A short trip to the UK for family reasons last week but now I'm back and spending a good deal of time at my desk. 2010 dates and prices have to be confirmed this week as several travel companies are finalising their brochures ready for the printers. The policy is to try and keep the prices for most holidays the same as this year but the biggest headache is the price of fuel (in Portugal there has been a continuous price rise over the past weeks which has a knock on effect for transfers and transport costs).
