Hi Howard,
We're going to Bansko on the 14th. We are staying at the Hotel Avalon. We have been to Borovets twice and fancied a change. We are a party of 4 and have two children. Do you have any children?

Hi James
What is the Avalon like? The rooms look excellent, how are the hotel with children? We have two sons aged 12 and 5. Have the Avalon arranged your transport from airport and have they sorted out your lift passes? Can't wait

Has anyone been to Basko before and does anyone know what the kindergarten in Bansko is like? How long does it take to get to the gondolas from the Avalon? What is the fun park like for freestyle?

Hi James
It's nice to know that my son and your son are similar ages and we'll be there at the same time. With regards to the lift passes Varna did say that she would email me to let me know this years prices. Also, can you remember how much the Avalon charges for transfers to / from the airport?
You'll have to let me know what we should do when buying lift passes, either buy them there or let Varna & James sort them out. I've just told my son that you're going to the Avalon and your ...

Donna,
I have just read the listings again and i am so stupid, i am going in Feb and it looks like you are going in Jan, tell your son i am sorry but i keep wishing the day's past and missed Jan out.As for the transfers i was given a price of 140 euro return, the lift passes is a hit or miss thing at the moment as you can see a lot of listings have reported increased prices, so i will wait until the season starts then give James a ring for more information.
Have you had any problems ...

Have you had any problems contacting the Avalon via e-mail through AOL.
