when I said massive I meant massive...
We are heading off to the algarve next week with our entire family and we have a few "what if this" and "can I this" and "what do you do if's" and stuff like that. So I thought I would ask here!
We're going to vilar do golf with sunterra, flying at 6.30am and we have a fiat matiz hire car... for 7 of us
<---- hehe! 
So firstly questions about the flight.
1. my dad wants to know if he can take his laptop on the plane with him, and if he does, can he plug it in anywhere.
2. My nana wants to know if she can take her knitting
<-- she's afraid they might confiscate her knitting needles...3. I would like to know how long it takes to get there...
Questions about arrival...
4. We don't have a clue what to do when we get there, I assume we just cram as many people in the matiz as we can and call a taxi for the rest, but my sister said something about having to meet the sunterra rep before we go to our villa?
5. Mosquito's is another of my worries...Midges and bee's all go for me so will the mosquito's? do they do much harm if they bite or does it just itch a bit? and should I buy reppelent before I go or when I get there?
6. & finally, as we only have a little matiz car we aint going to go very far with it, but we would definatly like to go places (we don't like just going and sitting there on the beach all day every day, we like to explore!) so what sort of coach trips are there, are they expensive, what sorts of palces are there to go, like aquariums, zoo's, theme parks, castles\gardens etc...
oh, and my grandad want a boat trip of some sort, is there any?
sorry for the size but we are all a tad bit nervous now it's so close, my grandparent and sister have been abroad but none of the rest of us have a clue what to expect, what sort of tempariture will it be, is it rainy in may or should it be fine? also, last ever question, what are they like in general for english tourists? do we need to know much of the language?
Thanks for any help, we are really looking forward to it!!
