Excellent! May just catch you on your last night. If my dad and I go from Bournemouth we will arrive on 6 May. If we resort to Easyjet, it may well be a week earlier. I love it at that time of year when everywhere is just waking up for the season.

ratbag.... to quote a certain Eileen who posts on here. Don't get Sandy and Dad drunk - I want the privelege later in the season....

Seriously though, so glad for you. Make the most of it (ha ha - as if that needed saying...)

It would be lovely to see you and your dad again Sandy.  I agree there's something special about Arillas in April...could that be a song?


Thanks Phil, we'll certainly make the most of it, late breakfasts, early retsinas, gadding around, long chats, late nights...get the picture? (hee...hee...hee)

Thanks girls. 

My mum is 84 and Sandy's dad is 91(?) Do you think Sandy and I to still be going Arillas when we are their ages? Will our livers stand the pace?!!

I certainly hope so Eileen....I come from good stock in that department!! My dad was summoned to the geriatric clinic at his surgery a few years ago because he hadn't been to the doctor's for years....he was given the once over by a young doctor(blood pressure, diet etc) then they came on to alcohol consumption. My dad was asked how many units he drank each day....so he mentioned the sherry at lunch time, the G&T before dinner, the wine with dinner, and the brandy night cap. The poor doctor was horrified and pronounced that my dad would never reach a ripe old age if he carried on like that!!

That must have been about 5 years ago so he was 86 then......

you tell dad ,if our paths ever cross the 1st 7 star metaxa is on me .......yammas..xx

[Sandy x]

Sure will Kevin....but he actually prefers the 5*. He says the 7* is wasted on him.....I don't understand these things as I drink the real stuff....(retsina that is, not brandy)

Has anyone booked to go to Arillas, EARLY April?

We are going over on Mon 29th March - Fri 9th April. I didn't know it at the time of booking, but we will be there at Easter time, which is going to be really special. It's also our 27th wedding anniversary on the 2nd April, so it will be a double celebration - can't wait.
