So sorry to hear your news, Mich. It is so nice that he had a good life, though. Condolences to you both.Sadly, we are in a similar situation - the 30 year old son of a friend passed away from a blood clot so we are going over on Monday - The airlines are a real rip off, Melbourne, Wellington, Melbourne return is near enough $1,900.00! Probably would have been cheaper had I scoured the internet, but no time for that. I really resent the charges, but there is little choice.
