Going to Gumbet in Turkey.
So looking forward to it, haven't been to Turkey for about 5 years.
We love it because they welcome you with open arms & are so friendly. And it is so cheap.
Have done Kusadasi, Altinkum, Marmaris, Icmeler & Dalyan so far,
This time we have booked a 4* A/I hotel for £352 per week. Can't wait to get there, there is a Gym, fitness room, Jaccuzi, sauna & turkish bath.

Hiya Wild Cat

Sorry missed your reply yesterday - yes it sure is a step back in time the Isle of Man.

A bit like Southern Ireland too.

Scenery is beautiful in fact I think if you go to the Calf of Man you can see Scotland, Wales, Ireland and England on a good day from a certain point.

I hope you have a very good time.

Who said it was a dear flight? How much? Least 55mins is better than the ferry journey. LOL

Hi,Tina thats ok,going to Douglas,not been over for about 10 years.Afraid not been to Ireland.Next hol is Austria in few years,

Good gracious me! Yes that is rather steep. Whats that 1st class with champagne and cavaire LOL

Wild Cat
We're going to Douglas,really looking forward to it.

No Tina....economy would you believe!!

Mau it would be cheaper to take some good swimming lessons!

I think thats where we stayed in Douglas - its been a long time since we went.

We had some wonderful homemade soup on the Calf of Man - a little (then) cafe type place - even now I can imagine it. Also we had a lovely milky coffee's over there as well -something I would not normally have.


The hotel we stayed at (which I could remember) were very good to us, we were at the back of the hotel with no view except the walls of the next buildng and I happended to catch a rather nasty viral cold from one of the other passengers - so without extra cost they moved us to one of the best rooms of the hotel so that I had a view of the harbour and the room was twice as big.

Would like to visit there again but at that price for a plane ticket will leave it a while! lol

Hi,Mau Hope you enjoy it,lovely place steam train.horse drawn tram etc.Don't forget Laxeys' wheel

hahaha.. i'm a swimmer but think journey's too far for me lol

I'm going to see my Uncle,last of my Mam's line,and Cousins so it's a very important trip.
Getting excited about seeing them all :O)

ECONOMY - well bless my soul! Thats dreadful. Do they not want any tourists over there these days ?

Have a wonderful time both of you.

Just remembered something else -we were so used to just ambling across the main roads over there with no traffic that when we got back home was a bit of a shock and had to watch what we were doing lol.

Also a few years before had been cruising and met a Mills and Boon authoress on board who happended to live on the Isle of Man. She signed a first edition book for me as a gift.

Gosh I must go to bed !
Night night all
See you tomorrow.
Tina xxxx

Thanks Tina
Cousins say their friends miss out on visits due to fares being so high!
Good night xx

All those memories Laxey Wheel etc and the Fairy Bridge where you have to greet the fairies every time you cross it!

Right going now honest.

LOL xx

Mau,we got £124 each return.
Night Tina,all

Bargain!!
