Morning all :D

Shame about Monarch, we flew with them to Egypt many years ago. They've been in trouble since the terrorism in Egypt, Tunisia and Turkey which were their main routes. Losing that trade cost them millions and they just don't seem to have been able to recover. Glad it won't affect your holiday kaz.

Terrible news from Las Vegas, lots of people dead and injured. Doesn't look like a terrorist act, but it does make you wonder if/when the US will ever deal with it's gun laws. Sadly I doubt it :(

Bright and sunny here at the moment, not sure what we're doing today, might pop out later.

Have a good day :D

Jenni, I wonder just what it will take for the US to do something about their gun laws, because it's really dire over there. So many people affected by this latest tragedy

As for Monarch - I feel for them and for the people flying with them, because they used to be really popular. Thomson has been taken over by Tui, so that's another UK package holiday / charter flight company no longer around. Terrorism definitely has a lot to do with it :(

I've spoken to her, she has no worries, it'll all be sorted. At least they're in their own home, not a hotel ;)

Evening all, gosh I'm late, the day got away from me :shock: My sister called quite early when she was going to the playground with Kellie, she had some stuff for us about Washington. Then I went to the gym, a new woman has started going to the class so afterwards I asked if she would like to come to the cafe for a cuppa. We had a nice chat and when we were going, she thanked me for asking her, saying she had felt a bit out of it because everyone seemed to know everyone else. That's how I felt when I started there so I understood how she felt.

I finished another pile of ironing and in between times, I was watching updates on the Las Vegas horror. We gave been there twice, and saw Barry Manilow in the Mandalay Bay. Sadly, I cannot see the current administration doing anything on gun control - the NRA contributed $30M to Trump's campaign and he told them they had a friend in the White House.

Jen, we also went to Egypt with Monarch. I think their collapse will affect many travel companies.
