Quote of the Day.'The advice of Jonathan Alpert, a Manhattan-based psychotherapist. "If you view travel as an adventure and a challenge -- including the long lines and delays -- then it can be fun," he says. His advice is to build in enough time to experience this adventure -- a cushion of time, "just in case there are delays." Avoid tight schedules and deadlines. After all, you're on vacation.

Things I have learnt: I am not great in the cold. Chocolate is lethal for me. Pedicures/Manicures are really essentials! Ditto good haircuts.
Actually, the first two viewings were great also. I thought the fun might have worn off for tonights 6:30pm session of Mamma Mia. With a 3rd friend. But it was great, fun and laughter and at a price that can't be beaten. After changing seats 3 times, well you see I made the 1st choice, then I wanted to sit on the other side of the aisle so I could stretch my aching left leg out into the empty space. Then I discovered that the arm rest of the middle seats lifted up. I moved back to where we had been, only I sat 2 seats in and managed to support my knee on the seat next to me...we settled down to a great couple of hours entertainment. I was surprised at the number of people who walked out as soon as the film ended, thus missing the great and hilarious performances at the very end. Dont leave....stay through the 2 songs..the 2nd is so funny! You will never look at Pierce Brosnan or Colin Firth the same again
