Default Cross your fingers for me please. (indulgent)

The Father in Law booked himself and his Missus a two week all inclusive holiday to Barbados in Feb 2010.
It'll be in a good hotel.
1st class flights out and back with beds on the way back.

He's also moving to Cyprus.
Ooops the dates clash, so................................................ .

He's said me and the Missus can have the holiday as long as he can get the names transferred. He'll pay any transfer costs also.

Cost of holiday: £9000.

I'm double chuffed and not used to this kind of luck so when we get confirmation that the details have been changed I'll do three things:
1: Buy 2 lottery tickets.
2: Drive to Dorset to thank them both personally and take them out for an Indian too.
3: Keep an eye out for something that's going to go funk it all up.

Please cross everything for me ta. I'll maybe bring you back a stick of rock.
Any experiences of Barbados? Any advice?

Take a trip to the Flower Caves up on the north of the island (Boyces Bus Tours)
If you like Rum - Go to one of the Distillaries and see how they make it - Free Samples also!

If you REALLY like Rum and like Music - Book a session on the "Jolly Roger" Pirate boat trip.

What Hotel is it?

Alright for some!

Have a great time, I once stopped there for 1 hr and I remember that it was a lovely soft climate. Never saw anything else though

Well, I just had a call telling me that Virgin holidays would rather lose £4500 than change the names on the holiday.
As my previous luck has usually dictated I've s**t out and we won't be going.
Anyhow, after spending a few hours reading about the spiders and released snakes it doesn't seem so bad.

Sorry to hear you missed out. Virgin will flog the holiday to someone and make an even bigger profit!
