kellbells is the question the correct one or is it now what do you do when you get to the airport? :think :)

Anyhoo - once I've unpacked (which I am very swift indeed at), it depends on the time of day. I will take last year. It was about 4pm. I unpacked, got into my bikini and went straight out to the pool. No question, this is the only thing to do. :cheers

Think it depends on what time we arrive. Last year, we arrived late in the evening so unpacked the creasables (is that even a word?) then headed to the bar for our first "holiday" drink then back to the room to unpack the rest and put the little one to bed.

If we arrive early (like this year, should be at apts by 10.00am :) ), as soon as we (emphasis on the "we") have unpacked its head to the shops to stock the essentials then off to the pool for maximum sun tan time :sun2 and get the holiday started.

As I do all the packing to go away, hubby has to help unpack when we get there. This year we will be arriving about 5pm so probably we'll unpack on arrival, shower and change and then head out early evening. First stop the hotel bar, then a little look around.

If we arrive morning or early afternoon, it's a quick unpack and straight down to the pool.

If it's daytime then swim stuff comes out from the top of the case and we head off to the pool or beach for a few hours before going for a wander to get our bearings.
If it's early evening then shorts on and off for a wander round the resort to explore stright away.
If it's later then go and find somewhere to eat and earlyish night and then explore next morning.

I must go for that wander round to get my bearings asap, i hate it when you've been somewhere for a week or two and then realise that there's another beach or street full of restaurants that you've missed!! Not fussed about checking out each place, just enough of a wander to get a mental map of the resort and what's where..

Last year we had an overnight flight, neither of us managing any sleep at all - by time we arrived at our hotel it was about 7am ish, we (well I) unpacked, then went to sleep for a couple of hours, before getting up and going for a walk around.

This year we'll probably arrive about 6pm to at our apartments, will probably quickly unpack, get a shower then go out for dinner, followed by a walk and try to not get lost. Can't wait!

Depends when we arrive - late at night I get the essentials out and then we go and try and find somewhere to get drinks/food before heading to bed.

This year we land late morning and should be in resort by early afternoon so it'sll be a quick unpack, quick change and out to the beach/pool before popping in to see friends who have a mini market in the resort to get water and soft drinks.

I could never go to bed as soon as I got to my hotel no matter how many hours I'd been awake. With the exeption of arriving early hours of the morning when the bars and everything else were closed.

Morning/ afternoon or evening as soon as we get in the room we dump the cases and go out and about! San Miguel or two and have a wonder!

I always try and get the earliest flight out in the morning so we can be there by midday, as we like to stay in a private rental, we explore the house/apartment, opening all the cupboards and wardrobes for a quick nosy, straight into our swimming gear, and off to the pool, firstly sampling the delights of a local frosty pint at the pool bar, its thirsty work is travelling !

go to hotel room, dump cases and look for the bar :cheers
unpacks next morning while hubby and kids find the sunbeds and best places around the pool. we are early risers so it`s all done in time for brekkie..

Usually if we are coaching it, we would arrive between 11am and 1pm, so it's unpack, get some essential groceries, then pool and dive straight in :)
