Holiday Village - 3rd July 2008 - anyone else?

i can't wait now - kids are counting down so i know its 29 days lol

Hi I go on the 7th : )

great will have to say hi - there's me (Bonnie) and my mate (Niki), my son Ash (16) and daughter Sophie (14) - am sure you'll notice us lol

Hi we go on the 30th June -15th July ! You'll probably see us about(wife and 2 kids,Scotland tops and all!! )

excellent - will look out for the scots and interrogate them when we find them to see if they are you (did that make sense?) lol

It didnt make a lot of sense but i kinda knew what you meant !!!!

We'll be there from 28th June (first day after the schools stop in Scotland).
There'll be four of us staying in a Kids Den room in HV.

Can't wait !

Hope to see you their daveboy, make sure the beers cold and the vodka is up to scratch for our arrival on 30th June !!

Cheers, Bob - I'll try and leave some for your arrival !!

will there be any left for us then if we arrive on the 3rd? lol

and for me on the 7th?

we should all wear a badge to say we've been on this forum then we'll know each other lol

LOL yeah good idea,

cant miss me little bloke with a very big friend. probebly throwing a ball at each other in the pool

i got me and wife with 2 kids and my friend and wife with young child.

Oh I feel out of this now wish I was going back.
I knew a couple of people from this site where there at the same time as us and would have liked to have said hello

Think we should wear pink shirts with fake moustaches so we can identify who we are........in fact on second thoughts that would look a bit too dodgy !!!!
Maybe something a little bit more low key....any suggestions ?
PS Lynne take it everything was ok ? Read a few not so good reports about not enough drink and poor quality a food ?

Don't believe everything you read. Some people are just too picky. You'll love it. It's the first holiday I've come back from and want to book again, I like to try different places.

The bar never ran dry although not a great selection of spirits, whiskey vodka gin ok can't remember seeing bacardi. The food was plentiful and tasty and lots of choice. Candy floss and pop corn for sale by the bar at night. There is a shop that sells crisp/pringles and chocolate.

we'll be easy to find - we have pics on the gallery on here so am trusting you'll introduce yourselves - after all you'll be well settled in byh the time we get there - greg too i think

failing that - we'll probably end up meeting through the kids (although mine are older no doubt you'll hear me shouting at them "Ashley, Sophie STOP ARGUING!"

Lol bonkers i have 2 teenage daughters who always argue you will just hear me shouting vanessa and gabby shut up for gods sake

Wish I was going back - not fair. Can i suggest that if any of you lucky people going in the future if you do want to meet up I would suggest you make definate arrangements beforehand (eg palace or tropical reception at a certain time) otherwise the chances of 'bumping' into each other are slim. There must be over 1000 people there! I was chatting to a few people before I went but never saw them to my knowledge.

I'll also be there between the 5-19th July with my husband son and niece and belive me you hear us before you see us !!!!!

Cant wait the count down begins

M xx

p.s why dont we were pink ribbon round our wrists ??

pink ribbon is a good idea - if everyone is up for it i'll get some this week - at least we can then identify ourselves from the boring people lol

seeing as there's at least 5 members and families (bonkers40, greg, BobBowie, DaveBhoy and maureenm) going to be there at the same time, who's up for wearing the pink ribbon maureenm suggested - if not any other ideas

it would just be fun to say hi dontcha think?

Hi everyone.....

I stumbled across this forum whilst researching HV and Sarigerme....So I thought I would drop in and say HELLO!!!!

I'm going on the 30th June until 14th July...I fly from Doncaster airport at 7am!!! So a nice early start for me.... lol....

Originally I was going with my daughter and my friend and her son, but my mate is a little lax and has left getting her passport until 2 and a half weeks before we fly!!!! She has never had an adult or child passport before, which means it takes 6 weeks for it to go through the process, so this now means that I am going on my own with my daughter...little apprehensive about going on my own, as I have never been on holiday on my own before, am hoping that I meet some new people and am not stuck with my 8 year old for company for 2 weeks..however nice to spend the time with her, it might just drive me mad...lol..... yet the excitement is taking over now, and I'm on serious countdown now......lol...... I am really looking forward to it.....

Well I hope to see some of you out there by the pool/bar.......

Mich

Pink ribbons, eh ?
I'll see what I've got kicking around - would be good to put some faces to names !

well i'm sure we'll all be wearing wristbands anyway so a bit of ribbon on the same wrist isn't going to be too much trouble

can just imagine staring at people wrists all week lol

hope you guys going tomorrow and sunday have remembered your pink ribbon

We're heading south in 5 hours - night in Manchester first.

Ribboned up and raring to go....

leave them on for when i get there on the 7th lol, i best not wear one my daughters said i will look a bit strange wearing a pink ribbon, i did not tell them it was on the wrist

Will see what the Bowie's can russle up for when we leave on Monday !!!
If in doubt look for the Scots with vodka and cokes in hand !!!

less than 48 hours for us - cant wait now

got my pink ribbon too lol

home now - looks like i was the only plum to wear pink ribbon lol

12 days to go

Bonkers40,
I managed to keep the ribbon on for, maybe, 2 days before "accidentally" forgetting to put it back on again.
Must've failed to spot you anyhow - not really surprising --- its HUGE.

Hope you had a great time - we certainly did. Great service in the Hotel and in Osmaniye town. Sarigerme tours, Sarigerme Diving Centre, Apo for the Jeep safari, the Paradise steak house and restaurant and the Sarigerme Bar- cheers folks.

we were on the orange side - 3131 - spent our time round the main pool on the orange side with the blue and white slides

where were you?

That'll be why we missed you - opposite sides !!

We were Blue 3033, and spent our Hotel days at either the Spa pool or Main pool (just around the Towel Hut on the Blue side).
Only crossed to the pools on the "Dark Side" on the Thursday before we left (and only for an hour then). Kids much preferred the pools on the Blue side, and we all felt the feeding arrangements were a touch better - possibly just what we were used to.

Oh, and we saw the Turkish night on the Friday before we left indoors at the Orange side. And yeah, I ended up on the stage !!

I was on the Orange side and found it much better i suppose people get used to where they land, the blue side felt a bit more busy.

Hi

Has anyone got any pictures of their hols in Sarigerme, I am off there in September so just interested in what it looks like now.

Thanks
