Welcome to the forum and congrats on booking your first trip. I'm sure you'll have a fab time - please can you let us know what you thought of the trip when you get back?

Just one word of warning - make sure your handbag fastens securely and keep your purse or wallet in an inner compartment, well out of sight. It's a sad fact of life in many places nowadays that there are pickpockets about but it was the first time I'd come across them last year, when two people had their purses and sunglasses stolen from bags which weren't properly fastened. Don't let that put you off, just take the same precautions that you would in a busy place at home.

Have a lovely time.

Hi everyone, I'm a newbie, been hovering around for a few weeks and trying to pluck up the courage to book a holiday.  Well Ive done it and will be travelling from Leeds Bradford airport.  I feel a little bit nervous and also a bit excited -  and its only 4 weeks away!  I'm certainly looking forward to meeting some nice people and enjoying some sunshine.

Pat, hope you enjoy it. Ive booked to go in Sept so do let us know how you enjoyed it. Sue

I too always use a cross body bag as it is a bit safer than the other types. I know this restricts me from using some nice pretty bags, but I rather be safe than sorry.
