I think it just took a while because of the server it's on now ... It's on a subdomain of my work's site and the site is usually very busy ... because the whole website is 154kb (with images) ... On the previous page I gave a link to a new layout ... did you have a look at that one aswell?

Thank looks alot better! But I would still add some bgcolor to keep it from looking too plain. Also you might want to create margins for the body text to keep it from going to the edge of the div. And you might want to make the div longer, because as it is I think it is too short that can simply be fixed with a couple <p> &nbsp; </p>.

And on the other pages, where you have the pitch black "boxes" of text, you might want to change the color slightly, maybe to the color of gray used in the stripe on the background image, just to add definition from the background.

I'm rather glad you chose this route instead of the background image, because I think it might be a bit much to download.

Good luck.

At first I didn't like the centered text, but it grew on me.

Who is the target audience? Will they know what the exchange rate is? Maybe put a link under Costs?

Under Accomodations, it says, "Wives or families are welcome", implying that women can't be pilots. May want to change that to "Spouses".

Feel free to ignore this point, but you're saying "Copyright Copyright 2007" in your footer... Yeah, I annoy my wife when I correct her when she says "PIN Number" (Personal Identification Number Number).

It's be awesome if you had some more banner pics in series. Then each page has a unique banner pic that would simulate the plane "flying" from left to right.

I'll try that and see what it looks like ... It sounds like it'll work ...

That's an excellent idea ... Nice one ... I'll put a link there to a foreign exchange site, and see if I can pass along some variables to show the "Rand" to whatever exchange rate

Well actually women can be pilots there ... my mother is a pilot there, she's almost got her instructors licence ... but good point none the less

That sounds so cool, gotta try it ... Nice suggestion ...

@murcielagossi ... thank you for the design ideas ... Awesome stuff
@kakarotmf ... I tend to usually focus more on the design part of the sites I do, so thank you for pointing some content related things out to me ...
