People who've got rid of all their staff and still have a business to run. I promised my missus I wouldn't take mine on our last two holidays, but it does cause me some issues and that's even when I've arranged the holidays during my quietest time.
It’s a beautiful day in La Palma, Canary Islands and should be again tomorrow but I’ll be spending a couple of hours tomorrow watching to see if we can continue our current good run of points collecting. UTT
Off to Puerto Rico in gran canaria in a couple of weeks...never been before...anyone know if its any good?
Went there on a friends recommendation, he loved it, went year after year. Me? it was alright, bit like Teneriffe but not as big and noisy. Bad start for us. Our hotel room was infested with cockroaches and I had to literally threaten the bloke on the reception desk to move us. That took three days out of our one week holiday. We were close to a bazar type of place with loads of bars offering free tots and stuff, so you could get arseholed pretty cheap, if you wanted too. Nice beach close by and a better one if you were prepared to walk across some sand dunes like Lawrence of Arabia.
Been twice, once in the early 1980's* and again in early 2010's. Enjoyed it both times. * Don't go skinny dipping late at night, plod weren't impressed, door ajar. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
Gran Canaria is great; Puerto Rico is basically a nice resort - depends on your accommodation of course as there's a lot of different apartments there. Loads of bars/ restaurants with a nice vibe. We go to GC once a year but usually stay in Puerto Mogan which is further along the coast. Puerto Rico has a nice harbour with ferries that run to various other resorts. A trip to Puerto Mogan is a good day out. You can also walk along the coast to Amadores which is good. Great places for lunch/ drinks. Really good bus service along the whole tourist coast and up to Las Palmas. Weather is usually spot on.
Give it a go, then report back how it went. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
