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  Best feeling in the world

  the airport

[denboy]

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.

[Spike On Q]

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]

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!

I used to enjoy the "Wellcome" sign outside arrivals which advertised Fuerte beaches

or should that be "arivals"? 

[Brightspark]

Ha, had to dig deep into my facebook for this one but they did it in Gran Canaria too

[Super Simon Garner]

Having a walk on the beach and a swim in the sea .

[mickboy]

[Can the Man]

Opening the gates to my own paradise in Caleta

[PHo]

Taking my socks off and not putting them back on till departure!

[Mr Boo Boo]

Shorts on, sun cream on, then a nice cold beer

[Paddster]

Like Hev said - the sunshine hitting you when you walk through the doors exiting the airport.......

[isleswing]

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.

Isleswing, I know exactly what you mean, feel the same every time 

[Banzai]

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 !

[Fordyventura]

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!
