I have emailed the hotel to request our favourite room for the duration, and this really shouldn't be a problem for them, as back in February I noticed the vast majority of those staying at the Joli Ville were overnight stays going to and coming off the cruise ships.
If not, I will alter the booking the stay elsewhere.
The deal with TUI and Hayes travel seems very good right now for December, November is a tad expensive Atm..
We are saving the best part of a "bag of sand", so only paying a little more than the one week stay cost us back in February.
It will be nice to be back, one week was not enough last time, and I think I have now got over the initial shock of all the changes I witnessed Back then.
I will look forward to catching up with old friends at some point over the 2 weeks we are there.
I will take requests for anything required from Blighty nearer the time, so will create that post near the end of November.
I should have a couple of KG of spare luggage allowance.
