Flying to Dubrovnik then sailing to Venice and Trieste. A couple of other stops and then on to Dubrovnik where we stay in a hotel for a week.. Never been to that part of the world before (have been to Venice many years ago, on a day trip, but that's another story). :laugh: Something different.

I'm quite envious of your upcoming cruise, the only place that you have mentioned that I have been to is Venice and I loved the atmosphere there, the only cruise that I have been on was a short six day one from Cyprus to Egypt and Israel and that was during the Gulf War!! Eric's idea of a cruise these days is sail up the Clyde on a Calmac Ferry. :D

Sun Sol has mixed review on Tripadvisor but Sunset Harbour has very good reviews so based on that alone I'd got for the latter. Just looked at the map and we actually looked at an apartment there when we bought but that was 17 years ago now so cant recall what it was like but always looks clean and tidy when we walk up the ramp to the side of it.

8 weeks til we are back.

This time I have booked a private owned apartment and Ryanair flights. Apartment is 2 bed, full kitchen, communal pool & was £372 for the week, Ryanaire flights are around £140pp at the moment. Whole holiday (flights & accommodation) for 2 adults and 3 children (youngest is under 1yr) came in at just under £1k :D

I found one via tripadvisor, it's Las Plataneras, Sur y Sol (Los Cristianos). It was a similar price doing it this way as booking the Tenerife Sur/Christian Sur & flights (via on the beach). We stayed in the Christian Sur in May 2014 and while it was nice & I liked the apartment we got, I felt we got lucky. The other bonus to booking the Sur y Sol apartment was it has a full kitchen including washing machine and has sky TV in the living room (handy as we are traveling with a baby, a teenager & pre-teen).

I'm not sure when you are wanting to go but On The Beach has flights for around £140 return at the moment going in May/June.

Only 21 Days to wait and then it's a month of sunshine.

The only drawback is that Marbro8 and AngusJim will be there at the same time, I'm not sure that my wallet will stand another prolonged attack, plus Carol's liver will be under threat with the amount of Cava that she and LindD consume! :D

Every year we say right , next year we will come for longer at a time but it never happens . I dont know what mind set you would need to get into ,
you cant be in holiday mode for a month , for a start our livers wouldnt be able to cope with it , I am joking , well , maybe a wee bit .
It would certainly be a lot cheaper than all the airfares we pay for at least 4 or 5 times a year. We have never been able to find a nice comfy apt. to rent
as the usual tourist ones would be impossible to live in for a month , certainly no home comforts in any of the ones that we have stayed in.
It all boils down to the fact as it gets nearer the end of the 2 weeks , we cant wait to get home BUT within a month want back again .
We wont be coming in the summer this year , I found the heat too hard to cope with last year , there was no let up and Tenerife must have the worst air con
in the world .We will do what we did last year and have 2 weeks in Corfu next month , I had forgotten what a beautiful welcoming place Greece was , we loved it last year .

Is it still a 6 am flight Ecky Thump? If it is at least you'll be settled in, fed and watered by lunchtime :wave:
When we arrive a couple of days after you, it's just about bedtime - Ovaltine, jammies and bed :zzz:

Yes Linda, it's still a early flight out of Prestwick which suits us fine as we are only a forty five minute drive from the airport. Ryanair in their Wisdom changed the timing of our return flights from 11:40 to 06:40, they gave us the option to cancel and get a full refund, which we did and rebooked to the Sunday flights with a return departure flight of 11:40.....the joy of finding that it saved me about £140 was overwhelming, but I'm sure that between you and Carol, with the all bottles of Cava consumed, it will also consume my savings!! :vodkamachine: :D

Last year was lovely around 23 deg. which suits me fine . You dont get the cloud that you seem to get all the time in Tenerife now .
We did have one day of torrential rain which would have made you feel right at home :cheeky:The night of the rain , the manager
told us not to worry about it as he would be running us back to our apt.
