Thelma without Louise...but with The Chuckle Brothers.....
« on: August 14, 2016, 09:42:01 PM »
Me again! Very very fortunate to be making my second trip in 6 weeks!  You may recall I visited in July with a friend who LOVED  Kalkan.  She has not stopped hounding me to visit again so a trip next June is currently on the cards!

Anyhow, a different friend (yes, I have more than one!) asked me to help her book a holiday in Kalkan and you beautiful people offered such amazing accomodation prices that me ' D and M decided we would come out after all!  So, we head out on Wednesday and my friend and her family on Saturday.  They have a gorgeous villa up near the market and we are in our usual digs! Sorted.

We are travelling out with just hand luggage as i left loads of stuff there in July, so i have done a trial pack and we are in good shape! We are flying home with Turkish Airlines so have massive luggage allowance on the way home.

2 days at work to endure...see you on the other side!

Left luggage will be waiting in the apartment for your arrival. Wish I was going to Kalkan on Wednesday.

Ooh I bet you're excited Haybo. Well done on packing light. Maybe it's easier with blokes but I can't imagine me and my girls managing with just hand luggage. Well done!  :) :)

No, there's absolutely no way I could pack for a fortnight with hand luggage....I'm in awe :)
Not long now Haybo...
Better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt :)

All Hayley's clothes, toiletries, water hammock, etc are already in Kalkan, she didn't take them home when she left in July. It's her family that are managing with hand luggage!

Well..in my defence.........either i brought most of my clothes home OR i might have picked up the odd new item in the last few weeks! I still have a decent pile of stuff! Hopefully i will be surprised to be reunited with some things!

But yes, flippers, snorkels, toiletries, wash powder, dishwasher tabs, sun cream, filter coffee, medicines, towels etc are languishing under the pool! I can't wait to meet up with my water hammock! 2 sleeps x

Well done and excellent planning Haybo!
K4E, I'm sorry to say but I don't think you could manage it.....you'd need one bag for all your blingy sandals!  :laugh:

My mother in law is going on a cruise and they have 60kg luggage allowance - BH thinks I could fill this no problem, so perhaps you're right Babs  :-*

So, today's the day! Woke at 6 and leapt out of bed in a bit of a panic.  When I went out in July, I decided to lock my cases....never normally do that, and then decided to lock the bag i was leaving behind.  I had a big wobble about whether I would remember to bring them back with me...but thought. "How hard can it be to remember a set of keys" ? Anywho, a week or so ago, I thought " better put those keys in a safe place" buy yes, you've guessed it I couldn't find the blessed things! I rang my friend to see if she remembered what l'd done with them, I contacted a friend who is at Emir to get her to look in the bag to see if I had actually locked it......then I found the keys EXACTLY where they should have been...where i had checked 3 times!!!

But this morning I had no idea where they were, so I crashed about a bit until D decided to get involved! Thankfully He found them under the bed in the spare room , where I was packing...he is now in charge of the keys as they are my Nemesis!

So today....bit of last minute housework, drop the dog at his digs for the next week or so, chivvy D abp d M to get ready, then we will be on our way!

This time tomorrow me and my water hammock will be bobbing around in the Emir pool...unless I score a nail appointment early!

Later people!

A-a-a-a-h, keys that slip through wormholes in the space-time continuum and reappear later in the same place, a familiar tale to us all.

We cured it by buying a lockable key case/box thing that goes on the wall somewhere (available from locksmiths, Amazon and that bloke on the market!).  Apart from preventing someone unauthorised nicking the car keys, it provides a single, identifiable place where the keys will be (once you get in the habit).

I suspect it prevents quantum physics from taking place, a bit like a Faraday Cage.

I commend it to the forum.

Only one key and as part of a ritual, it always has the same home (not saying where…)

You can get combination ones - all you have to do is remember the number.

They will probably have one you can open by smartphone app soon, just like doorbells!
