- It’s all booked! So here’s a cost of all our plans and comparison to last winters costs for 12 weeks abroad. We may also be taking a cheeky additional 2 weeks to Turkey in October. Tips & tricks how we get good deals.
So good to have you both back…lots of laughter, as always and very informative…thank you.
Thanks x
Another great video. An extra cheeky two weeks in Turkey. An extra 2 weeks San Miguel for Mark. 😄😁. An extra two weeks videos for us to enjoy. Every body wins. Lovely to see you both again.xx❤😎
I know I can resist everything except temptation 😀
Fantastic 🎉very exciting can’t wait love your vlogs ❤️ both still looking tanned and well 🙂 enjoy your summer 🙏🏻 for lots of 🌞 😎 P.S. We went to Turkey mid October the weather was fab 🌞
Yes we’ve been watching vlogs of Turkey in October looks really hot Kas looks amazing but love Ola Denis x
Our 3 month trip to Benidorm with caravan, tolls, sites, eating out, Eurotunnel, diesel came out at £8000 ish :/ It's getting more expensive but we eat and drink out a lot. It's a very sociable lifestyle. Have booked again for this coming December, You inspired us! x
That’s not bad and if you enjoy it why not 😀 we loved the towing to Spain and we had our dog but now it’s nice for Mark to have a complete break as we live in caravan through the season.. no potty or water patrol in The Canaries 🙃 xx
Hiya your travels and holidays good budget . great see u both Lovey's. 😊 from Karen looking forward your vblogs. As tips for our holidays x
Thanks so much! 😊
Good shout with Cabin Max bags. I love mine and the zip is sturdy.
Good to hear I did read reviews seem to be a good make if all goes to plan we are going on 9 flights need to be strong 😄
Interesting plans Judy and Mark. On Turkey, you are correct in that you are up the steep hill from Olu Deniz. However, when I was last there, dolmus (shared minibuses) were always travelling up and down. One benefit from leaving the EU is that U.K. tourists no longer need a visa to enter Turkey.
Yes we read re visa as always used to have to buy one at airport.. yes been many times to Turkey although think we last went about 10 years ago .. but do love Fethiye area the best stunning area and the lagoon it’s just fab
You two are Fabulous, living life to the max, which to be fair, that's what it's all about. Wish I could do what you guys do, but anyhow, just wanted to wish you both happy travels...🥰🇬🇧🐾🐾🧚🎃
Thanks hope you’ll be watching through the winter will give you a wave 👋
❤❤❤❤❤ omg hi guys I've missed you hope your both good you both look well x omg your cottage its amazing well cosy love it ❤glad your back its not been the same without your videos weather here in richmond has been pants hope your weather in Wales is better than ours ❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks but we need to work to save up to do it all over again! Not long now xx
A great update, and I know you’re already getting excited about your forthcoming travels. Don’t work too hard and don’t get wrinkly by spending too much time in your hot tub. Thanks Judy and Mark.
Too late for that already wrinkly 😀…yes always got to have a holiday booked x
Amazing price for all of that, well done! Might see you in Tenerife
Lovely to see you again Judy & Mark, hope you're keeping well! Thanks for sharing your budgets this is super helpful! The daily blogs from October sound awesome! Your travel plans are brilliant, keep it up!
Hi you how are you can u hear me laughing from Wales 😂 yes really looking forward to it the year is flying by already x
Great thanks, off to get more sun soon! Yes I'll never forget hearing you laughing halfway down the street, what a magical moment in Lanzarote! Mark was having a cheeky can of San Miguel that day!
Enjoy the sun we’ve forgotten what it looks like 😂 xx
Good to hear from you both again.I always buy quality luggage,I learnt my lesson many years ago when I was young and naive,when I was travelling from Glasgow back to Yorkshire, with quite a lot of luggage,(I'd been away 7 months)My taxi arrived to take me to the train station,and to my horror,my suitcase handle came away!! with help I managed to get it taped up,to get me home via 2 trains..
Yes that’s happened to us with trolley bag in Tenerife airport handle came off as going down an escalator and bounced down to bottom .. hand luggage only now less bags less stress! We used to take 2 x 23kg 2 x trolley bags and 2 hand luggage and only wear half of it! Never again x
Doesn’t time fly . Looking forward to your vlogs when you’re off .
Lots of work before then , but definitely better than working all year round. Take care you both 👌
Thanks 👍
Have a great summer. So look forward to your winter vlogs.
Thanks Heather x
Well you both look really well and hope you both have a great time when you go away
Feeling very pale 😂 I’m sure we will have a fab time I love the planning & saving as much as the actual holiday 😁 Mark looks forward to his San Miguel in the sun x
Sounds like a military operation, but a lot more fun. We’re in Tenerife at the mo. Weather haas been great. Need to book for January 25. Chicken in Adeje last night. Car hire was incredibly cheap £75 for 16 days…
I know it’s have to write everything down or I can’t rem where we’re going on what date or from what airport! Can’t beat Adeje chicken up on the mountain… wow great car hire price who’s that with? X
I’ve got a Cabin Max bag. It is fabulous ! In terms of your costs last year, it’s even less expensive when you think how much you would have spent at home, as you indicate. I too am looking at Tenerife flights from Manchester for end January. See you there!
Yes our cottage is old and very expensive to heat can do £10 of logs in a day probably not the ideal choice of home for doing this but we bought it before I’d had this idea of lifestyle.. but we do love the cottage but it can be a headache .. hold out till mid May for flights if it goes as last year did they should drop x
Still going back through your old ones and looking where we can go in July when we stay at Costa Teguise. Can't wait to visit Puerto Del Carmen and look around where you vlog! Let's hope the buses are reliable 😉😂
Hi the buses are reliable but do get very full at peak times .. car hire is reasonable and we use Cicar but book asap to secure good price online and pay when collect.. PDC has loads to offer especially old town.. enjoy yourselves x
So sory mark for your lost of your mum and Judy to sad news love you yiu both lol Veryan Steve xx
Good one folks I'm staying Los Lomas again Dec, xciting year 4 yous 😊

Great informative vlog! I never know when is the best time to book flights, thank you Judy and Mark ❤
Just info we’ve learnt over the years of doing this.. I write everything down so it’s good to refer back too, I also do projected forecasts to see how much we need to save over the 6 months.. no idea why I do this now never did before and I hated maths 😂
It's your passion Judy! 😊 xx
Your cottage looks beautiful ❤Great vlog and exciting adventures ahead. 🌞xx
Thanks so much! 😊 x

£1700….3Months in Thailand….Incl Flights&4*Apt.Roof Top Pool,2mins Beach.Beat That!😎😉
Sadly we are unable to travel to Thailand or any long haul due to elderly parents
Sounds brilliant folks, well jealous 😊
Fingers crossed it all goes to plan x
Highly recommend Nordace Siena II backpacks. Not the cheapest but excellent capacity and quality
We’ve ordered them now arriving this week hopefully better than the last ones x
Hi guys, great to see you again,so what dates are you in Lanzarote ? 😊
Thanks for the updates 😅
Most of Dec except Xmas… Feb till March x
We could do with you being the Chancellor Julie,you would save the country billions of you were in charge of the budget 😄😄Some amazing prices there .😁😁👍👍
It Judy 😂.. not in to politics at all there all a bunch of **** … I’ll leave it there.. 🥹 I love the planning and saving as much as the holiday Mark just turns up at the airport xx
Great to see you two love ola deniz
Yes love the lagoon and the side that’s free or used to be x
What’s the name of the apartment in lanzarote please and where are they located ?
It is called Red Apartment on booking.com its near Biosfera shopping centre x see vlog of a tour of the apartment filmed in January
@@gypsysoulsjudymark.escapet7388 Thankyou
wish my job was seasonal and a wife that was willing think I could manage that as I'm a great saver.... thank you
Fair play John I’ve always tried to be good with money but I wish I’d started doing it sooner and not wasted money so much over the years but better late than never.. I rather like being a tight arse 😁
I briefly worked in hotels...you would not believe how badly people treat other persons or businesses property. Sounds like a plan but keep in mind that Turkey is not Spain. I look forwards to the videos. Sadly will not be able to make it to Kennex this summer but I am no camper so it would be a day thing anyway.
Yes we love Turkey so know it well been many times x
Good stuff. The world is a turnin so things are a changing.
I trained in Hotels as receptionist so worked for Hilton and yes I know too well the state people leaves rooms in … I see what they do to campsite facilities too .. I’m always ranting about it 😂
I was corporate before starting a business and was mainly in the booking and management side but yes, appauling. Shame to hear the same about your campsite!
Not so much this campsite very occasionally but our first post as wardens it was horrific x
Hey guys! This sounds amazing, im so envious! I'm currently in PDC and it's HOT 🔥 Had a walk pass Red apartment, which looked fab 👌🏼 can't wait to see what you guys get up to xx😢xx
Enjoy we have sunshine in Wales today xx
That's amazing
We’re chuffed x
What apartments are you staying in at tenerife 😊
owned by holiday company in Costa Adeje not sure of complex name booked on booking.com x
I meant Hisoranou is up a steep hill!
intrsting
Which apartments in tenerife think I missed that?
It’s private apartment rented by a company by Aqualand Costa Adeje 😃
Next to Hemingway’s yummy
I got a place in turkey if you need the lowdown
Thanks x
How do you both manage with just hand luggage?
It’s easy did it all last winter but apartment s have washing machines long stay ones x
Do you book just the standard travel light ticket or standard plus?.. Thanks to you both love your youtube content ❤
Just the basic ticket price with the free bag.. we’ve also learnt that EasyJet are best as they sit you together if you on one booking so you don’t have to buy a seat whereas Ryan air don’t so you feel obliged to buy a seat …scare tactics
Thank you for your reply, We will have to start bag packing practice 😂❤
I’ve tried rolling clothes but I don’t get on with that method although rolling Marks denim shorts etc helps. I iron it all flat and then fold flat and small.. flip flops at bottom.. we wear clothes we’d wear on holiday to travel in and pack a macs with deep pockets as we fill them up with plastic food bags with all phone charges plugs wires etc so saves room in rucksack.. try get all toiletries airside from Boots but tbh will just get them when we arrive this time x
Details of apt please
Which one? X
So all in , over 16 weeks about £2750 per month 🤔👍🎉
£324 per week / £1295 per month all in total cost £5183 for 16 weeks
Does that include the daily amount for food etc ?
£2k! More like 5k for a family in August…
Is it really!! When my kids were little along time ago..we used to allow £500 a week for all food etc.. wouldn’t last 5 mins for a family these days
Hi Guys what dates are you both in Tenerife ❤
Dec 31ST to Feb 10th x
Bargain prices !!!! We paid just shy of £1000 for 4 nights in Benidorm !!
What!! But as long as you had a great time we loved Benidorm 🤨
It's one of our favourite places & l do like nice hotels overlooking the sea with private balcony plus we did go half board & paid extra for nice time flights/extra leg room seats/transfers & from Birmingham so we did have a lot of extras & had a fab time 😊
great vid
Thanks x
