Hello sunlover, we have gone to Tenerife for the last 30yrs, for winter sunshine, oh how l miss it now, we have not been for the last 2yrs. Last time we went Gatwick airport my husband would not take his jacket, belt, watch,ect., off to be scanned. He thought they would be stolen, when we got to the boarding gate, he thought we had just got off the plane in Tenerife, he was a nightmare on the plane, the whole month away was awful, that was the last time l took him away. Maybe your husband is not so bad as my husband was. I don't envy you!!!
