I throw suitcases down and head out for a pint ...

[Sal]

Unpack - change into Tenerife gear, off to Spar for some essentials...................then chill! :sunbathe:

[warbey]

Answer is Go through Immigration and head to Carousel for Our Bags....:cheeky::cheeky:

at Our destination, We unpack and hang up Our Clothes, quick swill
and then go for food and a Drink

Been so many times We know exactly where to go.

[Bonnie1964]

Drop off our suitcases....change into shorts......go to Jags for something to eat and a cold beer:jumping:

[Santiago]

Unpack while OH goes and gets water and milk. Change into shorts and t-shirts and sit on the balcony with a nice cup of tea, and admire the view.

[Stephen Coope]

Get out of the airport for a cig lol

Some things never change!!! Having the luxury of most of my holiday clothes remaining in residence means unpacking is not a necessity.... :p

Make the bed up.
Years ago we arrived on a Sunday afternoon & went to Amigo's at Puerto Colon for a drink, lots of drinks later we just fell into bed. LOL. Made the bed up the next day.

First thing I do is always wait for the steps to be put next to the aircraft other wise it’s a very big drop. :jumping:

[chifleta]

depends what time it is, if it's during the day, I unpack suitcases and show OH and my son what bargains i've managed to buy in England, if it's night time I just jump into my lovely bed and groan blissfully.... tsk tsk minds out of the gutters people :sleeping: ... after visiting family in UK it's lovely to get my bed back :snore:

LOL i've been here 20 years, I don't think about bedclothes, just my lovely comfy bed hahaha, depending where I stay in UK sometimes I have to sleep on an airbed, and after the age of 15, sleeping on airbeds just isn't as much fun :neener:

Now you called me old, I don't know whether to say the first thing I actually normally do (before groaning in my bed) is have a lovely cup of tea (PG Tips) :ashamed:

[Malteser Monkey]

PG !! ??

Ooooo you only get an OOOOO with Typhoooo

First thing to do : drink a pint of Dorada staring at the sea or the Teide while planning for some trek around the island and finally relax swimming in the ocean or the pool. Then i had to find a good supermarket with good wine to buy some supplies (i'm french so this is a quite long step). Then enjoy these 3 short weeks with my wife and daughter. By the way what is the best theme park in Tenerife for a 6 yo girl in Tenerife ? I hope you can help.

[emmess]

Go to Mecadona in Cabo Blanco get the essentials put it in freezer head for the terrace waiting paitently !!

Well I do that too - only I do it a week before online (quite the excitement too), so.... unlock, dump the hand luggage, open the patio doors to see how big our tree has (over)grown :pray:, dig out the kids swimming gear, then if it's open go for a happy hour at Rosies and watch the front door for Mercadona bringing my order whilst watching the kids in the pool - lovely.

If she's good at swimming - Siam Park. Search on here, there are plenty of threads on it. If not, Las Aguillas Jungle Park (bit like a zoo) or Loro Park (much bigger animal park up in the North of the island) are good IMO. There are no 'theme parks' here with rollercoasters etc. Unless you count the waves on the beach :laugh: Enjoy your time!

Thank you emmess. Does she really need to be a good swimmer to enjoy Siam Park ? (She's learning swimming at the moment i can't be sure she can swim without bracers in july...). Anyway it's not the topic of this thread. I'll have a look on Siam Park web site and other topics about. Thanks.

[emmess]

I should have said "not afraid of water" - they have armbands for some of the rides. You might want to check the height restrictions on some of the rides but I'm sure she'll have a wonderful time in Lost City on it's own. She'll also be able to go on the lazy river, Mekong Rapids and probably Naga Racer - my daughter loved all of those when she was 6.

[TenerifeFanatic]

Unpack...stuff the safe.......have a wee drinkie....visit Mercadona, come home via Spanish Style..then the holiday commences!!:jumping:

OH DEAR!! OH DEAR!!! We may have the same grandmother.....must've been leading a double life!!

First thing, coming off the 6 am flight, is pick up a car and head for Delicious Del Teide in Las Chafiras for brekkie (11.15 )
Spanish tortilla y Barraquito con, or else the petrol station,coming out the coast road from Las Galletas... THEN I KNOW
that I've arrived. Bien.:cheeky:

From Dublin usually around 6 am arriving at about 1015 --1030...Fab in early Jan...about 90mins out of Dublin, sunset in reverse on port side headin' south.Fab when we havn't seen much sun for weeks, ALSO being first at the front foor when they open up and the rush of Tenerife hot air, is like somebody turning a hairdryer on full blast into your face. Now I
know that I've arrived. Its hard to beat it!!!!!:cheeky:
And RYANAIR of course

Almost better than s*x!!!
