I'll let you know when they have the Calima Lanzalover, my family live there.

[jillydoll]

What's a Calima?

[Lanzalover]

Hi jillydoll

It's a hot,opressing dust and sand laden wind which blows from North Africa and the Sahara everything gets covered in a sandy dust and the wind can feel like someone is constantly blowing a hot hairdryer in your face.
Visability  is considerably reduced during a Calima but fortunately they only last between one and three days. It can however cause problems for people with respiratory problems.

Hope that makes sense jillydoll.

It would be really helpful if you could update me Dierdre as our friends are returning home at the weekend so won't have Intel on the ground 😀

Is that all over Lanzalover, my cousin hasn't mentioned it. 

Camper packed.  Cases and food to put in early tomorrow.

[Lanzalover]

As far as I am aware CLKD it affects the whole island.
How long are you away for ?

[jillydoll]

Don't get locking anyone's cat in anywhere!  Lol
 
Take care, xx

Off to Abu Dhabi tomorrow ladies. Ten years ago I would have been sooo excited. Now I am a bag of worry about not sleeping, panic attacks, being ill on holiday. I can honestly say I have not had one holiday in the last five years where I haven't had health anxiety rear its head. Any tips on how I can kick it into touch and just enjoy myself. I feel like a dog in a manger.

I totally understand your worry because I worry every time I have to go abroad especially if I have to fly! It always fine once I'm there - and even usually once I've actually driven away from the house all packed up and have locked the door behind me!

Have a great time, go with the flow, enjoy the sunshine - you'll be fine when you get there! If you don't sleep one night - then sleep in the next or sleep in the day - you're on holiday. If you're ill you're ill but at least there is noweher else you need to be or do

Is it wrong that I'm envious? Even though I flew back from Spain less than a week ago after 2 weeks there !!! X
