Going Independent

[Ang]

GazCaz £300 is mulcho money for anyone these days and a saving not to be sniffed at.
Just think of the few days enjoyment you will get from that saving and at the end of the day your money will be spent in Arillas.

As long as we all keep going to Arillas, Keith, and we DON'T stop meeting like this (lol) - that's an important part!

In principle we prefer to book independently and give the locals more of our money than travel companies.  Yet we have still ended up booking packages at times because it was the difference of that or not going at all.

Incidentally Kevin, we booked a 2 bed appartment at the Rainbow with Thomas Cook for 14 days at £750, so that's a bit cheaper than you are quoting for them.  Agree with your reasoning though, and will look into all options next time...

Janis, we also eat out all the time we are there, so that has to help more businesses.  I think poor Eggy got a bit exasperated with me turning down the offer of free courgettes, because it would have meant cooking them, and I was on holiday!!

Going independent next june for first time........guess where ? you got it KALOUDIS...Roulas private apts....they are brill. We had one for a holding room when we left this week...so booked it for next june. Will try to put some pics on...

Obviously a package isn't an option for us. Normally we fly from Gatwick and over recent years with Easyjet even though we are much closer to Bristol.

This year Amanda and Pete booked the flights while I was tied up with work. They saved £500 on flights on our party of 7 flying from Bristol this year.

We don't normally fly out in July. It was an eye opener!

After much ummming and rrrring about where to put our heads down we decided on Bardis Sun Studios.
All booked in with Poppy, Spiros, Bobby and George from 28th May 2012 for 2 weeks. Taxi also arranged.
Incidentally will be on the inaugaral bmibaby flight from East Mids to Corfu. Only about 331 days to go.

[Janis]

You're staying at Poppy's??  WONDERFUL!!  Poppy, Spiros, Bobby and Katerina, and George are such wonderful people... We don't stay there but we ALWAYS, ALWAYS, call in to see them. In fact, I think we introduced you to them? You'd eaten at Vavilas and we'd eaten at Eleni's...  You'd recommended Eleni's to us, because someone had recommended it to you, then - on the way back from Vavilas - you saw us there, joined us, and the people who'd recommended it were on the next table to us!

Happy Days!

Enjoy, Alan and Jan - they are wonderful hosts - and we'll pop in there many times to see them

Love, Janis and Barry x x

PS If you have 331 days to go, and you posted yesterday, we have 324 days to go and we'll be there, waiting for you....

PPS Barry's cousin and her husband will be visiting Arillas for the first time in May, so we'll be bringing them to meet Poppy and family, and also Alan and Jan...  (Carol and Dave will be flying from Robin Hood airport..)

[Alan and Jan]

Spot on Janis with your introductions. We reckon it will be a different holiday staying at the other end of Arillas.
