hi trigger. thanks for your advice. i have been lucky enough to visit OBA so i got a feel for the school before i commit. EFT did come highly reccommended but they are full now untill mid to late october. i have issues with getting time off work so i have to go where there are available slots!
i saw the accomodation too. i will definatley get a car as i like my own independence and i dont fancy cycling in the heat. nice cool air con does it for me every time!
happy flying to you too!
