Oh yesssssssss Booked for July 2008

[TerryW]

I'm sorry for taking up a new topic, but I am so excited. Just booked for the Horizon again for 2 weeks next year and flying out 30th June.

Its too long to wait though, I need this forum to survive. I hope you can all put up with me for the next 10 months.

Good Grief terryw!!!
                             You're keen.

We'll let them know you're coming, so they can prepare your room. 

[Eileen]

...and of course I will give myself a huge pat on the back as I smirk in smugness at the fact that it was I who gave you the final push into booking Arillas in the first place.    I take a bow

Seriously I think we all kinda gathered that you kinda fell in lurve with Arillas!

So get moving and set your tickertape countdown thingy.

P.S...there are just soooo many of us going over next month.....are you sure that you cannot join the September frenzy? 

[TerryW]

I'll have to give you a big pat on the back Eileen, and maybe a peck on the cheek.

Do you ever get worried that you could be helping to pass on a very contagious bug to people?

Thanks again x

Terry

BTW ...it was your sexy Scottish accent that really did the trick.

I wish we could book for next year, we are in the process of moving house, saving to go to Australia at the end of next year unless we can get a last minit cheapy I cant see us going to Arillas next year.  We sure wont be able to get into the Bardis it is almost fully booked up already.

[TerryW]

Awww Blondegirl - Do you mean I won't see any amazing dancing next year .

Tell Mike that you will need a holiday to recover from the house move.

I was really pleased with the price for our two weeks at the Horizon next July, £760 total for 2 weeks. I don't know of many more places where you could have a room that is just yards from a perfect beach, in a perfect village, with lovely honest people and also be able to eat healthy delicious food.....Paradise.

The only additional spending will be on car hire and food and drink.

well done terry, im flying out on 27th june staying out alexs on the the front so ill see there.im going with my wife and my muminlaw who is a arillas virgin.so looking foreward to it.... yammas

[TerryW]

That's great Kevin, we will look forward to seeing you.

I think I am going to compile a list of all the things that I need to do on the holiday. All the things that I think about everyday whilst at work.

I think I will start now and I can keep coming back to modify it, and hopefully I will get some suggestions (polite ones).

My dancing skills, ha ha ha!!!  will have probably have to be missed..will have to practise a few more steps for another time!  Perhaps Mike and I could be the entertainment for the evening....... now that would really be funny!  Nobody would turn up!  Perhaps come up with an Arillas dance... as long as its not an equivalent to the Birdy Song

[Shuey]

Terry - fulfill a dream in an olive grove.  What do you mean

[sharonF]

Hi Terry,

Read your list, if you go to Peroulades, you must go to Alexis Taverna on the road to Melitsa/Sidari.  We found it when we were in Sidari, went back when we stayed in Acharavi, and returned to it when we were in Arillas in July.  Delicious food.

We are hoping to go back next year around that time, so unless you can get out in sept this year, will see you then. xx

[TerryW]

Thanks Sharon - I will add the details to my list.

Shuey,

Its a secret shhhhhhh, but you may find the answer in another of my posts, or ask Eileen.

Oooops I think I am digging a hole for myself.

[Eileen]

Shuey...

Terry dreams of capers in the olive grove...thus there will be more olives on the ground than you could shake a stick at

Eileenx

[TerryW]

Damn,

Eileen has let my secret out. Yes I will be on my knees looking for capers (Capparis rupestris) in the olive groves. I am told that they go very well with a nice Stifardo.

[Shuey]

Oh er!!... Capers very nice with skate!
