Good luck! It is quite exciting to wait for the 22nd of December, isn't it?

Re: El Gorda
Well, it does seem that accessing the Elgorda site from the U.K. brings up one with double the cost of tickets all round, I have tried a computer at an internet cafe, and got the same result, and as you see NicCol also agrees, I am going to phone them to find out why they are doing this . UPDATE, Have just spoken to someone at Elgordo, and they say its VERY expensive to process an application, and arrange banking for customers from outside Spain, plus, there are a few other things that they do , that they don`t have to do for Spanish customers, ( in Spain they pay a 15 0/0 charge ) and that`s why they charge double, People who have an NIE , and access the site from abroard can get these tickets at the Spanish price if they inform the site organisers ! !
