wish I wasn't going

On Friday I am off on an umpteenth holiday to The Gambia. For once I am totally organised and my bags are packed already. I wanted to enjoy the next few days just looking forward to the visit. In fact I had so much time on my hands that I had a look at "The Bantaba in Cyberspace". Big mistake!!!! Only bad news about the Gambia, nothing positive whatsoever. Worst of all, Viking airline, the one that Gambia Experience uses now, apparently flies uncomfortable and dangerous planes. So, if I should actually get to my destination and not get hassled by some customs official and not get ripped off by all manner of people and businesses it is possible Viking airline will go bust and I will be stranded in the Gambia. Still, at least the sun will be shining.
As a matter of interest are there any readers here who have returned recently and have something positive to say? Are there still any readers here at all?????

Re: wish I wasn't going

Just go and enjoy yourself and tell us all about it. i can't travel at the moment so I don't have much to say but I do read when there is something to read!

Re: wish I wasn't going

Wish you a pleasant time though. I wish I could join you, but it has become difficult and expensive from here.
I can tell lots of stories travelling with airlines who collapse while I was in The Gambia. But I always found my way back. So good luck to you!

How do you manage that? All I ever get on that site is that there are no topics available
