Although it wouldn't really surprise me to see it on the pointbreaks list!
Thanks, never knew it was closed. In that case anywhere on the M6 bar Haydock - never again!

I've got my last PB from the current list tomorrow in sunny Dumfries, I'm glad the hotel is at the top of a hill as that was another town that was flooded recently.

As I said, I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong ^

Probably my fault, as I rarely look before 1st. Probably why I miss out

In former Czechoslovakia. Brno is second largest city in Czech Republic, and Bratislava is the capital city of Slovakia, about 30 miles down river Danube from Vienna.

As an added bonus for me, I speak languages of both countries Not that the staff doesn't speak very good English (among other languages).

Obviously I missed that because I thought he was referring to some properties in Orlando which is where I originally said i wanted to see a PB, anywhere in Orlando!

The most you will get will be the new Holiday Inn Express Miami Airport on LeJeune Rd... and that only if they manage to cut the delay and open next month (it was supposed to be ready in December 2015 for the entire peak season, but in Miami every construction project is always late)

Shall we hold your funeral at the closest available PB hotel?

At this point, I will guess that the next list will not be available on Monday. It's more likely to come out later in the week.

Hehe ^. Hopefully they throw us (read: me?) a bone and at least give us a preview on Mon/Tue.

Thanks for your wonderful historical lists, by the way.
