Whatever we can plan, do and enjoy, it gets us away from our day-to-day routine. Whether near or far, let's share our experiences, snapshots etc. How did we manage? Insurance? Help at home and abroad...

  • Hi

    I am actually considering visiting Seville and Malaga February next year. Craig is not a beach person but loves city. We like good food and shopping. 
    Do you think we should stay in the old city area of Malaga instead of beach front? 
    What is the temperature like that time of the year? 
    Many thanks x

  • A private sauna and steam room - oh wow  

  • We tend to stay in the old city area - it’s closer to shopping and restaurants 

    February should be mild  obviously the days are shorter . The evenings will be chilly though 

    Ive been in late November and the temps were the high teens on the day but you needed a jumper on in the evening. Most of the  restaurants still had their outside tables open albeit with heaters and blankets. Not sunbathing weather but much better for sightseeing (and shopping of course !)

  • Thanks Lucy! Since chemo, I became such a princess:). I can’t cope with any cold or hot weather anymore. The body is just not tolerant of anything. High teens sounds pretty good to me. I will wear coats like the locals and Craig will be in his shorts like a Scot Sweat smile .

    The hotel is call the pig at Norfolk. With chemo, I am not supposed to go to public sauna and steam room due to infection risk etc. So hopefully the in room one would be good as I rather like a good steam room . 

  • Hi Lucy, I've been told the Hebridean cruise  was on a TV programme with a singer called Jane MacdonaldThinking, no idea... I'm just hoping for calm weather as the cruise ship isn't what you'd expectAstonished.

  • Hebridean cruise and Norway cruise sounds lovely. Sounds like September is a very busy month for you. Are you going with Sheila? 

    Hope the weather is good for you and friends next week at Ayr.

  • Hi Eddie, what you are doing and planning is great. I suspect that many people who read our posts are not so lucky. I just booked three different accomodations in Thailand, all with last minute cancelling options.

  • Hi Stella, I've been on a Norwegian Fjords cruise with Mrs Tvman which was fantastic. The scenery was amazing although there were a couple of days when it rained VERY heavily. We went in 2016 after I was diagnosed a few months earlier with incurable bone marrow cancer, one of my bucket list holidays

  • Really Eddie, you've never heard of Jane McDonald? She was on a big TV programme years ago called The Cruise and she's been singing her way round the world since then.
