Twit-Who,
Holiday was fine in Mexico. We stayed at RIU Yucatan, hotel fine, lots of wild-life, excluding other guests! There were monkeys in the trees, do not walk under them! Also agoutis, coatis, squirrels, with much bushier tails than at home, we also saw a toucan, sans Guinness and some flamingos! Last time we were in Mexico at the Gran Bahia Principe in Riviera Maya there were iguanas all over the place, only saw 1 this time.
Unfortunately this year we were unable to book into the Premium section of the plane, but even in cattleclass the legroom on the Dreamliner was OK. We did book into the VIP lounge at Cancun airport, once in resort. That cost around £20.00 each, but it meant we checked in as Premium Seat travellers, and got all food and drinks FOC in the VIP Lounge! I did manage to do some serious damage to a bottle of scotch in there, resulting in around 4 hours sleep on the flight home! As a Telegraph subscriber, I always book us into the Servisair lounge at Gatwick, a 2 for 1 arrangement! So for £17.49 for both of us a far more relaxing environment, with compilmentary food and drink and as the flights are announced a bit later than in the main lounge, there have been times when we have arrived at the gate and not had time to sit down before being called forward to board the plane!
