Three weeks away

I have been trying to finish off my Scrabble matches all week but of course this is the week its been closed down. So if any of you are reading this please excuse my absence. We are ready for a rest. David is very good at getting us flights in the middle of the night so I was relieved when he said this one was in the morning. Ha! Its at 8am so we have to be at Exeter Airpot for 6am and that means we set off from here at 4am!

We are going to Majorca which is only a two hour flight but then we have the drama of finding our hire car. Last year the renta car base was miles away so we couldn't find it again on the day we were leaving! Then we have to get onto the motor way on the wrong side of the road. We did do that one year but the friendly locals soon put us right with gestures and hooting!

Arriving at the hotel is like revisiting an old friend. Its lovely but we are always quite early so we settle down for a drink of the local brew. or three. The last time I unpacked when we got back to our room but the next day I couldn't find anything!

After all that we really do need a good rest!
