For the first time in a few years, we've no weddings to go to this year, so we're free to go anywhere we fancy.

I had a look around and found two hotels I really liked to look of, one in Kos and the other in Andalusia.

Turns out the one in Kos is where my daughter's already booked to go to this summer, what's the chances eh? Small world and all that...

Similar thing happened to us a few years ago.

Booked a villa in Cyprus, pitched up and discovered my sister in the adjoining villa.

We’re going to Andalusia in a couple of weeks, Nerja to be precise.
Never been to mainland Spain before but fancied a change from the Canaries and the wife had heard good things about Nerja from others who’ve been, so had a look and found a good deal.
Weather is mostly sunny and averaging around 20C during the day, so we’ll see how it goes.

Lad I know had a business in Nerja for about 20 years. Loved the place. Especially when he realised the best way was to live like the Spanish and not to our hours.

Ye, probably a bit inconvenient living according to GMT when the rest of the country is at GMT +1 - lots of missed appointments... "I made the booking for 8pm!" "Senõr, it is 9pm now".

For all you expats on here with citizenship in another country and having British Citizenship (with no or an expired passport) some may not be aware, like I was until recently, that you may be denied boarding when flying to the UK when you turn up at your departing airport with your countries passport (in my case USA) . So you may have booked your hols at With for the season (or even posher Hornsea) or more importantly booked your seat at the playoff final to see City gloriously go back into the premier league and not be able to go. Thats as of this month. Option is to renew your British passport (best and cheapest) or get a "Certificate of Entitlement" 589 quid. You are more likely to be denied boarding if you have some sort of record in the UK i.e. National Insurance Record, British Pensioner, Service in the Armed forces, Life Long Hull City Supporter etc.

There's many on this board with a "Certificate of Entitlement".
