Looking at sorting a holiday for 2010 (aswell as the Ibiza week with my sister).
Spoke to Daz about Magaluf. Dave might be up for it too? Anyone else want to jump onboard / have any other suggestions let me know? As long as it's sunny & they sell beer I'll be happy!
July / August or even September? Need to try and find a week when Im not booked to DJ is the tricky bit.

Heard on the radio a holiday firm had gone bust. Called R-Travel up and they said "sorry yeah you were supposed to be flying with them, you can either TRY to get your money back, or we can give you a credit note. Alternatively we can try to get you on a different flight, but you will have to pay for that flight then re-claim the cost of your flight from the original holiday". So we have paid another £640 to get a different flight. Im wondering how we can claim back the cost of the flight for the original holiday as the details don't list anything sepearately it's all together as a package holiday? Flights going out and coming back arn't as good either When we get back on Monday it's straight to work from the airport. How rubbish is that.

Called holiday company (R-Travel) after speaking to someone details were emailed straight over. She didn't know why they hadn't been sent. Still waiting on tickets in the post though.

Knackered after the flight home. Bit of a nightmare holiday, but all worked out in the end. Now got to try and get my money back for the flights I had to pay for again.
Wouldn't go again. Argassi is ok for families with young kids or retired people. Laganass was good for the night life, plenty of bars to keep you happy for a few nights if your aged 16 - 24.

It was funny checking my emails on holiday. They had sent us the paperwork 2 days into the holiday. No wonder the hotel didn't know who we were. lol.
Arrived home to find the ATOL papers had arrived. Got a booklet of paper work to fill out and send back to try and re-claim some of our money now.
