Patridge bantam chicken poorly foot?

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Hope you have a fab time .

 

Only advice I can give is keep your passport hidden at all times (except when a man in uniform asks to see it ).

 

A classmate of my YS apparently had his passport taken out of his back pocket after going through passport control. He and his mum had to stay behind while dad and sister went ahead . I think he got there in the end but what a start to a holiday .

phone charger, iPod charger etc? Suncream, swimsuit .... there isn't much you can't buy over there if you forget it.

 

Take lots of books to read! Have a lovely time.

Lucky you - I have just got back from my hols & feel like I need another one already

 

Corfu is great - went there pre children many years ago.

 

My checklist is-

 

Cancel papaers

Wax legs

Unplug everything (apart from fridge )

Get Euros

Give chicken sitter key & instructions

Empty fridge,bin & bread bin

Put rubbish out

 

Pack flight handbag with liqueds etc in a plastic food bag,rescue remedy,a book, Heat magazine,phone,camera,i-pod,passports,tickets,money, & enough in pounds to buy an in flight G&T

 

If you are taking more than one case,then mix & match the packing so if one does go astray,then a bit of everyones clothes are in each one.I usually pull aside one outfit for each person to pack in someone elses case.

 

Have a wonderful time.

We did the splitting suitcase contents too . I was paranoid about the cases going astray but they didn't!

[Cinnamon]

The worst was when my gorgeous emerald green Samsonite vanity case went missing,with all the tolietries in it

It came back after a few days,but by then we had had to replace most things anyhow

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Bon voyage .

Byeeeeeeeeee Safe journey

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Welcome home . Sounds like you had a lovely time (apart from the mozzie bites ).

 

Any photos ?

[Cinnamon]

Argh,those Mozzies!

 

Where in Corfu were you staying?

[Cate in NZ]

It sounds like a great holiday, probably a bit too warm for comfort for me, but the blue skies, boat trips food and relaxation just sound like total bliss to me. Glad to hear that you had a good time.

 

Too late now, but I've always been a bit of a magnet for mozzies and other biting insects as well, but a few years back I read something about garlic and Brewers yeast putting them off a bit. So I take odourless garlic tablets and brewers yeast daily for about 2 weeks before a holiday and throughout it and you know, it really seems to work, in that I get bitten less. Supposedly the tablets make your blood smell (?taste) funny and it puts off all but the most determined mozzie. As far as I know there is no scientific evidence for this, and definitely do not rely on it if you're travelling to a malarious or Yellow Fever region where it's really important that you avoid mozzie bites and protect yourself against disease, but for the harmless but irritating European mozzies I figure that garlic and brewers yeast certainly won't hurt you, may even be good for you and may deter the mozzies. Worth it for a couple of pounds from the supermarket

I was told that Gin is good for stopping the mozzies. Sadly I didn't get chance to try it before they had filled themselves up

 

It sounds like you had a lovely time though

Deet and citronella oil work wonders!

 

My Bajan mum swears by citronella oil and is always slapping it on my legs when i go out to see her

 

I dont find the mozzi sprays work very well at all and i always end up coughing as they smell so bad!
