Looking at walking holidays again. Wife fancies the Amalfi Coast, I'm looking at Albania. Might have to go twice, or separately. :emoticon-0101-sadsm

Would that be the Russian warships en route to Ukraine? :emoticon-0105-wink:
I've seen them before. Quite frightening really. Sure Erdoğan has closed the strait to warships due to the agreement. İt has a year or two to run iİrc. Then Türkçe can charge all for passage if they want. Should be lucrative for them. Not sure if canal İstanbul will go ahead like he wants but they might be a larger key player in the area if it happens.
 
Anyone out there, been to the USA recently?...When applying for ESTA, do you now have to upload your passport details....I'm confused (no change there then). Some on Trip Advisor say you do, others you don't. Anyone know for sure..

I go over quite a lot, if your getting your esta, make sure it's the proper official site your using as some sites are complete scams.

https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/

Last time I did mine it was relatively straight forward, just fill in all the details and make sure you check and recheck as if the esta gets refused you will have to go to the embassy in London to get a visa sorted

Hi Howden....Thanks for the link, but the last time you applied for a ESTA, did you have to upload your passport details...
I applied for one this year, on the official site, and I did need to give my passport number, issuing authority and expiry date.
 
Hi Howden
Thx for your message.

I have just had it confirmed with my travel agent that from now on everyone applying for an ESTA to travel to US has to physically upload their passport with the information page with the application. Its a new requirement. Therefore, if your ESTA has ran out you will have to do it with your next application.
Cheers
