Hi Lesley and Colin - thanks for your reply

. I think that I will miss you though unfortunately as I am looking at probably 15th or 17th april for approximately a week. Still debating though as my husband can't get time off work then which would mean going by myself with our girls - will probably result in me looking rather frazzled and stressed if anyone does see me ! I am still continuing to avidly scan the flight costs at present.
Thanks for that Bulent. Does that mean the road will be nice and smooth / smoothish ? This will make things a lot easier - especially if I get one of those old people's shopping type trolleys - I still have scars on my leg from carrying too many shopping bags along that road last time ! LOL.
