Weird day today - some sun , some reasonable skies , some grey skies and some blooming dark clouds

In other words - the mixture as before


OH and someone has been missing in action since Saturday - now I wonder where he's gone ?

And the fee to the Royal Mail for collecting the duty

John - I have not got a PayPal account and have absolutely no intention of having one .

As some posters here have found out - I'm quite happy to pay by Bank transfer - but this is not really possible for sales outside of the UK [ it costs me and the recipient ]

Trial pack of case was interesting - all that's to go in now are an extension block, mains chargers for my phones and the iTouch, the papers and a few books that will have to be taken . and I've plenty of room left - weight - a surprising 7kg !!

I'll check again once I have the papers , but I think there's plenty of room for my carry on bag in the case

That means I can use the Rally 5 as a carry on bag and know that my camera is safe

Too true .

Perhaps it could be made compulsory that the country of normal residence must be given ? This would at least give us an indication as to a poster's whereabouts and still let them keep some privacy.

Mike a great set

Love the colours - particularly # 2 - the colour just brings that one to life

The squirrel - well of course I love it - never realised their ears were quite as hairy as that

The peacock - that blue - it's electric , absolutely stunning !!

This is what I'm trying to work out - after all my camera bag is only slightly smaller than my carry on bag . Contents of my handbag [ tiny ] will fit in the front pocket of the Tamrac Rally - I'm trying to work out if the camera bag would equate with a laptop bag ?

As yet I don't have the quantities of paper [ still to be printed and I've not yet got them on my computer ] so I've no idea how much there is involved - so far what I have is 40- 50 sheets and I suspect there will be the same again ]

I'm going to do a trial pack of my case this afternoon to see how much space there is - and how I'm going for weight . This smaller plane is a real PITA

To add to this complicated mess my flight number is a normal Aer Lingus one - EI3223 not an Aer Arann 3000-4000 ARGH

I've the same sort of feeling - the snag is that this is genuinely an Aer Lingus flight , all my ticketing stuff says so , and it was Aer Lingus who took the dosh BUT it's operated by an Aer Arann plane which is smaller than the Aer Lingus ones , and of course gives me a lower weight for everything

I don't enjoy flying [ mildly claustrophobic ] so this sort of thing doesn't help .

Oh well - suppose the Tamrac will have to be my cabin bag and I'll need to collapse the other bag and see if it will go in my case

BAH

Anyone done this with Aer Lingus ?

I'm heading off next Monday from Glasgow and though it's booked through Aer Lingus it's on an Aer Arann flight. That's OK but it's the baggage bit that's concerning me

According to them I can have a carry on bag and now the restrictions on size for Aer Arann are smaller/lower than Aer Lingus So I'm having a minor panic .

I'd planned to take my Tamrac Rally 5 [ 35.5cm wide 24 cm high and 14cm deep ] as a camera bag , which it is, and it will only have camera stuff in it - lenses , batteries , lens cloths etc.; as well as my normal carry on bag which is a wee bittie bigger [ 35 by 30 by 18 ]

I've checked and the Tamrac will fit in my other bag , I'll need both in Dublin as I have papers [ lots of them ] to carry.

Anyone know exactly which limits will be applied ? The contact us / help links are useless - only applicable for changing bookings etc.
