So, got to our first stop over near Logrones and went to plug in and both my foreign adaptors are missing.

Then I remember the in laws 'borrowed' both, just in case, for when they went to Spain earlier in the year.
Despite already owning one, they thought they'd better take ours as well.

So, they now have three, we have none, and it's us in Spain, not them.

They also have one of our Bose speakers and both our windbreaks.

Borrow means keep, basically.

Is it too early for beer?

I’m probably not the best one to ask mate <cheers>
 
She's proper wierding me out by the way.

Hasn't touched so much as a glass of wine yet, and I feel like I'm being watched and judged when I have a cold beer.

**** that if that's the theme for the next two and a half weeks.

Any holiday advice for November? Looking at getting away for a couple weeks.

Any ideas where the weather will be nice and mainly dry? 3 grand budget for 2 people and I would prefer all-inclusive.

November, I'd be looking at somewhere like Malta, just need a warm top for evening, but you're northern, so you'll be fine. If you want Spain, then Andalucia (Andalusia) ie Gibraltar way but that will be chillier than Malta. Tenerife will be warm, IF they've stopped all their protests. Places like southern Italy will still be warmish, but probably more rain in November than any other month. Otherwise across the Atlantic to the Keys, now that will be warm, much like most other places that far down....but probably expensive...although you might get a cheap deal for Cuba, now that will probably be the hotest of all those I've mentioned.

You’ll struggle with all inclusive in Florida. Dominican Republic and Mexico could be decent shouts at that time of year.

Yeah, I'd probably chose between Mexico and Cuba if it were me, if you can get a decent deal that is.

What's the situation with Cuba now, are they and the Americans all buddies again?

Did an all-inclusive in Costa Rica and loved it and was good value. More chance of avoiding rain in late November than earlier. Nice people, easy Spanish accent to understand if you speak a bit but their English was better than most places.

This was the place. Think maybe I went when it was new so the rate was a bit lower but would recommend the country anyway.

That looks great. I’ve frequently looked at Costa Rica. I should have stated I’m away to Jamaica in December so don’t fancy two long hauls like that one month after another.

I’m going to check out Malta, tonight. See what that’s all about. I don’t usually holiday in Europe.

Glad to hear NSIS is doing well.

I’m all inclusive, I’m married to a woman who’s Scottish and has decided I need to drink £4K worth of beer so she can claim “we” got our monies worth. And it’s still not numbing it. The very fact she’s clapping along and finding it great makes it all the more annoying.
