Digital cameras, theres loads to choose from, got mine off ebay, about £60, don't know how much in oz but get one with at least 2 mega pixels,then you just plug it in your usb port and upload them on to your pc, your daughter may know what to do.Was my first time in Bulgaria, nice place, been to Spain and Turkey before, love Benidorm, plenty to do there. Grandma and Grandad liked it there too, probably a bit far for you though. 21 years eh, looks like you got it right this time. Regards Craig.

Thanks Craig for advice on digital camera.Have been to Benidorm with a son from a prevouse marriage back in 1984,I loved that San Miguel beer thats what I drink In Philippines all the time.If you convert 1 pound into Philippines Pesos a case of 24 bottles cost less than TWO Pound.One Pound = 96 Pesos one case about 180Pesos,we going again in January 2007.WE can live like a king over their it's so cheap,hope to take my wife to Benidorm one year she'd love I did,she has met Bessie and Colin 1987, shes also been to Europe.Thanks Again Regards Ken

Yea nice beer that San Miguel, i've just finished work, on afternoon shift this week, im having a nice bottle of Magners Irish cider now, it seems to be getting very popular here now, supermarkets can't get enough of it, mind you if San Miguel was that price here i think i'd be an alcoholic by now. My wifes great uncle (her late Grandads brother) lives in Oz, will find out where and let you know. Regards, Craig.
