Hi Joan and All

I am not on this trip, Having Just returned from Austria, However I was on this trip back in April over Easter, And I think you have picked a good place, Although the weather was not on our side, There were plenty to get involved with within the Hotel complex. I am sure you wont be on your own. I expect there will be at least 35 folk or so accompanying you. A point to note, Not everyone that is travelling with you, will use these forums, And going by my experience perhaps pnly about 4 or 5 people from your trip may use it. You could also ask Olly the editor as to how many fellow travellers are going with you, which should put your mind at ease. A word of warning, and not wishing to frighten you. If you use the taxis to and from your hotel to any of the towns, Particular on return, Be sure to ask a price before getting in, And if possible fill it with the maximun number of people allowed.

Have a great trip

Andy

Hi Joan

With regards to your baggage and airlines, I think it maybe a good idea to contact Olly the editior on this issue, As i dont really know your travel arrangements and he will be more qualified than me to answer it, I had a BA flight from Glasgow to Gatwick and reclaimed my bags as I was using two different airlines., And then checked them through again at Gatwick as we were going via Bulgarian Airways. But please contact Olly on this.

With regards to currency, As you are going all inclusive I just took Bulgarian Lev money with me, However there are many exchange places in the local town, I also believe the hotel will also change sterling. However i would tread carefully when using some of the exchange shops particularly in the local town of old Nessebar. The rooms do have safes in them and cost about £1 per day if required. You will find that in the town and the country in general it is relatively cheap compared to the UK, For example in the town you can get the equivelent of a pint of beer for about 70p, However that is the local beer, But if you go for the imported beers like Tuborg etc it will be about £2. still cheap to UK prices. Food in town if you want a change from the inclusive cuisine is very cheap indeed.

I hope this helps

and if i remember anything else I will be sure to let you know

Andy
