On the Road Again!

Once again we are headed for Spain.  Most years we use the timeshare exchange and go to the Costa del Sol.  Last year we had a change and went to La Colina near Torremolinos. We lucked out with a relatively quiet apartment complex with a two bedroom apartment and we didn't need a car. For 2013 we are returning to Torrenueva Park at Mijas Costa.  We have been before a few times with a two bedroom apartment and a sea view.  However, the last time wasn't all that exciting and the apartment was above the reception. This year I emailed and the apartment we have been allocated overlooks the pool area. Fingers crossed.

Last minute checks made...  main case packed.   The idea was to take just hand luggage and then we saw the size of  the two small cases that would fit in the overhead lockers.  Not really big enough for a week so we decided to pay Monarch the best part of an arm and a leg to take a hold bag!  Gulp.   So it's packed.  We have also decided that the DSLR's will stay at home as they take up too much room and this holiday is about R&R. Still, we can still take the compacts.   Today, the last brick in the wall was the travel insurance I had forgotten all about.   I have a folder with all the stuff we need in it, just a matter of taking out as we need it. Every year we go to Gatwick I try to book the same parking but every year it seems to be impossible to find it.  Fingers crossed.   The flight is 1625 which makes for a late arrival in Malaga. Fingers crossed again that getting to the apartment is not a problem.
