At long last they are flying into Murcia from Gatwick. We normally use Alicante which is a 55 min drive to our apartment in Playa Flamenca, Costa Blanca. Murcia is 20 minutes away, hip hip hooray! AND, they have some retunr flights from £1, bargain or what?! _______________________ FibbyUK http://www.payingtaxesinspain.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk Spam post? If so please click here to report it

Myself I prefer it the cheaper and rougher the better - generally the Spanish dont seem to understand why a Brit likes Veterano or 103 Blanco - seem to think we only go for the upper end of the market, but I like the way that I dont feel it in my throat so much and it is around the collar bone that the warmth starts right down to my tummy. Great with coffee on a December morning to keep out the chilly 18 degree breeze.

I thought it was just that they didnt want me arriving back at Malaga to pick up my car and then drive 10 times over the limit ..... there I was thinking Easy were looking out for me. Dont know what it will be like up your end of the coast but at Malaga you now cannot take liquids through security - rules were relaxed until about a month ago but now seem to be taking threats as seriously as UK airports (unless of course you happen to be Spanish and then it doesnt seem to apply - Spanish guy in front of my wife took through three bottles of vino in his hand luggage last week and they didnt bat an eye). Toothpaste and small containers are fine and lipstick too and seems no restriction on lighters but friends had a large bottle of water removed two weeks ago. Seriously I know what you mean about turbulence. Was on a flight back after a visit to the UK about two years ago and we were just this side of Madrid - had come through some turbulence but it had settled down and the pilot had just turned off the seat belt lights and we hit a pocket that he wasnt expecting - in a matter of a nano second we dropped from 33,000 feet or something to about 23,000 feet or something - having pulled my stomach off the roof of the fuselage not to mention one or two other organs we regained height to where we should have been. Thankfully I am not a nervous flyer but gotta tell you they were cracking open their own bottles because the staff didnt seem to want to stand up any more - God only knows what happens in a situation like that if one has a heart condition or something. With crowded airspace as well just as well there wasnt something underneath us ..... hold on a second did I say I am not a nervous flyer! Just noticed the time of your post - you are worse than I am for burning the midnight oil .... we need to get a life! Had to take my jacket off this morning Helen on the way to the Notary and short sleeves as I was too hot...... I know, you could hate me! Mind you the Spanish think I am a bit loopy Rgds _______________________ *Smiley* - patrick@marbellamortgages.com www.marbellamortgages.com *Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit .....but any form of wit is an achievement* NO MATTER HOW MUCH MONEY YOU HAVE GOT, IF YOU HAVE NOBODY TO SHARE IT WITH, THEN ITS JUST NUMBERS IN THE BANK.

We fly regularly into Murcia - from reading your last post am now praying for good weather Dec 28th (next visit) may never get my kids on a plane again if we had that experience - mind you think I might be reaching for the G&T as well!

As for sarnies, forget marmelade and banana, go for whisky spread every time........ _______________________ FibbyUK http://www.payingtaxesinspain.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk Spam post?

By the time you touch down you could probably fly without the need of a plane especially if mixing it with whisky spread but you ought to do it with whiskEy instead (the real thing from across the Irish Sea - much better than that poison they peddle North of the border - no offence to our Scottish brethren) - hence the Paddies are all so laid back and the Scots so ready to invade England. By sounds of things JeansSis it doesnt matter to Fibby what it is as long as it has a proof % and doesnt contain water. Have a lovely holiday and a great Xmas and 2007. Thought you were nominated hire car driver anyway Fibby (or is that what Fibby means - you tell Fibs)..... remind me to keep off the roads in Murcia when you are in Spain. Only joking as you know.
