    @Sandy_123

    You are right about crossing the border but Gibraltar airport is great fun, the runway is very short so it's quite fun landing and taking off there!!! Also it's so quiet, it's like traveling in the 1970s. It's actually I believe a RAF airport but they let commercial planes land there.

    Last time we were heading home from Gibraltar they said our plane was fully booked up and were offering people 1000 euros + a free hotel room if they give up their seat and fly tomorrow. Me and my Dad were well up for it but sadly my Granny (who had paid for the holiday) said no so we had to stay with her. :D

    @66Mustang
    Hi I hope your feeling good today.
    Oh that was a pity, a night in a hotel and £1000 euros would’ve been well worth it 😊

    @Sandy_123
    I would be the same as you couldn’t deal with walking for 30 minutes it would probably take me more like an hour lol

    @Teigr
    Oh sounds lovely a nice cuppa tea at the back door taking in the fresh air. 

    @Strawberry1
    It will all be over with by tea time, take it easy.

    @Beaver79

    Yes the 30 minute walk would be for someone who had no disadvantages, would of took me longer too. My family don't even think about access or anything. So I have to be on top of all that.

    Yeah @Sandy_123 would have been like £800 each!! For one day!

    @Lou67 hello I am not too bad today, I hope you are good and your knee is continuing to mend :blush: 

    @Sandy_123 that's a shame that they don't consider access. My Granny can't walk well so my Mum actually does a "recce" and scouts a new place out before she takes Granny, just to make sure it's easy to walk through!!!

    @Sandy_123
    Yes lucky you’re on the ball with it, nothing worse arriving somewhere and the access and walk time isnt good.

    @66Mustang
    Im getting there thanks. Glad you’re not to bad.

    ❤️

    Talking of the walk through Gibraltar border

    My Dad got stopped there for attempting to carry too many cigarettes from Gibraltar into Spain ... he was handed a fine and had the cigarettes taken away ... very embarrassing for who was at the time a police officer!!!

    The worst thing is, he doesn't even smoke!!! They were for my Granny, she bought them cheap to take home and thought she had given half to my Dad so they could both use their allowance, but she without realising gave him too many :D

    I find family forget our limitations when planning holidays too. I remember a suggestion to go to Tenerife and apartments were at top of steep hill!!

    Sadly holidays are out till my partner gets brain surgery and with clots in brain he may never be able to fly.

    My son who lives in London is getting married there in August so I am planning ferry and car as that's one event I cannot miss.

    @Ada I  wanted to say hello and I miss you chum x

    That's good @66Mustang that your mom does that. Oh no with the duty free, easy to make that mistake tho.

    @Marydoll5
    Aw it’s lovely having you here to chat with to, I’d be lost without everyone on here, there’s always someone around when you’re needing company.
    Oh that's great news about your son getting married next year, my son is also getting married in June next year. 
    We will be able to swap ideas about our outfits 😊
