    As silly as it sound I want to keep my fitness up whilst I am out there (next June) When we had a Villa there was a gym and I could go for runs out on the road.

    However I am staying in Caribbean Beach resort, which doesn't have a gym. :( Any ideas?

    Just upgraded the flights on Monarch to premium economy for £100 per person (£300). I hope my partner is as happy with this as I am (will leave as a surprise on checkin). :-D

    Plenty of bodyweight stuff you can do. Do you have a TRX (or similar)? Took one on holiday last year - tons you can do on it.

    Does anyone know if the car hire companies throw in a free additional driver?

    Most do, usually best to ask for it at the time of booking

    With dollar.co.uk you have to accept the platinum for an additional driver.

    Had a quote for Alamo, that didn't include one
    Loved our trip to the West Coast USA. Death Valley is the place to go!

    Have you tried these?

    http://www.nationalcar.co.uk/free-additional-driver-usa

    http://www.alamo.co.uk/Hotdeals/740/UK/aluk_usca_freeadditionaldriver
    Everything will be alright in the end so, if it’s not yet alright, it means it’s not yet the end
