Mummydreamer - She did look into it. BUT She would have had to cancel her flight (no refund) & pay again for another seat on a plane that leaves 5.30 pm tomorrow. The ticket for that one way flight was only a little bit less then what she paid for her return ticket. Plus she only had this week off work (which she took with out pay). She was going to do it but I told her its too big a gamble & she best save it for the next trip they have planned up here in June.
fair enough, but bummer she must be a bit upset. ah well, the wonders of modern technology, she can see a squillion photos of her little grandboy before June

hopefully once you start 'relaxing' the contractions will kick in a bit more.....
