NEED INFO ON MAGADAN PLEASE ANY FLIGHTS OUT OR INTO THE PLACE.
More interested in electrical gadgets? Us? And YOU'RE the one complaining, after ONE hour, because no one has answered a question about something as extraordinary as flight and freight information out of Magadan??! It sounds to me like your expectations are completely in sync with the "Have mobile phone, have internet, have email, have SMS, have landline, have fax, HAVE TO HAVE INFORMATION NOW" society that so many live in! http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...ies/smile3.gif


Patience man, patience!

Kind regards

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
