All costs have risen though. Cleaning, power, linen collection services .......... it pays to shop around then let the other companies know!

Sorry,should've said,it's a Premier Inn, I just don't know how they can justify more than 50% hike in their prices for a bed!! I think it's an excuse with some companies.  >:(

It's the same with some foods, prices have shot up - due to transport costs, less workers = delays in deliveries,  animal feed prices increasing. 

Happy here today, it's drizzling hard  ;D

oooh Holidays!!
Holidays are our 'thing' !!!

This year so far we have had - a cruise around the Canaries

A trip to Disney World

A cruise around the Mediterranean

In September we are off back to Florida again

Then later in the year we will go back to Spain on a road trip and continue our scoping out of areas (as we are in the process of preparing to move out there when hubby takes early retirement in 18 months)

As a child I wanted to visit Spain.  Desperately.  I think that I was drawn to the  :sunny:; Flamenco dresses and the horses. Of course.  Do check how your Health Care will be provided as well as paying of Taxes so that you don't get caught paying twice: here as well as abroad.  Go for it?  Finca, or town house?  Countryside or in the middle of shopping/bars etc.? Beach front .......... I watch the various buying homes here and abroad  ;). Will expect photos once you decide  ;D

R U every home Clovie?    :D

We do go away a lot!   ;D  But it is our weakness. No fancy cars, designer clothes and shoes etc - just travel!  ;D
And yes CKLD we have all the finances etc sorted out, taxes, visa, health care etc etc.
Right now we DO do fancy our own place inland half hour max from coast with our own pool - but are aware that our needs might change as we get older - so it all could change...

Fabulous Jaypo!  :banana:

It's one cruise we've not done yet, the Fjords. You must recommend it as you are going 'back'?  Who are you sailing with?  :)
Have a fabulous time!

Go for it Girls .  Anxiety keeps me house bound at times though we do get out and about spontaneously.   8). I've booked to go away at the end of the month, not telling anyone else so that we don't get asked here, there and everywhere.  We are going to a place where we are likely to bump into people we know  >:( - long story short  ;D. 

I'll be first in that pool Clovie, skinny dipping  :o   Have U made provision in case you need to return i.e. a small flat which U could rent out initially?

Someone I know, his Aunt sold her house much to her kids' disgust  ;D and bought a small flat in Southampton.  which they get to use.  She sails regularly, now in her late 80s she has everything she requires on board: Dr., Spa, pool, shops, scenery if she wants to go on trips ......... cheaper than a rest home  ;) 8)

Ooh Norway I am envious! It is my dream to go on the Hurtigruten from Bergen all the way up to the arctic circle and go to the cathedral there at midnight. Waiting til the kids are older, it'd be wasted on 9 year olds. Do you know any of the places you are stopping at, are you going to do any excursions? Lol I am excited for you!

We've been quite a few times Penguin so don't do the tours anymore but we have done,loved looking at the blue ice glaciers,did a walking tour of Bergen,that was good,always great when it's a local telling you all about her town. Ooh that sounds fab what you are wanting to do,that's my kinda thing too.
