Beware of being overweight with luggage coming home they were copping everybody this year I had to pay 18 euro for being 2 kilos over and quite a few people in the queue were having to pay I suppose it's another way to squeeze some more money out of people.

Juggernaut, it depends on your airline as to the allowed free baggage allowance! Sorry you got stung.

Unfortunately the high price of oil is meaning that prices are going up all over the world, and naturally that will include Crete!! Perhaps it's a good time to prepare a budget and stick to it, or to make sure you don't waste what you spend your money on.

I'm not trying to be a killjoy, but I would think that if you did either of these things, you might enjoy your holiday more and feel that what you spent was worth it.

petrol approx 1.39 euro a litra last week but do shop around

And that's cheaper than at my local supermarket in Alsace, France.
