Has anyone been on Saga holiday to Los Alamos Benidorm ?
Response from Retiredyorkie made on 28th Jun 2019 14:56:29
Hi Christiana - I have looked at this hotel both on the internet and Saga site I normally go to Benidorm either end of November or March time - having looked where it is situated decided it wasn't for me too much in the middle of the Levante area so have decided on the new one in Albir.

Hi LoveToWalk
Welcome to the site. It's not the easiest to navigate. If you go into My Account at top right and then view history, your postings should come up. Fingers crossed for you. Where are you based? I'm always interested in finding walking companions. If you're interested, please take a look at my profile. Otherwise, all the best on here. Regards Beauty.

Hi everybody I am a fit and full able 80 who enjoys travel I have been to Europe and Mexico this year as well as Croatia. I travelled alone but found times when I craved company to talk to and with a sense of humour, not to joined at the hip but to be a part of each others holiday, Whilst, if I'm honest, I prefer female company, I don;t really mind. Interested please contact me

Single supplement

I have booked to do an ebike tour in the Puglia region of Italy. The single supplement for 9 nights is 200 euro and the cycle company have charged 100 euro as Im a solo cyclist.
Are the these charges typical in Europe? I dont think single supplements apply in NZ.

Hi all,
Would like to find a travelling companion, initially for short breaks in UK/Europe, with a view to longer holidays around the world. I live in Cornwall, so ideally someone living in the west country would be ideal, but have car will travel. I'm male 68, fit, healthy, and want to see and experiece as much as I can. Would be nice to share the experiece.
Response from Dani made on 17th Jun 2019 12:48:28
Hello Rustler,
I’m in exactly the same position , looking for interesting company to enjoy short breaks and then hopefully longer trips to just about anywhere. I’m in Cheshire but drivings no issue. I just don’t want to waste time whilst I enjoy good health and I could be exploring the world.

Hi PugLover75. I am off to Palermo for a week in October flying out from Luton so not exactly looking for a travelling companion, but would love to have some company whilst exploring the city and surrounding area whilst there.

Hi All
I'm Looking to go to Costa Del Sol area for approx a week or 2 early September, flying from Birmingham.
I'm Male, straight guy, pretty chilled out and get on well with other people.
I like to chill out sometimes and explore at other times, no real fixed plans, just take it as it comes.
Anyone want to travel together, not really bothered if you're male/female, no preference on background either.
I like to enjoy a chilled out beer... or 2!
Maybe a glass on wine.
We don't need to be joined at the hip, be free to do your own thing anytime.
Happy Travels All
Just drop me a message and will reply as soon as I can
Thanks
Harvey

I arrive at Heathrow July3rd to start a 6 week sojourn in Europe.
My private messages on this site disappear after a few days....is that normal?

Response from Pooly made on 3rd Jun 2019 21:08:59
Chris,
This site is a little bonkers, anything can happen, but no, messages shouldn't disappear after a couple of days. They are probably somewhere floating in the ether.... They may well re-appear soon.
Response from kiwiguy made on 4th Jun 2019 04:10:28
Thanks for the reply...iv been told Im a little bonkers also so maybe I'm the problem 🙂

G'Day, I am a 70 yr old male living in PNG that has just grown up, I have been traveling solo for a few years now and not enjoying it as much as I should be, 2 years ago I traveled to Canada and learnt to snow ski and have been to NZ twice and Japan once to further my experience, still a beginner though.
I am planing on flying to Christchurch NZ in August then hire a 3 berth Campervan and travel to Queenstown stoping at Mt Hutt, Treble Cone, Cardrona then into Queenstown to ski both The Remarkables & Caronet Peak.
I usually stay in Holiday Parks and cook in the van but use the ablutions in the park.
I will be Flying into Christchurch from Brisbane around the 8th August and back to BNE on the 30th.
I am not looking for a cook or someone to look after me just a ski buddy, if you are interested contact me on [email protected]

Hello, my name is Ruth, I live in Hove, U.K. and I am 73. I am pretty fit and active. I spent three weeks away last winter in India (Kerala) and Sri Lanka. This year I would like to go away for longer during January/February. I have long wanted to go to Cuba and would like to find companions for a relaxed tour. I am also open to suggestions for other interesting places with a decent climate to spend a month or more away. I don't want a very hectic pace, but on the other hand I don't just want to hang out in a beach resort where there is little of local interest.
Any like minded travellers of either sex?

Hello there, I’m a widow in my sixties, slim and fit, daring myself to take my first holiday alone. A companion might be great if I can find someone independent and fun to come along. Destination open to suggestion. Gender unimportant, just a sense of humour required.
Response from Beauty made on 28th May 2019 15:57:40
Hi Dani
Welcome to the site....hope you meet many friendly contacts here. I'm always looking for new travel companions... Where are you based? All the best .
Response from Pooly made on 2nd Jun 2019 15:42:02
Hello Dani,
I'm a 72 year old man from Manchester, looking for a travel companion, do you have any destinations in mind? Where do you live? I posted my details here in March last year, if you care to scroll back that far!
All the best,
David
