<VV> Convention disappointment!

[Alan and Clare Wesson]

Tony has a point - I have noticed that there is often a dip in prices @ 
about 3-2 months, as the plane wasn't very full and they start to discount 
the tickets to fill it.

Unfortunately, I don't think this will apply with this timing, because it is 
only a few days after our school vacations start, and that's the time with 
the most pressure...

Thanks for the suggestions though...

Cheers

Alan
