Will be back again October 5th 2009
Have been away too long
Well we got back on 20th July and from then on we have been Home Sick
So we will be back home soon
My Sister and her husband will be with us this time (first time for them) and they are as excited as us
WE CANT WAIT
I'm sure they will LOVE it John. I was there at that time last year and the weather was fantastic.....I hope you will be as lucky this year.
Hi, John and Dot. Have a great time in October. We agree, one visit a year is not enough. Next time we book, it will be for three weeks, I think.
Two months since we were there, where does time go???
Yammas Paul D
I can only say one thing. RATBAG!!!
We're not jealous. We're cool. Er well, no. Jen and me are really struggling not to be but we are. RATBAG!!!
But another visit might be on the cards for us in October Half Term. Everything will be closed (like the dog Anna - yes please - will send yous a text) but we've done it before. Please keep your fingers crossed for PhilandJen.
Finger`s crossed already.
Phil
Thanks for the warm heartfelt feelings (I know that RATBAG is a tearm of Endearment) from you.
Fingers Crossed for you and Jen, wish you could be with us
Arillas means so much to you and that you miss every second when you are not there
Sandy
I know we will be as Lucky whatever the Weather
Paul
Second year running we have done it twice
Lindy
Keep those fingers crossed for Phil lets hope he can get there
Aye, he will do John. A man on a mission.
The Rainbow will be open in the last week of October phil. Jimmy and Spiros stay there till the last plane leaves.
I know Sandy luvver. You are just like me, and Jen too really. Our every waking moment is full of Arillas and all it gives. But if we were like Eggy and there all the time it would be better for us. We don't do "holidays" any more. And like John and Dot, our love for our second home is overwhelming.
Life can be such a bitch. But you just have to get yourself up, dust yourself down and b****y get on with it. But sat on my bench (OK, yours too) I can start to cope with it all.
loads of love
Phil
John and Dot, you will love the Akti, give Spiros and Monica a hug from me please.
Phil am sure you will make it in October, where theres a will, theres a way!
Know what you mean about sitting looking out on that bench, makes everything okay doesnt it, need to be on that right now.

Hope they love it as much as you John and Dot.
What you gonna do if they don't? Remember don't pressure them when they first arrive.....Well. Well do you like it ..do ya ..do ya? Let them get used to it a bit, afterall a LOT of people have said their initial reaction was "Ok but is this all there is?"
When they have had a little stroll along the front and out on the jetty things will be more appealing. A sit in the shade with a Mythos and they will begin to relax. In two days they will know they have found somewhere very special.
Tell you what John if they don't like it, we'll come with you next year. Families huh !!!
Have a good time both
Cheers Nan xx
John the ref, we are in the akti again 25t sept to 9th oct, our 2nd two week hol this year. Have done 2weeks twice a year for the past few years. we love the akti and wont stay anywhere else. Look foward to meeting you there.
Tony n Glenda
Good to know we will be in the company of other forum members
This is our second visit this year, (5th time) please say hello
Wont recognise you as you do not have a picture on the forum
You can't miss us Just look out for a couple Laid Back and Relaxed, who have two Arillas virgins in tow (wont take long for them to become laid back and relaxed either)
John the ref.We haven't put a photo on yet cos we havent figured out how to do it yet! I'm sure you'll spot us ok. Tony is a baldy and uses a walking stick.
I'm sure to pick you out from the crowd
looking forward to meetimg you
Ten days to go and we are so looking forward to getting back home again.
On our last visit (June) I had just been given notice of a 90 day consultation period at work.
Things have been up in the air for the last few months but we still decided that a week in October was the only thing for us to do before the winter set in.
The consultation period has now ended and today I was told................................
..................................................... That I would still have a job to come back to....
......... All well that ends well. Looking forward now to booking next summer's Holidays
Arillas here we come again.
Good news John....have a great time.....with more to come next year!
Great news John, i will have a drink on that right now......he he started long ago..
riggers...
That is great news John, so pleased for you. Yes, I'll have a drink on that too.....

See you all there! I'll have my Arillas Addict shirt on! Martin.
Martin
And....hopefully some trousers or shorts or even , perish the thought, some speedos.
See y'all soon!
Negg
Very good Neil! I see where you are coming from I would create a bit of a stir in sleepy 'ol Arillas, wouldn't I, no hat, shorts to match!
See you soon, maybe check the quality of the ouzo and the temperature of the Mythos!
Yammas,
Martin
Enjoy all the banter Martin. Get Dimitris to post another pic of you enjoying yourself - we all loved the last one! And remind our Eggy we are watching his every move.....
Jen and me so wish we could be with yous all. Take care of our John and Dot. I'm sure Monica and Spiros will at the Akti, but we want them in one piece for next July!!!
Phil
Great news, John - enjoy your hols now and relax x
Excellent news! Just lean banck and enjoy ref and Dot :)

Jen and me so wish we could be with yous all. Phil
Reckon you can Phil - Not impossible.
I calculate that if you and Jen both bought your "quota" of cigs here (64 packs) you would save £224 on the UK prices. Two 15kg suitcases and travel light out then "heavy" back.
Any last minute deal out the for £100 each.?
And.... whether you were in the UK or Arillas you would still need to eat n drink so not much extra outlay there. John R and Dot , Riggers, Martin W. Get packing matey!
John
Good news on yer job and must have prepared you now for a stress free break.
Martin
What a good idea to get you on pic of the day! - Hmmmmm!
Cheers
Negg
Hi John and Dot. Bet that`s a weight off your shoulders. Now time to relax big-time. Hope to make it next year possibly Sep-Oct after our trip to the States.
ENJOY!!!!
Paul and Heather
I'll just add to what everyone else has said - thats wonderful news & now you can relax & enjoy your holiday even more knowing that you have your job to come back to, so that you can save for next years holiday!!. Arillas awaits you & Dot..................
Sara
Great news John, see you in Arillas. Viv
Great news John! See you in Arillas. We must have a drink to celebrate!
Yammas,
Martin.

PhilandJen
