A big thank you
« on: September 23, 2008, 06:29:25 PM »
May I through the forum thank a few people who helped us in Arillas when we heard about XL going bust. Dimitris for checking the C.A.A. website to keep us updated on any flight details and Eleni and Spiros of Irene's Villas for their kind offer to extend our stay, at no cost if we had problems getting home. Eleni even went to the airport to confirm our rearranged flight time and Spiros came to the airport to see us before we went. These lovely people and many others make Arillas so special. Thank you all.

That is so lovely and thoughtful of the people of Arillas, it proves how warm and genuine they are. Not very good of XL tjhough , one of my work colleagues was left stranded in Rhodes  for 20 hours and he only got his case back last night! and I have been told that XL were taking bookings two hours before they announced they'd gone bust. I met you briefly when I was with Jen and Phil, and glad you  had a lovely holiday.

Take Care

So glad you got back safely Paul & it wasn't as stressful as it could have been - having said that, it can't have been very nice for you at all, but like Mary said, it just goes to show the kindness & generosity of the people of Arillas & what a magicial & special place it is :-)

Thanks Mary, yes meeting you was a bit brief but it was nice to put a face to the name. Did see you about a couple of times but the opportunity didn't arise for a chat, never mind try next year maybe.
BeckyB,
Thanks for your kind words, there is something special about the people of Arillas, that's what draws us back each year.

Hi Paul
the trouble with me is often I don't have my glasses on, only supposed to wear them for reading, but my eyesight is getting a little worse, so I'm sure often I'm not recognising people too. So my aplogies if I have walked passed people and not realised they are forum members, then later thinkining ah yes, should have said Hello, Next year hopefully though.

Take Care

Mary

Mary,
With your eyesight and my hearing we make a fine pair, no wonder we were like ships that pass in the night.
Paul
