Portlands brochure for next Summer is now available. We have just booked our 2 weeks for the normal times in August 2010 at Teresa.

What already, they may not want you back!!
There brochure is really late this year. Last year the first edition came out in April - thats how long ago this years was booked.
Go on then - how much!!
£816.00 total for the 2 weeks. Approximately £100.00 more than this years but cheaper than booking through the normal Thomson brochure which was about £70.00 more than Portland. It seems daft that there is a price difference when they are part of the same company. Having said all that I forgot about looking for any promotion discounts beforehand. I believe you can save about £100.00 with a promo code. Still at least we know we are going again.
Oh! No - -Ze Feelthy Rich win again!!
But why August??
We always like to go end of August - it's our favourite time.
Sounds fair!!
Same question back to you. Why July?
No reason other than to fit in with other people!!
We go different weeks each year.
I am fairly flexible on A/Leave - But if we want to meet up with Alan & Carole (there now with Don & Sandra),
we thy to work it out to fit in with Carole's work commitments as she arranges conferences for the University she works at!!
(we call her Mr's Bucket i.e. Bouquet)!! Carole is good for a wind-up!!
This year we then had to move it again after the initial arrangements, so we are a week out of Sync. with them.
This is because our Son Mark, Rita and Grandson later - decided to come with us.
As the case of S*Ds Law prevailed, we couldn't go until end of month as Rita's "End of Month reports" had to be done!
So we see A&C for a week - their Daughter Heather (my niece - long story - don't ask),
is flying out with us as well to get a weeks last minute break! Then she flies back with Mum & Dad!!
Last year we went in May and elsewhere in October, (we also did Malta in March - yuk!).
The year before, we did 2 months in Singapore, Australia & Thailand, then San Stef in September.
The previous year it was Late August - it changes every year!!
In the last 27 years we have covered every single holiday week of the season in S S!!
