gina m, my kids are 4,8 and 14. The 4 yr old stays at his nanas when we go abroad but we would love to take him with us next year as we think he's old enough now to really enjoy it. He's been a bit of a mardy boy up to now - he's scared of everything - flys in the back garden, planes flying overhead, too much heat...... so going abroad would be too much for the little mite to cope with!!!!! The other two are totally mad girls who love the sun, pools, trying new foods, everything to do with being abroad - and they absolutely love the kids clubs - they make so many friends - its great. I think going back to the aliathon next year but at the end of sept/early oct price and queue wise sounds better - i just hope the weather is just as good!
