Going to Lanzarote

We were so pissed off after our hols this year, that 3 days aftercoming home, we booked 2 weeks in Playa Blanca next August. Got ( what seems to be ) a lovely 2 bed villa with private pool and air con for £780. Elle lives near there so I might meet up with her at some stage. Will return to Tenerife only if we can get our old apartment in the Balcon de Los Gigantes,or if someone here can recommend another place. Might even try PdlA or Los Cris in future because I was very impressed with how clean and tidy it was ( compared to 15 years ago).

Give our end a try Dermo we need to meet.

Not surprised you chose somewhere else D. The airlines are taking the piss at the moment, I just wanna rent the seat for 4 hours not buy the friggin thing. Seeing as Richard Bransons lost half his trainset maybe he might consider some Canarian routes for a change. VirginEurope innit. Give that O'Leary a run for his money. Employ trolley dollies with English as a first language and a smile......

Good idea Vince. I'll write to Richard asking him to open a few new routes. O'Leary has launched a bid for Aer Lingus over here. It seems he wants their trans Atlantic slots from Heathrow. We could soon have a Ryanair Atlantic. Wonder how much he'll charge for baggage then?????

Cunnilingus they got it licked.

I heard a rumour you once fell at Chio Mary.

Is she? Thats another member I won't end up meeting then ( missed Gypsy in July even though we were both in the same bar)

Been to Lanzarote 3 times love it all low rise keeps it charm. Always cheaper than TFS as well you'll enjoy it 3rd!

Thanks Blyth, was there in 1999. Most relaxing holiday I ever had ( no kids then). Looking forward to it. Playa Blanca and the Rubicon Marina are meant to be stunning.

Very cheap when I went, we booked flights and accommodation separate and the airline went bust. Paid it on credit card who refunded the whole lot but the accommodation still stood, so just booked new flights, thus accommodation ended up free.

We are going back in September went last year for first time in 20 years thought it was great lots of good live entertainment and a lovely apartment from an my Irish cousin just off the Strip in Puerto Del Carmen, good place to go out biking in the morning you can go for miles on the flat

I'm going to have to delve into my family tree and see if I have any cousins with apartments in the Canarys...

Ecky & Marbro have lots of  cousins  and I have two or three although one inconsiderate cousin sold her apartment recently without even consulting the family

Family are a pain in the arse, I try to avoid them

Nae lang noo till we ruin everyone's holidays in Lanzarote when we bring a week o cloudy weather with us, we are famed for getting crap weather 

We took our family to Costa Calero for our 50th wedding anniversary last xmas , it was the coldest we have ever experienced in the Canaries ever, my eldest daughter had her fleece on all week

Over the last few years I have had some really bad experiences in Tenerife with weather, especially about 4 years ago I think at New Year time it was cold / wet and cauld we almost came home early, thats why we are trying a wee bit earlier in the year, people used to post on TF asking when I was going over so they could avoid my dates

We used to stay in GDS for 6-8 weeks every january but it was getting so cold and windy we changed to 3-4 weeks in Los Cristianos instead , this year was very cold for quite a few days during our stay , cold I can get here anytime.

One more sleep

The sand is normal colour there. Enjoy, you will have plenty of elbow room for swinging a pint..

Lovely 32degs with a nice wee breeze just heading for a cold one or two or three then some grub been a long day 

Enjoy AJ!
