ellen_chase Great! Sam and Jamie are really happy. They make sandcastles all day and eat ice creams. Most of the sand and ice cream goes in their hair, though. LOL

ellen_chase Dinner time! Food here is delicious. Portuguese people love children and we eat in restaurants every night. Sam and Jamie are being so good!
albertkane3 Ellen!! Where are you? I'm planning a holiday in Portugal!
ellen_chase Praia do Baleal!! It's beautiful. I know a woman who has a house here to rent. PM me if you want her email address.
Tips
- You don't need to write full sentences.
- Use LOL to mean 'laugh out loud' and PM to mean 'private message'.
- Add xxx for kisses.
- Use emojis to show how you're feeling.
- Use extra exclamation marks (!) to make an idea stronger or to show you are joking.
Hi Barrita,
Yes, 'xxx' means both of those things. For kisses, it doesn't need to be three. For example, 'x' or 'xx' also mean kisses.
'xoxo' means something like 'hugs and kisses'. It's an expression of affection.
I hope that helps!

I love to travel to a nice places, with great nature, people, places to visit, good restaurants, secure and calm places too.
It depends. Sometimes I like staying in the city. And sometimes I want to go to a more relaxing place. I need delicious food and amazing views to get relaxed. I'm jealous sometimes, but then I just find something suitable for me.
I'm sure when we go on a holiday with children, they will build sandcastles and eat a lot of ice creams.
My favorite place in holiday is sea
Cancún!!! It's beautifull and relaxing.
My favourite place for holidays is Home with my family whenever they're in the world, I like family conversations and the warm we feel it with each other!
when i have a holiday, i often spend time at home to watch movie or shopping with my friends and if i have more times i will go to the beach.
I am not rich to travel each holidays , I hope of Allah to give me more money to visit most cites in the world .
I have no favourite place. I usually go anywhere. I want to know more about new things new people and new places. I like to talk to people.
