Next year, MrsC will celebrate a milestone birthday. I couldn't possibly be so ungallant as to mention which, but 1970 was a quite exceptional year, don't you think?

I know she has always loved the idea of going to the Monaco Grand Prix (despite the tedious snooze-fest it almost always produces on the telly) and I also know that she would never in a month of Sundays spend the money on herself to go.

So, I would like - at the very least - to research the alternative ways of going there and watching the race, even if it turns out to be a non-starter. I'd look at a package or putting together a DIY job (I can still do the lingo, a bit).

Who has been and what would they say are the definite do's and don'ts?

Thanks everyone...
