Visitors!

My old friends Jean and Myra have arrived in Spain.  They flew in to Alicante Airport on Tuesday for a two week holiday in Benidorm.  Things didn't quite turn out how they should have done however.  

When they finally got to Benidorm, the hotel they booked, knew nothing about their reservations.  It seemed that Myra had paid the cost of the hotel to an unscrupulous person, who took her money and ran.  I've heard about that sort of thing before.

I had a frantic phone call from Myra, asking if they could stay with me in Alicante, at least for a period, while she sorted out the implications of what had happened.  Since I was travelling to see them in Benidorm anyway, I agreed to put them up, for as long as they need!

It is actually great having some old friends, here in Spain.  Me and Jean go back at least twenty years, having worked together in Southampton. We were talking about the old times, last night, while getting to the bottom of a bottle of vodka on the terrace.  

Catching up with the important people in ones life is a must.  Many of the fond memories they mentioned, I had forgotten, but immediately I heard them, they came flooding back.  It's wonderful to have them both here!
