  1. Might just mention in my email today I had an invitation to apply for the UK trusted site. However 70 pounds for the first year and 50 pounds each year afterwards so I will not be applying.

    Our $50 for 5 years is a steal.

     

    I also got this via email today. Thought it might be spam. Don't visit the UK often enough to spend that much.

     

    On another note, when we got off our cruise ship in Sydney, AU, I asked personnel there about the location of their Nexus/Global Entry. Got this blank look. I explained what it was, and was told she'd never heard of anything like this in Australia. Anyone else had this happen 'down under'?:rolleyes:

     

    I got a letter inviting me to join the UK program also, for the same fee you mention. I don't travel there often enough for it to be worthwhile.

    Regarding NEXUS in Australia, NEXUS is a Canada - USA program only. Global Entry is only for clearance into the USA. There is a trusted traveller program in Australia, but I can't remember the name of it, Again, I don't travel there enough to make it worth while.

  2. Make sure you put the items where the person who checks your fridge everyday can see the stuff. Our guy didn't see where we put it, (on top of the shelf unit), and kept refilling the fridge and charging our account. He quit refilling and charging when we pointed out the storage area to him.

  3. I just got off Explorer of the Seas in Dubai. I was concerned about my medications two I need are on the "prohibited" list. ****** and Xanax. There was so much conflicting information I was worried. No problem getting off the ship. Did not have a problem with medications at the airport. They did take our universal power strip saying it was not allowed. Go figure. I had my meds in original containers from the pharmacy, copies of the prescriptions, and a letter signed by my dr stating the medication, dosage, and medical condition used for.

    Who took your power strip? Royal or someone in Dubai?

  4. I have been assured by my tour operator that should the ship divert to Haifa, they will pick us up there and do the same tours as they would normally do out of Ashdod, ( subject to the security situation, of course.)

     

     

    Just bear in mind that Haifa is a good two hour ride to Jerusalem one way, or more.
