I did reply to your above comments but it did not seem register any where, be careful someone might be watching :roll: :roll:

Someone is always watching. The point stands even if first time round my choice of words were way off the mark.

I've never really experienced much of tourist Turkey as the flotilla is totally off the beaten track. The whole flotilla had an evening in Fethiye though which I enjoyed very much.


Tony, I'm beating myself up about those Riu hotels. We want a holiday with lots of activity and the small ones don't have it but I've never been to a big hotel like that before. I'm very tempted by the bearable temperature, sea and white sand though. I suppose it depends if we can get a deal that can't be turned down.

sounds wonderful :thumbup:

Just had some friends come back with as near as dam it no experience at sailing and they had agreat time.

Have a look at Turkey too. One of the best holidays we've ever had was a flotilla with Sunsail - every day jumping off the boat to wake you up, breakfast in a restaurant that you can only reach by boat, set sail and off to the next one.

Truly incredible.

We've just got a new computer and the photos aren't on here yet but I'll try and post a few once we've got ourselves sorted.



I still don't know where or when we're going in August! Possibly on a boat if we can get a good deal... Anyone been to Cape Verde?

have you got any more pictures of the Burj Dubai, Pablo? My youngest is totally fascinated by it and is going to go mental when he sees your pic. (I think / hope he's going to be an architect...)

what news Tino?
hope you're ok

24 of us booked to go to Arabba in March. Still considering other options like Obergurgl at the end of November (if it's open?) for four nights and/or somewhere for new year...

Hi guys, it's been a while. A couple of reasons, I've been busy cavorting and also, more importantly, the fact that I was on a bit of a downer about my skiing after Tignes. Having now visited the snow centre in Hemel I can confirm that the passion is reignited!

Nice photos Tony. We're winging it this year. We've got three weeks in August booked off work and will wait until as late as poss to try and grab something last minute. I love planning, I love being spontaneous but I can confirm that I hate planning to be spontaneous!

I've also got a weekend in Brussels in October with the girls to celebrate my 40th. I don't like all the whispering going on I can tell you!

I'm excited though :D
