Make sure you get to Arthur’s Bar in Carmen. Cath his widow still runs it, was there for the Fulham game. The place exploded when Haaland scored the penalty

Kinell, I’m looking at 1 week in Jamaica next April and they want my first born as payment. What area are you staying in?

Montego Bay, it's not coming cheap, but it's a "big" event.

Anyone been to Puerto Morgan in Gran Canaria? I like the look of it for an Easter break.

Stunning place. Nice quiet harbour with plenty of cafes, restaurants to sit, watch the world go by and soak up the sun. They have a market once a week there which used to be a decent walk round.

Just watch out for the potato and pea gangs. Basicillay they are a racket. You bet which cup (potato) the pea is under. At first they let people win. Then they end up putting more money down to win more. You then soon realise they start to lose. A crowd gathers round whilst one of them who pretends to be part of the crowd pick pockets everybody.

We watched it once from a cafe. The bar tender was telling us all about it.

Apart from that, everything else about it is very nice.

Nice. I love the place. Might have to settle for a last minute cuba next week though and Jamaica next year. Enjoy

 

[cleavers]

Enjoy

I will (hopefully), it's not a holiday I could do very often, as I said it's a bit of a big "life" event, my first time ever in the Caribean, though been to other exoctic places in the past.

You can have my first born as a deposit and if you take my other 3 you can go fully inclusive.

No idea where you are staying, if you are near Karon/Kata, Karon hill to/from Patong has been half washed away due to all the rain recently. Only small vehicles can use it at certain times.

Yes I read that
Staying in 3 places during this trip .. kata Kamala then Naithon

Recently returned from 2 weeks in the Maldives (Komandoo) via Manchester to Singapore. Maldives still paradise but a lot has changed since we last visited pre world lockdown. Returned slightly disappointed. First visit to Singapore though and blown away by it , incredible place from what we saw in the very short time we were there and Changi airport by far the best airport I have ever used .13 hour direct flight an absolute killer in all honesty though even in premium economy with the excellent Singapore Airlines.
Yearly 2 week winter holiday in Teguise Lanzarote to look forward now in February, 4 hour flight a doddle now after the recent experience ha .

We've booked for Antigua in March, our first holiday since just before lockdown. The Caribbean has been our first choice destination for many years. Can't wait.

Thinking of a week away in mid- late Feb and looking at all inclusive Morocco
It'd cost around £700 each in a really top rated hotel
Obviously people are gong to say "Morocco = shit hole", but do any bluemooners holiday there regularly?
