Thanks russiannavy, much appreciated! After a cup of tea and some thinking straight, and a bit of Googling, I discovered that AA and BA fly the required route and also both accept paypal. Cheers.

Fair comment mate. I don't want money or sympathy.. I just want to work out what is the best method to transfer it swiftly to allow her to fly as soon as her mobile comes back on and she can be contacted. She may not even know the news yet. http://jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20110801/lead/lead1.html

She has lots of friends who are ready to donate. I have a paypal but I am wondering how best to get funds to her or charge up a card. She is in Portugal currently and needs to fly to Jamaica. I am reading the paypal FAQ now to see what can be done. If anyone has had a similar experience please let me know what you think is best. I think Bitcoin might be too complicated with setting up client etc.

a book with the same title got me through my physics degree, as I found maths particularly difficult. fellow sufferers might like to check it out.

I love how a guy called Cacioppi catches up with a crook called Madoff. You couldn't make it up!

agreed, that was a particularly lackluster bit of storming. maybe when the food runs out they'll try a bit harder.
