    I have been trying to change my flight but it keeps crashing. Or I cannot take my luggage home.
    I think I will have to call to speak to a human being tomorrow!
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    Hotel is full of drunken groups.
    It is really not the place I would have chosen to stay longer, but I must be grateful that they have only charged me !!!8364;130 to stay two extra nights.
    I haven't sorted out the car hire yet, but will do that Monday
    Tomorrow is my 57th birthday. I am determined to make the best of this.
    But eek I am embarrassed to be British looking at and listening to the louts around me.
    I just told a group of men late 20's I guess to stop using the C word around my 10 year old.
    Guess I am grumpy gran!
    It's a pity as the room size is good, the pool is good. But that's where my praise ends.
    After3 nights of interruptions from drunks coming home, trying to get into the wrong rooms and screaming Irish women at 5.30 am I am definitely never coming here again.

    You aren't a grumpy gran Mooloo . You're dealing with potty mouthed drunken louts and have the right to speak out . I do hope things improve , not what you hoped for at all . Meanwhile :bdaycake: positive vibes for better days to come .

    No offence to the Irish women with decorum . Unfortunately the group here have no common decency, and little of anything. I bet their mothers would be amazed at their behaviour. Mind you I am also seeing other british idiots.
    Today I nearly got into Trouble because I interviened when a group of lads tried to masking tape up another and throw him in the pool. Mama bear here didn't think about the repercussions. I just waded in and let rip. I got pushed and attacked with the tape but I just hit him on the chest/shoulder and told them to grow up and remember there's children about.
    I was so angry at them that I didn't notice he had tried to hit me, but some women watching did and were ready to intervene except I had won the battle and they gave up their attempts to tape the man up and throw him in. I never knew that I had it in me to retaliate. Later one of the men in the group told me that there were 17 of them that I had stopped! Eeeeeeek
    I am not going to be looking forward to seeing them again.
    Dgd and I had a sleep earlier and then went out for food around 8.30.
    The streets are full off partying people. Men in girls swimming costumes seams to be a thing! Dgd asked me why? I said that they were just trying to be outrageous!
    We soon came back to the room.
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    I reckon you'll be glad to get home . As my mum used to say when the drink's in the wits out . One positive you know where to never stay again . Do be careful . We react sometimes without thinking of possible outcomes and taking on idiots doesn't always go well .
