Hi, Angela.  Good news about your September trip.  You`ll be just up the road from us.  We`re at Kaloudis from 30 August. Hope we bump into you.

              Yammas, Paul

Angela we are going in July just the two of us. No kids. Will really miss them not being there but so looking forward to it!!!

Well done Angela....you didn't waste much time....   

[Angela66]

Lol, thanks for responding everyone

We laid our cards on the table this morning, so to speak, both thinking there may bea future for us but both agreeing to stay just friends for at least the next 12 months.  Neither of us want to spoil things by rushing things.  I will be wearing wincyette from neck to ankle for our week in September.  Nonetheless I am really excited about our week away; my first holiday without children in all that time and an adult to talk to over a lengthy meal.  Such bliss - I won't know what to do with myself!

Thanks everyone for your comments and for putting up with my drivel . It will be lovely to see some of you out there.

Angela, you have done the right thing......but wincyette nooooo. You would terrify the life out of him. Just be yourself, don't let him think that he has gone on holiday with his great granny.

You will love the Mathraki, e-mail Nic and Akis the week before you go and ask for the top floor, sunsets to die for. We love room 9 it's on the end with unrestricted views.
 The rooms are typically Greek.....basic, with a small bathroom but very clean with a kitchen fully equipped with everything you might need and two ring oven/grill. No hair drier so take your own.
Nice and quiet, no children and a lovely pool and bar.
Buy your water and milk at the bar, the supermarket opposite is the only place in Arillas that you will be overcharged.

I have never yet heard of anyone who has been able to resist the romance that Arillas creates, whatever they said before. And wincyette is an impossibilty in September anyway - far too hot!!

Great tips Val, thank you.  I did have a laugh at the thought of wincyette on the beach as it happens - such an image to conjure up!  I have already planned some things to do - these being things that I cannot talk Livi into doing when we are there in July August:

Visit
Afionas and eat drink at Anemos and the Night Owl
Skinny dipping
Eat lengthy meals with plenty of wine and then finish off with ouzo shot (not that I would want Livi doing this one anyway at 13 yrs!)
Have a snooze after lunch, by the pool
Karaoke or similar
Sit on the bench and watch the sunset
Lots of snorkelling (she does this but only in small doses)
Kayaking (again she does this a little but gets bored quickly)

If anyone else thinks of any adult type activities (keep it clean please, lol), the feel free to suggest

[Angela66]

I know Phil, it may well be a case of good intent but ... Lol.

Still, the intentions are good.

I wonder if you can still buy wincyette anyway?

Bingo at Rainbow with Eggy calling the numbers
Quiz at Kaloudis and win the trip to Sidari
Dance to Neil Diamond in the Nut
Watch Mama Mia in the Nut whilst sympathising with Sammy
Celebrate a birthday in Armourada with one of Verena's cakes
Go shopping at Yiota's
Bingo or quiz at Bardis Sun Studios (Poppy's Bar)
Greek Night at Marina ......

So many possibilities. So little time. Should I go on?

[Val n Bill]

Find out when you can visit the brewery, even if you don't drink their beer, it's a short walk up the hill from Mathraki.
Spend all evening in the restaurant of your choice, pre dinner drinks, after dinner drinks and then order another carafe of wine just because you can!
Stroll back up the (small) hill and stand on your balcony watching the moon move over the sea.
Oh, and don't forget to try one of Nic's big breakfasts the next morning.

Skinny dipping and remaining just good friends for a year may just not go together....

[Angela66]

thanks for the tips Val and Phil.
Sandy - you may well be right, lol.  However, my body is not quite what it was at 21 but having said that I watched Shirley Valentine again a few weeks ago, so who knows (we have the reference in the Arillas Song to blame for me watching it after all these years, but I am very glad I did as it was great).

Anyway, we both travel a fair bit with work and it looks like he is off to India from July until the holiday so at least that will slow things down, probably out there for a year or so (with time off for good behaviour of course).  however, for the romantics out there, I will also be out in India intermittently, on business (engineering) so we will try and meet up at one of the 'hubs'; delhi, or chennai even. 

'Tis all good stuff
