was not a package hotel the cliental was mainly Italian we were the only English staying there.
I'm trying to remember how much we paid it was about E260 that was for the two of us for four nights including Vino.
The resort was ok bars were friendly, but the slopes for me let the resort down, short runs, no difficult runs and you seem to spend too much time on the lifts. In fact we spent a lot more time on the slopes of Ponte Legno where the runs were more Red. If your wearing "L" plates it will be a great resort, for anybody above that give Passo a miss.

Guy's I have never had my skis or boots weighed at either the checkin desk or oversized baggage :-)
