That's some 'senior moment' you had. Hope you enjoy Fueteventura and we may meet up in Tunisia later in the year. Sending you a PM.

I went to book my March holiday to Tunisia today and ended up booking Fueteventura.
I dont know how that happened but will be back to Tunisia hopefully in the autumn
Any easy mistake !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh well it gives you an excuse to book another holiday
We are going to Turkey in May for 2 weeks so unfortunately Tunisia will have to wait until later in the year.
Fuerteventura it a quiet island and have been before 7 years ago so looking forward to some sunshine.

All done and dusted! I've just booked the Gatwick Flyer to get me to and from the airport, my hotel through Travel Republic and my transfer from Tunis to Sousse and back with A2B. All confirmed and vouchers received so now I can stop checking prices and just look forward to being there in six weeks from today. 
Incidentally I booked TR following a link on HT after checking Alpha Rooms the same way (which were actually a few pounds cheaper). I know HT needs our support at the moment.

It's such a relief when you can stop checking prices - it's very tedious!
Whereabouts are you staying Aslemma?

El Hana Beach. It certainly isn't one of the best hotels but I've stayed there a couple of times before and it's in a very convenient position, just over the road from the beach, an easy walk to the Medina etc,, just round the corner from a nice cafe, Sunrise, owned by an English friend and her Algerian husband, the staff are very friendly and it doesn't break the bank so it suits me fine. I don't acually spend a great amount of time in the hotel so as long as I've got a comfortable bed and friendly staff I'm a happy bunny.
Hope you have a great time. We're off to Hammamet in a few days. I'm just hoping the weather's a bit better than it has been
Have a great time Roswell. How long are you going for? I can't find a weather forecast for Hammamet but Sousse seems to be warming up quite nicely:
http://www.accuweather.com/en/tn/susah/321052/march-weather/321052?monyr=3/1/2012 Tunisia has had quite a cold winter and a friend has had her central heating on almost full time but it seems to be getting better now.

We're only going for a week this time but off to Djerba for a fortnight in September. The temperature in Hammamet seems to veer wildly between 12 and 22 degrees during the day and fairly cold at night. Now I'm worrying about what clothes to take bearing in mind a 15kg limit!
What a nightmareNow I'm worrying about what clothes to take bearing in mind a 15kg limit!
At the risk of making you look like the Michelin man, may I suggest you travel in layers of your thickest and warmest things and heaviest shoes and take them off on the plane. Thanks for reminding me why I booked with BA into Tunis, as not only was it cheaper but I get a full 23kg of hold luggage and a very generous hand luggage allowance. 
I always travel in warm clothes,sometimes a lightweight cardigan with a heavier one over the top.
We have just bought some extra light suitcases so 15kgs will be enough.
I always carry my heaviest things such as shoes and books in my hand luggage and stuff and stuff my pockets to the max.

Just be aware that many airlines only allow one piece of hand luggage with a maximum weight of 5kg so everything, including your handbag, has to fit in that. Also, if you are flying with Thomas Cook, they have the smallest dimensions for hand luggage that I have ever come across.
oh help! We are giving PEK a miss this May and heading to Cape Verde so no Tunisian fix at least for another 6 months 
I'm intending to wear a t-shirt, thin cardi, thin fleece with a waterproof coat with all the pockets stuffed on the way out. I'll probably be sweating like anything but once I'm through security I can start to strip off
Usually 15kg wouldn't be so bad for one week but with summer AND winter clothes and accompanying footwear, it could be tight. I've heard the latest adverts for BA with their 23kg and been thinking "if only".
Thanks for mentioning about the Thomas Cook hand luggage dimensions. The rucksack thing on wheels I usually take is always a bit iffy (huge sighs of relief at check-in) so I think I might have a look for something a bit smaller at the weekend.
Oh....so much to worry about!! I need a holiday!!

I'd love to go to Cape Verde, it's next on my list after I've finished with Tunisia!! Have you been before?

No, I've never been to Cape Verde but perhaps one day! I did actually look for a small wheeled case which I could use on TC last year but couldn't find anything at all which fitted their dimensions so made do with my normal hold-all which can be squashed down. I know we've all seen people with much bigger hand-luggage but I just know that if I risked it I'd get some jobsworth at the airport. 
BA is only really viable if it flies from a convenient airport of course, and though I actually prefer flying from Stansted, Gatwick isn't too much of a problem and works out about the same price when the extra cost of getting to Gatwick is included.

Nope - First time to Cape Verde so it had better be good!
Cant find much about it on the other forums but it was recommended by a colleague!

We are going to Cape Verde for the first time in May and then making our first visit to Tunisia in September! Can't wait for both! They each sound so different.
Thanks Graham - looks good doesnt it? 
I know its not Tunisia but hey we will just have to put up with it
