I've been back to Wales 3 times since we got here in November 2004 but then I have 3 children there, so I have good reason to return. I plan another trip some time this year, but it's not going to be easy financially and, to be honest, I'm not looking forward to the plane again

Woudn't be so bad if it was just the cost of the flights, but when you take into account the spending money too (notwithstanding however good or bad the exchange rate may be at the time), it turns out rather expensive. Last time I was in Wales, I set myself a budet of 250GBP per week - not unreasonable for a holiday with 4 kids to feed and entertain I thought, until I realised that was $750 coming out of our bank account every week

I wish they had The Sun newspaper over here, where you could cut out the token and fly to the UK for $5, like they used to do for going to France, Spain, etc.....
