Ok, bit of pre holiday info while I'm waiting for the photos to upload.
We went to Spain - a resort called La Pineda.
We used it as a base to visit 3 water parks, Port Aventura theme park (universal spain) and other places.
La pineda had a lovely beach - very shallow so safe for Ellis to play without us worrying.
We had half board - (brekkie and dinner included just incase you dont have the same in usa). The food was buffet style and fairly good - I put on weight so it obviously wasnt too bad
The weather was a bit mixed, a little rain, a bit windy some days but mostly hot and sunny.
This holiday was just a stop gap to kill time while we waited for the cruise to arrive.
We flew from our local airport - on time

and even laded 10 minutes early
Our cases were the first 3 cases off the plane

- that has NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE
We had paid extra for a taxi transfer so we were straight into the cab and got to the hotel before all three flights - 2 had landed 30 mins prior to ours and we still beat them to check in
We were unpacked and sunbathing by the pool before the coach even pulled up
The hotel entertainment was ok. Ellis loved the kiddie entertainment and even won once on bingo!
OK, I'm off to see if the photos have uploaded yet.
