Getting the shorts on and getting out into the sun
Getting the shorts
off and getting out into the sun!
Wearing a tee shirt and not a woolly jumper ;D
Walking through the automatic doors at the airport and into that Fuerty sunshine has to be the best feeling ever...and seeing my little grandson who lives in Caleta run up to me shouting "Grandma, you're here !!!" with a huge grin and throwing his arms around me ;D ;D 8) Best feeling in the world :)
:o the airport
I agree with Hev.Walking through the automatic doors,the sunshine hitting you,followed by that feeling of coming home in the taxi.Can,t beat the feeling. :) 8)
Getting my thermals on, a thick sweater, scarf and gloves, wellies, sou'wester, snow shoes maybe, double glue the syrup - oh for a bit of Ice, Wind and Snow! [I loved their hit - Boogie Wonderland 1979]
Getting naked in the warm sunshine.
Passing elephant mountain and catching your first sight of the dunes
getting to my house from the airport having not been stopped by the police.
Then shorts on and beer out in that order.
Crack open a cold beer and book a table at Nestors
Nott Red reminds me: Then a trip the The King Billy in Manvers Street for a pint of REAL English ale and a local Stilton and red onion cob - HEAVEN!
A Bar that has Traditional Sunday Lunch and Happy Hour, followed by Karaoke 8)
I used to enjoy the "Wellcome" sign outside arrivals which advertised Fuerte beaches
or should that be "arivals"? :D
Ha, had to dig deep into my facebook for this one but they did it in Gran Canaria too

Having a walk on the beach and a swim in the sea .
Skinny dipping :)
The drive north to Corallejo enjoying the scenery and thinking about how relaxing it is to be back ;D
Opening the gates to my own paradise in Caleta
Taking my socks off and not putting them back on till departure!
Shorts on, sun cream on, then a nice cold beer
Like Hev said - the sunshine hitting you when you walk through the doors exiting the airport....... 8)
When some flights didn't use the jetty, but parked further out, stepping out through the door into the open-air oven gave the most wonderful sense of arrival. Then you had the walk or bus ride to the terminal and another half hour or more inside,but you really knew you'd arrived.
For me now, it's when we've got the hire car out of the car park, round the first 2 - or is it 3? roundabouts and on to the open road. The airport (and all the travelling) has gone from the rear view, up through the rock cutting and down the hill. The view opens up, Playa Blanca just ahead and below, the sea behind, the coast beyond Rosario.
That's the moment I feel that I'm On Holiday.
btw This year, yet again we didn't get round to actually visiting Playa Blanca. Maybe next year.
Getting my shorts on and getting to the bar for that first beer....
Wish i was still there :'(

Isleswing, I know exactly what you mean, feel the same every time 8) 8) 8)
Feeling the heat as plane door opens and getting into the sea after checking into hotel.......the lovely smell of the Island that goes home with you in the suitcase !
Dumping the bags in the apartment,having a quick shower and change then out down town.Leave the hire car in Caleta.Let the first night fever begin!
