Hi Tricia

Hope you have a good time,  looking forward to seeing you all on 27th July. Hope Anne and her family have a good time she has got my number if she needs to speak to me but I'm sure everything will be great.  See you soon.

Hi Tricia

We are well thanks and looking forward to seeing you in the summer hols.

The cheapest we have seen was in a sports shop and in Lopez but they were 50 euros each.  I think we will take some tennis rackets to get us going but Kev says the tennis rackets hit the ball too far but surely if you are not budding tennis players that is not a problem.  We will keep looking though.

See you soon

Hi everybody

We are just thinking we must buy some paddle rackets to make full use of the court on Veranda.

We have searched the internet but can not find any to buy in the UK,  when we have looked locally in the area we can only find very expensive ones but are reluctant  to spend this kind of money for the kids to probably break.

Anybody got any suggestions of where to buy for a reasonable price ?

The last couple of times we have hired cars from Alicante we have been offered an extra insurance of 35E to cover punctures and windscreens and they said made us fully insured maybe if we took out the £50.00 that Noreen has suggested we wont have to pay that ?

We spent all day Wednesday looking or rather Kev did with me just looking on and he found a deal with Carjet for 12 days collecting from Auriga Crown car hire at Almeria airport for a Clio diesel or similar for 219 euros which seems too good to be true but we have read through it and it seems to be ok, main thing is insurance but it says it is all inclusive. Last year we booked through Hertz in Majorca and when we arrived we were only insured third party and had to pay another 160E for fully comp and extra for me to drive and so we are a bit wary about that happening again. 

My mum and step dad have gone to our apartment it was a last minute thing to cheer them up after a long winter.  We got them brilliant flight times and price to Almeria airport.  Dave picked them up and took them to the supermarket and they have settled in.  Mum says Dave is fantastic and they feel really at home with the area and know Dave is only a few minutes away if they have a problem or they need a lift anywhere.
