Matthew's Journal

I just want to plug the American Express travel agents in town today. I spent half an hour or so in there trying to sort out the most cost-effective way of getting to the conference in Portorož, Slovenia. After much faff, the nice bloke said "I think your best bet is going to be Ryanair to Trieste, and a hotel transport from there", and told me that I could either book the flight with them, or save myself 20UKP by booking over the 'net.

In effect, he'd happily given me half an hour of his time (and knowledge) absolutely free :)
