Does money really matter???

We are due out to coral bay in the middle of may and money was not really an issue untill our parents decided they would like to come,BUT with the use of the internet we managed to find very resonable flights,a good deal on a villa and car.



So the savings that we have made will effectively pay for the first week and that includes playing golf,



You cannot put a price on food and drink whilst on holiday otherwise its not a holiday you also cannot put a price on feeling warm in the sunshine this is always good for your health.



Just try and use the internet to its full potential and this will hopefully pay for a good portion of your finances on holiday,Times are hard but try to enjoy life, you never know whats round the corner.



see you all in paphos in 6 weeks.

What a nice positive attitude - are you as sweet and cuddly as your namesake ?!! We were nearly put off visiting Cyprus last year, but managed to get a deal only slightly dearer than the year before. The prices, with the introduction of the Euro, were a bit higher but then again they were at home too.



We had a lovely time- we will probably have second thought again this year but we always feel so much better after some autumn sun.....and, as you say, you never know.

What a great attitude Hairy,We too nearly did%26#39;t book for Cyprus this year then thought what the hell as we%26#39;ve got a couple of big birthdays lets celebrate in style it%26#39;s only money! So have a lovely holiday and roll on September when I will be back in Paphos.




|||



Couldn%26#39;t agree more hairy.





I know the cost of holidaying has gone up for us Brits in the Eurozone but, if you are resourceful and don%26#39;t mind doing a bit of legwork it can still be done.





I know one member who is going to Cyprus this year on a limited budget and intends on making the most of the self catering facilities at the accommodation. Is there anything nicer than sitting under the shade out of the afternoon sun, drinking wine and enjoying a barbecue lunch with family?





I don%26#39;t go on holiday to save up (I do that for the remaining 50 weeks of the year) but if I had to I would forfeit eating out in restaurants and drinking in bars just to be in the sun with my lovely family.




|||



Couldn%26#39;t have put it better folks! A holiday is what you make it with the resources you have. The absolute joy of lying under a blue Cypriot sky with the warmth of the sun on your face, carton of wine by your side, fetta, tomatoes, bread and olives - bliss!

Stop it Kath - I am drooling over the porridge !!!!

Totally agree with all the postings here. Yes, it%26#39;s been nice over the years to go on holiday and find prices for food and drink at half those of the UK but is this why we really go away?





For me no, it%26#39;s about relaxing with the family in the sunshine forgetting about all the normal stress of life in the UK.





If you need to keep costs down then self catering seems a good idea and eat the odd meal at your villa/apartment.





We arrive in Paphos for our first visit now in just under 5 weeks and can%26#39;t wait.




|||



We%26#39;re off to Cyprus in four weeks and can%26#39;t wait either. A bit or research on the internet pays dividends. The only thing I%26#39;m not finding much of a deal on is car hire. It%26#39;s me, my wife and our 2year old son, so we need a bit of space in it. Any ideas anyone?




|||



Hi James I found the best deal for car hire with economycarrentals.com and if you join thier members club you can save on different areas in the world and get preferencial treatment.all the best ray




|||



Great attitude folks. Come over and spend, spend, spend. You will be helping Cyprus, me, and enjoying yourself into the bargain.



I%26#39;m with Kath on Feta, toms, village bread, olives, and of course olive oil.All under a blue sky with a shining sun.

And a frappe!!!
