I found out this morning that I can't travel to Arillas because of medical reasons. I was supposed to be going on Monday for a month. What can I say, I'm just stunned with sadness. A whole year dreaming of my visit to my paradise and now it's no more.
All you lovely people - have yourselves a wonderful time whenever you go.

Soooo sorry Karen. What a devastating blow. You will be sorely missed - not least by Jen and me. There is nothing we can say to comfort, knowing how we would feel in those circumstances. Just express our sadness at this turn of events which we fully understand leaves you heartbroken.
with love and hugs
Phil and Jen

Awwwww.......so sad for you Karen! We will live it up for you in August - I know it's not the same but I hope you feel better soon :) X
-
Oh no Karen! Feel so sorry for you but you must make your health your number 1 priority. Arillas will be there waiting for you xx
-
Oh Karen we so sorry to hear you are unable to travel. You must be heart broken, we know how much being in Arillas means to you
We are going to miss you especially on our get together.
We hope that the cause of the cancelation of your trip can be sorted soon and you are able to get out to Arillas in the near future.
Your health must come first. Keep your chin up Arillas will be awaiting your return
We send our best wishes for a speedy recovery
Lots of Love Dot & John Xxx

i Know how you feel and am so sorry.we went for 1 month May last year and it was so pleasant,we should have gone again last October,but 1 week before we were due to travel Sally decided to break her ankle,which meant she could not fly,we were gutted.To make matters worse we had booked two weeks in Menorca for May this year,so by the time we get back to Arillas it will be getting on for 18 months.Roll around 30th Sept.
Hope you can get back to Arillas sometime and this is only a temporey blip(spelling may not be correct Viv and i went to the same spelling school lol)

Hi Karen,. I feel devastated for you. It is a blow to find out about any health problems at any time but the timing will add to your sadness. Sorry we won get to meet you. Take care and try to stay positive.
-
Such kind words, thank you everyone. Go and have a ball and, if you can, would you take lots of pictures? It'll help with the countdown to 'Cypress in paradise 2017' :-)
-
oh no :-( So very sorry to hear you can't go on holiday. It must be especially hard when it was to be for an extended period too.
I hope your health issues are soon resolved or controlled and you can plan your next visit.
-
Just seen this post, not been on here in a while, am sorry to hear you will not get your trip this year, a lot of us on here have been in your situation so know how you feel! Rest up, follow doctor's orders and I hope you are better soon.
Arillas will welcome you with the biggest hug your soul will ever receive when you get well!
-
Thanks Cheryl and everyone who's commented. I thought I was the only one it had happened to until Harold told us his story. It was terribly upsetting news at the time but I suppose it's best to be Arillas in when we feel well and we can enjoy it to the full. Nowt worse than being away from home when you're not so good.
-
Never did I think I'd have to post the same sorry tale again.
Due to fly this Sunday for 11 days in my paradise, then Wednesday night I herniated a disc in my cervical spine. so as I'm almost immobile I've had to cancel. Devastated isn't the word.
Those of you that will be there ..... have a wonderful time.
No fireflies! No Arillas! B@gger!
-
Karen - I am gobsmacked. Can't believe you can't go again. I am so sorry to hear this. Hoping you are up and about again soon and that you will be finally able to make it to Arillas once you are better. x
-
Karen we are so sorry to hear this news,
Second time, you must be devistated.
We were so looking forward to meeting up again. We will miss you not being there.
Hope you will be able to get out at a layer date ...you deserve it after being disapointed twice within 12
Wishing you all the best for a fast and speedy recovery and hope to catch you later in the
Love from Dot & John Xxx

Thanks Sonia. I might be able to sneak a week in later on this summer, we'll see. If I do I'll hope and pray it won't be jinxed again!
John & Dot. I am devastated, but I'll get my head around it ...eventually :-). I'm going to miss not seeing you both this year and I was so looking forward to playing a small part in your big celebration. I've got a card for you here. Have the most wonderful time in my paradise, enjoy every single minute. Which I already know you both will.
Arillas seems to be looking especially beautiful right now, any pictures you fancy taking will be appreciated? You know I love your pictures, I've pinched a few in my time :-) xxx

Have just seen this thread and can understand why you're so heartbroken. Karen and Harold - it happened to us too last August, just two days before we were due to leave for Arillas, Paul got ill and ended up in hospital. We were devastated. However, he improved but not time enough to go last year and still not well but we are booked for July (fingers crossed). Also, slightly off thread but I got taken ill in February and missed my granddaughter's wedding. That was heartbreak off the scale :( So, I can only hope this sort of luck doesn't come in threes!

Oh Karen so sad for you, how devastating, think if it wasn't for bad luck, you would have no luck at all! Rest up and keep hoping for a visit later in the year. You need a holiday so much, it will happen.
-
I think all of us who regularly keep up with the forum will know how totally devastated you must be Karen. I was so excited to hear about your return visit as I'm sure everyone was. Your health though must take priority and just the thought of July may just give you enough strength to get there and even better we go end of July so may just be able to help toast your return xx
-
So sorry to hear this Karen. What rotten luck....I know how much you were looking forward to it having missed out last year. You will be missed xx
-
Sorry Jen and I appear to be missing from the replies. I thought I had posted. As I read your post I shouted out to Jen (who was waddling back from the loo) about the terrible luck. Twice???? Ours was known in advance and feels terrible - no Arillas for a year. But yours is now two. I think we all understand how bad that is for you.
Our love and best wishes Karen. Sympathy is not enough....

Having just returned from two fabulous weeks Karen we know how you must be feeling, having to miss your time in Arillas yet again must be really heartbreaking for you but, your health comes first.
You WILL return very soon we hope.

I cannot believe your holiday is over and you are home already Val. I was looking for your Arillas today update. Not long til you go again though eh?
-
Home for a month and back for two weeks 15th June and hopefully two weeks September. We are lucky Sonia I know, but it's only because Bill has a good retirement pension.
Karen, Phil and Jen I will be thinking of you all and hopefully you will all book at the earliest opportunity when good health returns.

Thanks so much for your kind words everyone.
Ann, missing your granddaughters wedding must have been awful, I feel for you. That's an important life event that we don't get another chance at, at least Arillas will be there for my next visit.
Phil, Jen's waddling? Will you tell her I hope she's doing well and continuing to get Arillas fit? Love to you both x

Karen ...wish you were here with us.
Speaking to Bobby Bardis today and he sends his love and wishes you a speedy recovery.... he was sorry to hear this latest news especially following last year's set back
-
John, that's just brought a happy tear to my eye. If you happen to see Bobby again will you tell him thank you ..... and that the next time I come to Arillas, I'm staying there for good - then I can't get stuck here again, can I??!
Wish I was there with you both too xx
