Local business owner :roll:

Please God it doesnt affect travel in Europe--we dont travel out till end August (by car)--so we hope all will be well --we always use channel tunnel and love our journey across France & Spain.Sincerely hope that travellers to Algarve will be able to travel as per usual from now till then,whether by air or road and i wish you all a safe trip to our favourite Spot! Ellie.

We have a holiday planned for late May to Cyprus and Carvoeiro in September and do not intend to cancel unless forced to do so.

I think that life needs to go on as normal as possible, although the problems cannot be ignored. Lets hope that this situation can be sorted as soon as possible for every ones sake.

just like to say AMEN to lens remarks -we have to try to carry on as normal as possible.

I for one will definatly not cancel unless forced to do so, Ive been looking forward to coming out for so long. I just cant wait to be sitting in HAPPYS eating my favorite chicken piri-piri kebab watching the world go by the window.Roll on 26th June!!!!!!

I agree Loretta....I have been looking forward to my holiday in Carvoeiro with my family and my friend and her family for sooooooo long ....it will take alot for us to consider cancelling ..........maybe that sounds a bit foolish.....but as alot of you have said, life needs to go on a normally as possible..........

Btw...I love the web cam feature .........as I have never been to Carvoerio it gives me a real feeling of whats going on...thanks!!

We are already starting to see reports of new spam email and of email viruses using references to the events in Iraq to encourage people to open emails they would normally ignore.

For example, the Ganda worm currently being reported in the media comes as an e-mail attachment with subject lines such as "Spy pics" and "GO USA !!!!".

Some emails claim to contain pictures of Iraq taken by spy satellites and others offer screensavers mocking President Bush.

It is likely that others will seek to exploit the world-wide interest in this regrettable situation in a similarly cynical way.

While I am normally quite cynical about virus warnings (too many of the warnings themselves are hoaxes), this one comes from an impeccable source. Please do take care.

Carvoeiro dosnt look like its going to have a good season, bookings are down, with the villa agencys lots of cancerlation also looks like only the golf clubs are going to make any money this year.
What are we to do!!!!!!!!!!
Hope bush and blair hurry up and finish what they started

Will the war affect Carvoeiro?

No

this war will touch all of us....to what extent is the question....

It was during the last Gulf War that I was booked to take myself and kids on holiday to Egypt. At the last moment, we though this may be a bad idea and the only thing that the travel agent could offer us was a week in the Algarve. We had never been to the Algarve before.

Now we have a villa in Carvoeiro, and visit perhaps 5-6 times a year.

So war did in some sense affect us and Carvoeiro. But definitely for the good

Here's to many other happy outcomes from this unfortunate conflict.

we'll see....

Sorry but its going to take a lot more than a war to stop me from coming out to my beloved Carvoeiro...ive made so many friends in the last year or so( as many as many old ones too!) that Ive fallen in love in with portugal and i cant wait for easter!..so if war does get worse..lets hope it means I can get there..if I had to stay a little longer.I wouldnt lose too much sleep over it!!
