We're off to Arillas next Friday! Can hardly wait... Anyone else going next week?
Im glad youre looking forward to your holiday, i love that excited feeling just a week before you go!
Im sure there are a few people going around the same time as you, im sure they will post.
Have a fab holiday and dont forget to report back once youre home!
Hi We go on Monday and getting really excited now.
Just got the cases down and starting to pack toiletries etc.
Cleaning the house like a crazy woman . Why do I always do it? As I always come back to have to do it all again. Think I have got a bit of OCD !!!!!!!!
Pauline x
I feel myself getting really excited for you too,a bit weird seeing as i'm not going til september.
I'm excited too, We go on Monday too Pauline, looking forward to seeing you both again.
OCD must be contagious because I'm cleaning the house like mad too.
See you soon.
Love Janina
We fly out on Monday too .. We are staying at the Marvel ..
Ann & Rick
Perhaps I ought to start cleaning the house now! We dont go for two weeks! LOL
Hope you have a great time, Janina, look forward to reading your posts when you get back!
Hi Blondgirl
We go three weeks today.
Watch out for us, we have an eight year old daughter who is her dad's spitting image so you just might recognise the three of us. We eat at Thalassa quite a lot. I will look out for you.
Amanda
Gr8!!!! :)
We will be there on 18th june. Starting to get excited now, but we have a hectic couple of weekends. (typical, nothing to do for months, and then everyone wants us to go out in june!!) Also, got my sisters wedding on 13th july, and we only return home on 10th!! I think I will be frightened to eat when I'm in arillas... (I suppose that means i'll have to survive on liquid!)lol
Hi everyone - I am doing my usual silly stopover - flying to Gatwick this afternoon, then flying to Corfu tomorrow morning. I am taking a friend with me this year - avoids the single supplement! Can't wait. take care. Amanda
I'm getting excited about my next trip... 05 May 2008!
Hi bud ...John I think ..you wer at the rainbow with kevinn ? eileen..(we called in the day kevin was leaving)c u are hooked and returning next May...prob see you there
kes...
We are back September this year usally October, thought we would go early this year but its going to seem really horrable in October when we feel that we should be there and we arn't, still we have done 3 trips over to Arillas this year and we get excited every time. It seems more like going home then coming back here. Viv
Cant see any point in cleaning house as 19 year old is staying behind to look after our dogs. Just hope I can still relax and not worry about what is or isnt happening at home. Look forward to seeing you all. Who will be on our flight? 18th June from Gatwick at 8.30 am.
6 sleeps Lisa (including tonight), mind you I never really sleep the night before we leave anyway. Then we will see you the following week... cant tell you how much we are looking forward to getting away! When I see the sun out here I get all excited thinking about our holiday. I just had to log in now to get away from the cookie jar !!! LOL
ten sleeps until we leave Shetland. Spend the weekend with relatives and on to Arillas on monday night. looking forward to catching up with you all. Left it too late to stay away from the cookie jar, wobbly bits here I come ....Brenda.
Really looking forward to seeing you all again. We will have to walk to the Galini for a drink with you and sample the hospitality. I expect Hannah has grown a bit during the last year. Take care eveyone. See you in Arillas.
Our first lunch was at the Galini!! We stayed at the Kaloudis, walked along the sea front then did the circular tour of Arillas and had an omelette for lunch there. I think your first lunch on holiday is always important - you sit at the bar, have a Mythos and some food, and think "Hurray - we're on holiday"!!
I'm so jealous of everyone who's due to go - we came back on Friday 8th June after an absolutely FABULOUS two weeks in Arillas (6 evenings of which were spent sampling the wonderful food at BROUKLIS!!)
Can't wait to go back again ...........
Our first lunch last year was at the Brouklis, introduced ourselves to Dimitris (it was our first visit), he remembered me which was nice because he had given me some help with the technical stuff.
Yes, I wondered about Hannah too.. she will have grown quite a bit from last year. Looking forward to seeing you all, and the grandmas - please give our love to them! It will be great to meet up at the Galini, that will shock Kostas. He will probably moan that we arent staying at his place... ;)
Only four sleeps till we go to Gatwick. Spending the night at the travel lodge as is an early flight. Cant wait. Only this morning and tomorrow afternoon to do at work then I am finished.
Morning all
16 sleeps to go for us. Can't wait.
Amanda
Stop it now all of you, its just not fair!!
I want to be going again haha :-D !!
Now Now Smiffy
You are just getting greedy, what with Arillas, George Michael, Mexico and Christmas still to come (ok, I shouldn't have mentioned Christmas just yet)
Amanda
God thats only 5 and half months away, how depressing is that!!
I know, i am just being greedy, but if i could get back there this year i would, still what with Mexico, theres always next year!
I'm going August can't wait we've had a bad few months and I'mjust recovering from a hysterectomy so three weeks in Arillas should sort me out.
Hello Sheila,
Sorry to hear that you've had a bad time of it lately.
3 weeks in Arillas will be just what the doctor ordered :-)
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Eileenxxx
hope that you recover well and enjoy your recuperation in Arillas Sheila. We will be there in August........20th for 11 nights.

Thanks everyone for your good wishes. Cant wait to meet up with the Galini gang again.
Well, Steve and Lisa should just be taking off now, I think I just heard their plane leave...( we live near Gatwick!) LOL.
This time next week we should be doing the same, buckling our seat belts up and leaving the runway.... if the flights on time we should be! You can tell I am excited now cant you?
Yes i reckon we can tell youre excited Sue, 1 week to go how fab!!!
We also fly out next week, on Friday.

Hi
I am so excited too. I am off to Arillas for the first time on Monday 25th. Have been to Greece before am really looking forward to it. I am pleased I am not the only one. Has anybody stayed or know of the Arillas Bay appartments are they ok and is the pool nice.
Nikki
Hi Nikki and welcome to the forum,
Im sure you will have a fantastic time in Arillas, i can gurantee it!
Ive not stayed at the Arillas Bay but im sure someone who has will reply soon.
Make sure you tell us all about your time in Arillas on your return, we all look forward to reading peoples views and holiday experiences.
Have a fab holiday :-) !
Hi Nikki, wecome to the forum. We have stayed at Arillas Bay twice. We were in the 2 bedroom apartments and they are very nice and roomy, the thing we liked most about them is that the balcony goes all the way round the building so from morning tell night you can either be in the sun or the shade. They linen and towels were clean and changed, the only little grumble we had is that the cleaner, bless her seemed to think the rooms were round and the sand sort of got swept into the corners, but nothing to worry abour. The poll is smashing and plenty of sunbeds. Sure you will enjoy it. Viv
Hi everyone long time since i spoke on here! Forgot my password!!! lol
Iv got 14 sleeps til i go Arillas cant wait, two weeks of sun sea Sprios and Costas and Ouzo!! YAY!!!!
Hope everybody who is goin soon has a amazing holiday and please would you report back as iv heard the pizza place is closed and i loved it there!!!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

enjoy your hols, maybe see you there!!!
Thanx Amanda.
Thats abit poo isnt it, they gave me lots of free wine last year and tried to learn me more greek. Bless them. Oh well will have to try more taverns this year i think.
Hi Gemmalou
Luckily for us just about all the tavernas in Arillas are great and the people are so welcoming so I don't think you can go wrong, whichever you pick.
Amanda
Well! My bags are packed, I'm ready to go! You can probably think of the tune to go with that...
This will be my last posting for two weeks. Just got to do the last bit of hoovering etc. before we go... Hopefully might get an early night but I dont think that will happen, much too excited. We have a taxi to the airport and meeting Lynda there for 5.30 a.m. Our flights not until 8.30 but we like to get there early.. Then Mike can have his first breakfast!
Will be in touch when we get back, if I can I will post something over the next fortnight.
Take care all and be good. Dont post too much as I wont be able to catch up ;)
Sue,Mike and Lynda xx
Hope I'm not too late to wish you all a superb holiday, Sue!
