Hello Vikki
I know this is very late and by know you have probably gone to Sceggy for your Hols
I am going in 2005 to have a long holiday and then to work to see me through.You sound just like me, really unsure on a lot of things.What i have been told by most people is that if you are going for 4-5 months like i intend to next year then £3500 should be more than enough and that was excuding if i worked.
Finf a simple,nice little appartment with good links for shops,beach and the essentials and you will be fine.
Its all about booking that flight.As soon as you have your ticket ordered things just fall in to place............so ive been told.
I am going on my own as it stands next year so if you are interested let me know.If you are unsure on anything else please ask as i have had all of my questions answered by the professionals.
