Lost on a desert island next week 🏝️

[lewys-gp]

... Channeling my inner Tom Hanks.

In all seriousness, though, I'll be away next week, between the 21-25 March.

Not exactly a desert island, but I am off to Tenerife (never been before) for just under a week 🇪🇸.

It'll be my first time abroad in one two three years. And if the weather holds up, it'll be my first warm holiday in about five years. My to-do list includes the following:

🏄  To survive surfing the waves

🍹 Drink some sickly and sweet cocktails

🌞 Actually, catch a tan too

Inbetween those plans, I'll also be doing some reading. I have a non-fiction already lined up, so if anyone has any fiction recommendations, I would love to hear them, please 📚!

Obviously, this means I won't be able to answer tags or messages right away. So, please, contact @RafaC or @Martin-O2 with any queries. If you do want to message me something, I'll likely get back to you on the 28th March 😁.

I hope you all have a great week. Looking forward to catching up on everything I miss 🤗.

Enjoy your holiday @lewys-gp but remember, unfortunately you have to come back. Have a good week in the sun 👍

Hope you have a great holiday @lewys-gp , and just remember - lots of sunscreen!!

[lewys-gp]

Cheers, both @gmarkj @BobM 😁. Hope you have good weeks too.

Your sunscreen comment just reminded me of this classic song I love, @gmarkj!

Have a great holiday @lewys-gp. My friends have their own apartment in Tenerife and have been there since late January. It hasn't been as warm there this winter but it's heating up now (which is such a shame as they travel back this week) 😂

Watch that first 0.5m of the sea - swimming in the Atlantic is all well and good, but even in July, only the upper 2-foot (or so) layer of water is warm... So if you tread water, it can feel a bit fresher around the, er, unmentionables and below. This was the southern part of the island, Los Cristianos. 

Enjoy the break, and if you need aftersun treatment, the Spanish-made "ISDIN" brand aftersun, spray or pump bottle, is to be recommended!

And sit on the left side of the plane, it's amazing to see Mt Teide towering above the plane as the pilot nudges around the volcano (extinct) towards the Sur Reina Sofìa TFS airport!

That's a shame for them, @Cleoriff 😅. Hopefully, I have some better luck.

And tips much appreciated, @pgn! I do need to check-in still, so will have a look at seating arrangements. Thanks 👍.

Have a great holiday @lewys-gp .

We`ll try [but no promises] to behave while you`re away on your escape from the mad house... err Community

😂! Cheers, @Mi-Amigo 🤗.
