This excursion is for those who love a bargain!!!

We are finally feeling caught up here at home. We LOVED our holiday in Portugal!! We had an amazing time and totally loved everything we saw and did there. I will be writing you a more detailed note later, when I get some time, but special thanks for suggesting the Paraiso de Albufeira... it was the PERFECT location! We could, indeed, walk everywhere... it was fantastic! The hotel apartamento was well-equipped and roomy... housekeeping service was excellent (we had to ask them not to give us so much service!)... the complex was lovely, including their wonderful outdoor pool (it opened on March 15 or so... but the water was too chilly to swim in until almost the end of the month). The front desk personnel were unbelievably helpful and friendly. The Merit Travel rep, Manuela Luis, was fabulous... she was very welcoming, helpful and supportive. Our weather was wonderful other than a few days of overcast drizzles (major rains only at night). We loved the Albufeira beaches... gorgeous! And we liked the fact that we were there off-season when it was quieter
