Well having had a busy few weeks - although not over-worked, it's incredibly busy, as spread thinly over various initiatives, I took the opportunity to have a time-out break with a family friend - as both us needed a time-out!!
We decided to go to Egypt for a week, just to catch some sun, sea, sand and enjoy the views!! Ho-hum...
We decided to go to Sharm El-Sheikh, as I've never been (although my friend has), and we wanted to go somewhere where there were things to go and do - if you fancied it, or alternatively a resort which had everything we needed. Sharm in Egypt was the ideal venue!
I booked through AXP Staff Travel - to get a nice discount (saves on the commission at least!), and we booked up a 7-day break in the Maritim (formerly Movenpick) Jolie Ville Sharm el Sheikh Beach and Casino Resort!! The Tour Operator for our Half-Board package was Longwood Holidays - they seemed okay.
I must say the only flaw was really the flight - some many common-folk ascended to Sharm - I guess this sums up the popularity of the location. At least, there were only a few folks present at our resort, the rest probably went to the cheaper locations etc. In fact, the nationalities that were heaving at our resort were the Russians, Ukranians, and Italians - many were very nice to see indeed.
Anyway, 7-days in the sun - just what the doctor ordered!! Only registered users can write comments. Please login or register. Powered by AkoComment 1.0! |
