Found another and better exchange website today...  www.hifx.co.uk and you can pay with a card. Free if over £500 and next day delivery. rate now is over 1.17 euro per £


Giving the Euros as 1.124 today - thats not very good  :-\

Getting ready for our first spell this year in SS. We are travelling out on Viking Airways from Gatwick.  Airlines seem to be tightening up on the luggage allowance and Viking want £5/kg each way over 15kg.  In addition they state only 5kg of hand luggage. Has anyone any recent experience if these limits are strictly adhered to.  I suppose I should be more concerned about Ash and the Greeks have a Air Traffic Contollers strike but wouldn't mind knowing.  I will let you know how the new season feels when I return on 24th May!


Don't be caught out by the likes of Sleazyjet and O'Ryan Air on hand luggage

Their hand luggage max sizes are often smaller than other airlines, and they will sting you
to take it on board even if it is that tiny bit bigger  :(

Mikee for next year Portland site automatically redirects to Thomsons site.

Yes Jules but until then (ie: this year) Portland are often cheaper than Thomo's for the exact same holiday

Fingers crossed there is not a general strike there on Monday - all flights today cancelled to Greece.   


Yes hopefully it will be cleared by then Terry ... make sure you have holiday insurance cover

Just looked again (not sure why tbh - just being nosey really) but after it dropping to £860 just after I booked a month ago the same holiday NOW over £1400  :o Thats with Portland, with Tomo it's probably even more expensive


Now £1286 for same holiday - it goes up and down more than West Bromich Albion  :o

Hi Don
What a great idea. I am returning to Dubai in August for my grandaughters birthday . White slaving on the side would go down well.The millionaire arabs would pay a fortune for an english rose.Do you think we have any candidates in the forum.Surely we can do better than Mikee.

The cabbie said he would have driven round me ..... but he didn't have enough petrol  :D  :-\

??? Ive been sent an email from my Thomson holiday thing and looking at the excursion they're offering "Theo's BBQ/Boat Ride" Im in 2 minds about going for it.
On the one hand it seems like a good day out - entertaining and food and drinks included ..
.. on the other hand I dont want to be sat on a boat crammed with 18 yr old tanned & chisselled girls and boys feeling like the pale flabby tourist!
I am a bit self concious I suppose but still - I cant seem to find any honest reviews about the trip that contain much useful info.

It appears to be rather expensive (£79 for the 2 of us) but inclusive of food and drinks that is good really. Theres also a "sundowner" trip that sounds nice for £48 per person. But I wonder if Sally will have something like that cheaper.

Plus I cant tell what hotels they pick up from - as we dont drive we cant hire a car. Thinking about hiring a boat one of the days though! :)

NO that'll be me and Yannis Sian  ;D

It appears that trips are better (and more cheaply) booked when you actiually get to SS

Hi Mikee
It looks that the Romanza is filling up.I was rather concerned that my extended stay in Dubai and my absence from the PR Department would affect bookings.It just goes to show that PR is only effective when the product is inferior.At least Gordon Brown hopes so.

Could it be YOUR magnetic charm that is drawing people to it Yannis  ;)
