Holiday

Unread post by Dr Bunsen Honeydew »

On holiday from 5th to 19th December. I hope to get all outstanding orders done by then, but I am away in France to check a system this weekend so I may fall short on a couple of items.

I will keep you informed.

It is only a small very reasonably priced 3 star Inn with about 30 rooms in a small village of 50 people, with no large hotels, in the middle of a bird sanctuary, on the opposite end (90min cab ride from airport) of the big hotel end of the island of Tobago.

But it has wi-fi, so you wont get rid of me :P :lol:

Looking the other way, at the hotel.
