    There are 2 new ferries from Plymouth and they are HUGE! You'd have to have a bad phobia to be scared being on one of those. They've happily got rid of the old one that used to make 95% of the passangers puke

            • Thank you Bob, no probs - I'm sure I've missed congratulating a few MOM's too
              Glad to hear that you are home even if it doesn't mean that you are making a palace for us lot in your attic. 'spect Mme Pastis has already picked out the curtains
              I am imagining a big heart shaped bed with drapes hanging from the ceiling, an en suite jacuzzi, big flat screen built in to the wall..... am I close?

              • We would be arriving on the way back from Spain, probably teatime-ish on the Friday, and heading for an overnight boat on the Monday.
                I would recommend crossing overnight for those who don't 'do' boats well. Britany Ferries have decent cabins that are not too expensive, and you simply sleep away the bother.
                BTW, I do a pretty good paella (my own version, not exactly like any of the thousands of variants you might get in Spain) and while I have not yet tested the idea, I am confident of being able to do a paella-inspired vegetarian dish if anyone would like me to try. I can certainly do a 'Spanish risotto', without fish/seafood for anyone who fancies the idea but has problems with these ingredients. Prior warning and appropriate sized cooking vessel(s) needed if this is wanted.

                        • Not going to be able to make this one after all, cost of three passports, travelling costs etc etc, on top of a wedding in April.
                          Hope you all have a super time.

                          • Passports are getting VERY expensive. Mine needs renewing before Vinstock, but I had planned that anyway (in fact have the application form beside me right now) £77.50. plus photos is a lot to just issue a new one from 'this date onwards' for 10 years.

                              • Thing is I have only been abroad twice in my life so getting a passport if we only use it once seems a bit pricey.
