    Hmm - I have a fluffy white tail and a black bow tie if that's an acceptable (if not exactly classy!!:D) alternative??? (complete with the bunny ears and faux cuffs......:o:o)
    Am sure Froggy will think it's acceptable :eek:.

    Loads of room in mine as I pack light, but not sure you could cope for 2 weeks with nothing to do apart from eat and drink and lay on a lounger

    Plus I can normally get my wrist band off so we could play tag at the restaurants

    If I can manage a week with a rucksack, I'm sure I can cope. Draw the line at sharing a sun lounger :rotfl:

    Have a fab holiday x x
