how strange, I typed a post a while back re cala bona and its disappeared. :( It might surface somewhere. Anyway I just wanted to say that the hotel cala bona is still great ditto for the resort. Only one diappointment the bar jemica has shut, the owner decided to retire.
Had a look at the hotel Bonemar, very impressed, very clean, staff were friendly. We were able to look at a room, liilte small but immaculate.

Nightmare! One of the twins has started with a sickness bug overnight - NOT what I want or need 6 days before we travel.

Praying that the other 2 don't come down with it or if they do that it's within the next 48 hours so it's well and truly out of the way before we fly!

Oh and the weather forecast for Manacor looks shocking - rain Saturday, Sunday & Monday - please God can it get it over and done with then so we have 2 weeks of glorious sunshine while we're there!!!!!

One twin over sickness - the other has JUST started (house now like a Chinese Laundry) so expecting eldest to start tomorrow and knowing our luck me and DH will get it over the weekend!

:cry

Eldest started with it this morning so that's all 3 kids - just me and DH to go. Seems to be going thru' school like a Porsche!

And if one forecast is anything to go by, him upstairs has a very strange sense of humour - it's showing rain Mon, Tue, Wed, Thurs, Fri AND Sat!

JUST what I needed to see! I'll be packing my chuffing wellies along with kagools and brolly at this rate! :cry

Hi Tis, I should be talking to my boyfriend tomorrow evening so will ask him what the weather is like in Cala Bona for you. Hopefully the forecast will be wrong - the one I've seen seems to be clear on Monday/Tuesday so I'll keep my fingers crossed!! Louise

Hi From Scotland!! We're off to Majorca on the 26th June, haven't been for 10 years. Can anyone tell us where's the best place for car hire, preferably an open top jeep. :wave:

Orley - you're probably better stating where you're staying and/or if you want to pick up from airport or in resort. Someone should be able to help you- we don't drive abroad so can't help you. Have a great time!

Only 3 more sleeps!!!!!!

we usually wait until we get to our hotel. You will find plenty of car hire places around. We don't use the rep. for much but sometimes we have booked a car through them. At least you know it will be a reputable company. Have a great time. :cheers :cheers

Well my week just gets better! Little boy broke his little finger this afternoon playing football in garden!

It's not a 'good' break so have to see what the RVI say on Monday morning and keep everything crossed that it will be okay with splint otherwise we've got major problems!

I know it could be worse, I know it's only his finger but I feel so fed up at the moment :cry

grandson fractured his little finger and all they did was to strap it to the next one, so your son should be ok for swimming. Mind you, if he's like most of the male population he'll milk it for all the sympathy he can get!!!

Hi Tis, at least they are getting it out of their systems (literally!!) before the holiday rather than on holiday! Spoke to my boyfriend earlier, he said they had a bit of rain this morning in Cala Bona but the beach bar was still busy. The weather can't have been that bad or everyone would stay off the beach?!?!? The forecast i've seen looks as though Cala Bona will be OK Monday, should escape the rain Tues, but could be wet on Wed. Hopefully it will blow a bit further south and stay dry the rest of the time for you. Have a great hol, may see you there - you'll be even easier to spot if your son has a splint on his hand!! Louise

Majorca08 - that's what they did when eldest did the same (to same finger) but their concern with this one is that it's right at the joint so 'may' cause problems.

I rang ward this morning and explained we'd been told to go tomorrow but I was worried as we were flying to Majorca on Tuesday and very nice nurse said we can go down this morning so we'll be leaving in about 20 minutes and see what the Plastics team have to say. Fingers crossed everyone (no pun intended).

Louise - thanks for the weather reports - it does help when there's someone in resort who can tell it like it is. Where does your boyfriend work? Yes, I've no doubt we'll be easier to spot now - I will be the extremely harrassed one watching little one with splinted finger like a hawk!

Got home from RVI at 10.30pm this evening - 13.5 hours after arriving!

Break wasn't good so he had to have a general anaesthetic to manipulate it and he's now got a whacking big metal splint covering his 2 fingers down to his wrist! They've said he'd be okay to travel and have given us a fit to fly letter so the holiday's going ahead so long as Jet2 and travel insurance are okay but I am now wondering what sort of holiday the poor wee man is going to have as we've been told not to get it wet and try not to get sand in it.

Part of me thinks we should just stay at home but we've all been looking forward to it - I just don't know what to think!

My head's absolutely battered so I'm off to bed. Tis

Hi Tis :wave:

What a terrible couple of days you have had :yikes
It sound's like to me that you need a holiday ;) You have your fit to fly letter and that is exactly what the family should do !
Go and have a great holiday and I want to hear all about it when you come back :cheers
Hope your son isn't in too much pain ... i'm sure the holiday will take his mind off it :sun2
