Glad to hear I'm in esteemed company! I did that a few times too when I was there.

Anyway, I'm with all the others. You'll do fine - at least everything will be in the right language (ish) and you've been there before. Take care obviously but don't fret about it and most of all, have fun!

One week in and I'm relaxed but was in quite a lot of pain last night so I'm taking the day off today (and feeling better for it).

If you've got the time maybe look at going to Addo which has expanded a lot since I was last there, I think it now goes down as far as the coast. It was peanuts to stay there, something daft like £5/night for accommodation.

Yeah, we're aiming to spend at least a day in Addo. We're also going to Kariega (Ukhozi lodge) for a few nights. We stayed at Phina last time we were there (travelled around KwaZulu Natal). That was amazing. I really liked KZN, we stayed for a couple fo days in the Drakensberg mountains, then went to Isandlwana (Rorkes Drift), then Phinda and then stayed outside Durban. It was fantastic.

I was looking at Bulgaria.. but flights are at stupid o'clock not good when you have a little one in tow... Then looked at Rhodes as there have been lots of good comments in here, but didn't realise that it was a 4 hour flight.. again not great with a little one to entertain! Is Rhodes a fairly cheap place for eating out??

Menorca? That's a nice place to visit. A bit like Rhodes, but Spanish.

For AI try the places that were designed to be AI, a lot in the traditional resorts ( Spain, Greece, Turkey ) are hotels that failed as normal hotels

For cheapish decent AI have a look at Egypt

Rob and I went to Playa De Rocha and stayed in Castelos da Rocha appartments. Lovely place, v family friendly (apart from the huge main road you have to cross to get to the beach).

We got a cancellation and paid £500 for the both of us for a week.

Hey all - just want to say - don't worry, I'll take good care of Mei when she gets to SF tomorrow!

hehehe no really... she's done the whole "tourist" thing so I'm going to show her where the locals hang out, take her to a club for some drum n bass, then take her to my home in wine country and show her around here, and then over the mountains to the east to drop her off in Napa in time for the wedding. Y'all jealous? Good! Come visit!

[lostkat]

[Knipples]

Oh my god i'd love to go to Napa!
