A few of us – both from Ireland and England are thinking of getting together for a week or weekend in Alicante. Jose has offered his house there free, and has access to other houses in the complex at a small price. I’ve had a look at Ryan Air (departing Dublin) for the weekend of 11th November and here’s how it looks:

Dublin – Alicante
Fri 11th Nov 16:00 57.99euro

Alicante – Dublin
Mon 14th Nov 20.35 57.99euro

Total for one person = 115.98euro
(Ryan Air only fly to Alicante on Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays.)

I have to get more information (transfers and costs, and if there is a possibility of getting a group booking) and will get back depending on the interest.

JewelintheCrown has offered to look after the UK side of things (flights etc) and will post info soon. I’m hoping that we can link the two posts together – otherwise it may get confusing

So if you are interested can you leave a message here please (whether you are living in the UK or Ireland).

So far those interested are:
Me Jose Katie123 Surrey + 3 and Anchorman. (8 members)

I would love to join you, but, I would have a problem with travelling as I need help....I am disabled and need a wheelchair for distances  Unless someone was kind enough to help me...I wouldn't be able to manage!!! Other than that, I'm no trouble  

[Graham1]

Hi Dizzy. I am not sure yet if I am able to go but if I do I would gladly help as I would have to travel from East Anglia to Gatwick via the M25 which is fairly near to your location and I have a car big enough to take a wheelchair. I will let you know as soon as I do if I am able to go. I have caring responsibilities at home so I need to get cover to enable me to go anywhere.

[joanna1]

Jose968, thank you for attending our meet last night. I do hope you got back to Newbridge safely.

Here is some more information re the holiday homes:

(1). Bedrooms are on the first floor and basement level
(2). Front door is accessible by three steps.
(3).Toilet and shower on ground floor
(4).Sun beds are on flat roof

Jose968 kindly gave me some large photo’s of the housing complex and surrounding areas – I will get to scan them in later today (I hope).

It has been suggested that we have a pre meet for our trip to Alicante. So I’m thinking sometime in October. (Any excuse for a social!) haha!!

Hi Cliath and everyone intending to travel, to add to your last post regarding the House,: there is also a bathroom on the first floor , I am going out there on 23rd August so if I had definite numbers by then , I could start organizing the houses. Also i will enquire about apartments nearby with ground floor bedrooms and ease of access for wheelchairs. It is essential that I have enough info early.Best regards Jose
