Shaan's Super OE Adventure
Hello everyone!

As you can tell, I am in Nice on the French Riviera at the moment and am relaxing today before a long 11 hour bus ride to Barcelona tonight, arriving at 4.30am tomorrow, just in time to see the sunrise - Im going to try and make it to the Sagrada Familia before sunrise cause i think that would be amazing! since it has been a fez days since i updated i will do a day by day diary.. so here goes
actually am having trouble with this computer and the french keyboard so will do it all back in london.. i have been keeping a written diary and will transfer it on to here..

Vinicius Hi .Booked flights and hoetls through (On The Beach). Flyglobespan flight and olympic holiday hoetls, was due to fly out on the 26th Dec. 2009. Had to re-book flights through olympic holidays as they were the cheapest at time. had a great holiday but then had to come home and fight to get refund on original flights. Booked through B.O.S visa debit card total cost of flights a31254 and after 6 weeks of phone calls letters and e-mails i recieved a letter saying B.O.S will not be paying out please see (On The Beach) for refund.I am now in the proccess of official complaint through finacial ombusman, will let everyone know how i get on, I think i have given B.O.S a fair chance to follow the chargeback rules now i am seeking the help from the ombusman.Martin
Yesira The Eyewitness guides are geraed more for grade school aged kids. The lonely planet has more background information and detail about the different sites and events. They are both great, but it all depends on what you want out of the book. My kids have several in the eyewitness series and they love them.
Affi You can't book cheap domestic fhiglts within China because they don't exist. Try the websites of Air China, China Eastern, etc, or travel websites like Kayak.com and Zuji.com, Zuji is Travelocity's Asia-Pacific portal. You might find better fares through a travel agent in Shanghai. Good luck.
Jenny I wrote an article on this very sjucebt. You're probably best to think in terms of the right' price rather than the cheapest'. Decide on what you'd like to pay and aim for something as near to that as you can.However be realistic. You're not going to find return flights for a320!The guide contains not only the best way to source the flights (websites etc there are many) but how to try and bring the price down by way of information relating to what type of flight, time of day, airports and a whole bunch of stuff. Good luck and a great journey to you.
