    Just hire your own jet.

    Are you going to Kruger ?

    ps. spent a fair bit of time in San Fran, nice enough but never really done it for me, the weather is carp
    Thanks will need the luck. Not going to Kruger (have been before and it's excellent) but am going here. http://www.pilanesberg-game-reserve.co.za/index.html

    Calpol will literally be on tap

    One over and one under 2 is a good mix as you can get the seat between you and pile them up.

Then 10 hours or so to Sydney plus a little extra to Brisbane. Off to the gold coast and to a wedding in Brisbane. Flying home the same way. Just 1 kid who will turn 1 later this month.

    Several Spies working together or a couple of HWG/Soldier + Medic Uber combos at the same time will deal with that

    Spies work best when they have room to manouver and can get behind the opposition either cloaked or disguised. Multiple Turrets means death for a spy as soon as he is revealed.

    OS - where are you stopping off ? I was pondering that, I usually stop off in Bangkok but I'm thinking it's not very child friendly. One option is go via the States and break twice on the East and West cost but the LA-Oz flight is a biggie.

    Hour long breakfasts, reading the papers.

    difficult once kids are around. However, playing with said kids is also great fun!

    and taking them on a flight - nightmare!!
