I was thinking just that couple of weeks ago I’ve been to Stalis over the years may /June /July /august and September as many as 20 times And never met a sunderland supporter Infact in the dionameas before there new me as vince I was always called mr sunderland Strange thing that ohh and I hope your having a great time with the great people and lovely resort
I hadn’t seen any all week until yesterday a load piled into slainte the Irish bar was good crack, flying home today but been brilliant will definitely be coming back
Great news nice bar aswell We never used it this year there is so many great and friendly place you just can’t go to them all
Yeah there’s so many restaurants we wanted to try but not enough days, perfect excuse to go back though
We are there in a months time, been a few times over the years but not been for around 10 years now so looking forward to it
Tomorrow is the big day, head down to Manchester tomorrow morning to do a little pre holiday shopping then food and drinks before our flight on Wednesday. Cant wait to set that out of office at 4.30pm.....
Had a holiday to Kefalonia booked for a while, we were supposed to go last year but it fell through last minute. It's where we got married so it means something to us. It's also my wife's 40th while we're there. Last week and both of the kids have been sick, one of them multiple times on separate occasions hopefully finishing today and the other a couple of times finishing a few days ago. Pray for me. I don't care if I'm sick once I'm there I just want to get through the trip without vomiting in the airport or on the plane.
Travel agent rang this week to tell us the hotel room which we booked in July last year to be sure we had a lakeside balcony room in Sirmione, Lake Garda, has been double booked and is no longer available to us, the alternative offered was crap so that's us waiting for our full refund and our holiday down the crapper. We've planned this like a military operation booked trains and hotel in London as going by train all for nothing. To say we're cheesed off dossent get close.
This becoming more common Buy a holiday 1 year in advance get a great deal Then company cancel give you your money back And theve already sold it at an elaborate high price to some one else Then you try to rebook and the holidays gone up double
You see some of these exotic holidays can be 5/6k per couple You book and pay 1 year in advance to secure that great deal However the company sell or double book your holiday and give you a full refund Nevertheless you’ve lost all your interest on the 5/6k and have to pay more for the same holiday And the government think there doing you a favour by making sure the holiday company gives you a full refund with no compensation The system stinks
This happened to us a few years ago, they just said this is your alternative or your money back which means we have fulfilled our contract. I went mental and in the end they offered a mansion that was double the price if we put £250 towards it.
This is our second go at trying to get to Lake Garda, there won't be a third. We don't normally holiday abroad, this was special for our golden wedding which went tits up thanks to covid, think we'll be sticking to the UK in future, fancy Guernsey but we'll see.
