Payment Due Date: 31 st July 2017 Flight Details (We have booked this flight if you choose to join us on the same flight please book): Outbound Flight Sunday 24 th September, Flight No. ZB970, departing 07.00am - arriving 10.55am with Monarch Airlines. Return Flight Thursday 28 th September, Flight No. ZB971, 11.45am - landing 13.40pm. Payment info: M Nicklin Sort code Account Reference: Andalucia Your surname Michelle Proposes: If you want you can all travel together on the same flights and be collected at the airport together, this will save on transfer costs. This can be sorted out as flights become available to book which is over the summer The earlier you book your flight, generally the cheaper it is. Transfer time is 1 hour 45 minutes and should work out at no more than 40 per person (this is an overestimation at the moment). My partner wants to come but not do the sessions? If you want to take a non-participating party that is fine, you must share a double room and the price for the second person is 400. In the interest of fairness to all if your non-participating friend chooses to participate additional charges will be made. A Fun Idea... Michelle has travelled the world as you now and games are a really good way to break the ice, speak the common language and slip into that slower pace of life that comes with real unwinding. There will be a chance to play cards or board games if you like. Please bring cards or any games you want to teach Michelle she can get competitive however (but not where Yoga is concerned of course). You can see photos in our album on our Facebook site and videos on our You Tube channel (Sandstone Yoga & Pilates) but here are a few samples: Close to Nature
