2.1-3. Open break.
2.3. Step forwards and to the left.
2.5-6. Pull lady forward and to the right, keeping hold of the left hand (bringing it across the left of your body). Change grips (i.e. hold her right hand with your right).
2.7-8. Look back (right and behind you), move out and raise the right left, allowing the lady to turn clockwise.

3.1-3. Open break (although you're not facing the lady), but pulling the lady forward with your right hand.
3.5-6. Move/raise your right arm so that the lady can turn anticlockwise with a bit of persuasion.
3.7. You should now be behind her and slightly to the right. Pinch the top of her right shoulder with your left hand to stop her.

4.1-3. Move your right arm, holding her right arm, to point towards the floor while doing a basic move.
4.5-7. Initiate a clockwise turn for the lady, seamlessly changing your right hand group to your left hand.

5.1-3. Open break

5.4-6. Encourage the lady to walk to the left side of you by moving your left arm in that direction.

6.1-2. Pull the lady forward so that she is just in front of you and to the left.
6.3. Move her arm in such a way that it encourages her to spin clockwise in front of you (requires a fair bit of force). Let go of her hand and catch her left hand with your right hand.
6.5. Put your left hand up in a "Gimme 5!" way, move your right hand a bit to the right and then to the left while letting go. When her hand hits yours, push right with your left hand to send her spinning anti-clockwise.

Salsa Lesson - Sat 09/04/2006
-----------------------------
1. Normal crossbody, ending up with a double hand hold.

2.1-3. Keeping hold of both hands and placing them up in the air, do a quick 360 degree turn to the right. Your arms will now be crossed.
2.5-7. Move your right arm up and over the right side of the lady's head. This is done while doing a (1) right step (2) tap (3) return. Your right hand will now be holding the lady's left hand behind the lady's neck. You should be quite close to the lady, almost cuddling her. You may be at an angle to her.

3.1-3. Using the hand behind the lady's neck, encourage the lady to turn slightly clockwise. Then, do the opposite and encourage her to turn slightly anti-clockwise. Do normal 'stomping' steps on the floor. You will need to let go of the left hand grip.
3.5-6. Put a bit of force with your arms to encourage the lady to do a quick spin in the clockwise direction. She will hopefully move to the left of you but try not to let her move too far. You will need to lift up your arm so this turn can be achieved.
3.7. The lady can choose to do one or two turns from the previous move, but stop her as she is facing away from you. This is achieved by placing both hands either on her shoulders or biceps. You should now be standing directly behind her.

4.1. With your arms, turn her slightly anti-clockwise, encouraging her to step with her right leg to the left. Step forwards with your left left and back again as if you're doing a basic step.
4.2-3. Hopefully, automatically, something similar to the rest of the basic step will occur and you will be in the same position you were in at the beginning of 4.1.
4.5-7. Keeping hold of the lady in front of you, you need to move around her towards the left. Place your right leg behind your left and step across a little. Then, continue travelling around the lady with two more steps (doing 180 degrees). You should end up just to the left of her, perhaps slightly behind.

5.1. Step out with your left leg far in front of you while turning right to face the lady.
5.2. Tap on the right foot.
5.3. Bring the left leg back. Ensure that you are now facing the lady and are close to her.
5.5-6. Use your hands (that are still holding the lady's shoulders or biceps) to spin the lady clockwise and in front of you. This is a free spin so make sure you let go of her. You can do a quick spin here as well or just step backwards and then forwards.
5.7. Stop the lady spinning by grabbing her right arm with your right hand as she faces you in the spin.

6.1-3. With your hand on her right arm, encourage her to spin clockwise. You can do something fancy here.
6.4-6. Put whatever hand(s) out you want in order to perform your next routine. The end of a basic is a suitable transitionary move.

9.5-7. Ensure your left arm aids the lady's right arm into a comfortable arm lock behind her back and come round to face her. This whole movement should be done facing one direction so a sidestep, while back-to-back with her, is done behind her. You should end just in front of her and slightly to the right.

10.1-3. Step forwards with her stepping backwards, raise your arms and let her do a 1.5 turn clockwise spin. Your arms should end low.

1.1-3. Start off with in a double hand hold and do the start of a crossbody in this position.
1.4. Bring the lady forward as normal.
1.5-7. Spin the lady anti-clockwise as she walks forward. Ensure she ends facing away from you with you behind her. Your right arm should still be around her but your left might be a bit tangled.

2.1-3. Tap your left foot on the ground to her left side and bring it back again similar to if you were doing a crossbody start. With your right arm, guide her round (anti-clockwise) so that she ends up facing you but offset to the left.
2.5. With your right wrist behind her back, push it to encourage the lady to spin clockwise. Keep hold of both of her hands.
2.6-7. Raise your arms to enable a double spin to occur. Your arms will end up crossed over.

3.1-3. Open break in this position.
3.5. Raise your arms and step forwards and to the left to end up behind the lady. Move your arms down so that they are in front of the lady, sort of cuddling her.
3.6-7. Move your arms further down to hold the lady's waist. Lose the cross handed grip so that your right hand is touching the right side of the lady's waist, and the same for the left hand.

4.1. Move the lady slightly clockwise (with your hands still on her hips). She should face about 45 degrees from the centre. Keep a tight grip. A basic sideways movement should be done here (left leg left).
4.2-3. Move the lady anti-clockwise by the same amount, so she is facing about 45 degrees anti-clockwise from the centre. Continue the basic sideways leg movements (tap, left leg to the centre).
4.5-7. Move the lady, with a fair bit of force, clockwise and forwards so she spins. Step out to the right on beat 5, and perform a left turn by turning your left step on the 6 and spinning through 7 and 8.

5.1-3. Grab the lady's left hand. She should be 90 degrees to your left. Perform the start of a basic adjacent to her.
5.5-7. Similar to what was done in the first 8 beats, end up in a position whereby you are facing left and the lady is just in front of you.

6.1-3. Similar to the second 8 beats, do a crossbody start.
6.4-7. Walk forwards and spin the lady this time in the anticlockwise direction. Pushing on her right shoulder should encourage her not to spin in the other direction.

Salsa Lesson - Weds 04/05/06
----------------------------
1.1-5. Start off with a double hand hold and do the first part of a crossbody.
1.6-7. Start to turn the lady anticlockwise by pulling across with your left arm and then raising your right arm so that it goes over the lady's head. The lady should end up facing you, but slightly to your left. You should end up with your left hand on the lady's left hip.

2.1-2. Push the lady's hip away while beginning a basic move.
2.3-4. Pull the lady's hip back towards you while moving under an arch created by your right arm. You should turn right so you face away from the lady and then start to face the same direction as the lady.
2.5-7. Use your right arm to make the lady spin away from you (in her direction), anti-clockwise. You should let her spin until either she faces you again or she runs out of arm space. Your right arm should be tight behind her back and she should be facing you as much as possible.

3. Normal crossbody ending up in a double hand hold.

4.1-3. Open break with you ending up just to the left of the lady, with both arms extended outwards. Your left arm should be slightly higher than your right, but they both form a straight line. You will be very close to the lady at this point.
4.5. Hook around with your right leg (i.e. bring your right leg behind and to the left of your left leg as if you were going to spin clockwise).
4.6-7. Complete the clockwise turn, ending up facing away from the lady. You need to let go of your right hand and then swap your left hand's grip for your right hand's one. You should end up holding the lady's right hand with your right hand.

5.1-3. To an open break move (i.e. move backwards and then forward)

6.4-7. Spin the lady half a turn clockwise so that she is facing you while doing the second half of the basic. You should hold on to her left hand with your left hand and ensure that your right arm is across the back of her neck. Her hand should be across your neck as well. She should end up standing to your right with you both almost facing the same direction, but slightly inwards.

Salsa Lesson - Weds 18/05/06

2.1. Open break start
2.2-3. End up so that you move forwards quite a lot and end up to the left of the lady, facing her. You will need to go under her right arm. Ensure that the lady does a half turn clockwise so that she's to your right and facing you.

Salsa Lesson - 25/05/06
-----------------------
1.1. From the double hand hold, do the start of an open break.
1.2-3. Step to the left of the lady. Bring your left arm up slightly and over her head and let it go. You should still be holding on to her right hand.
1.5-7. Pull the lady right with your right arm and encourate her to do a 1.5 turn clockwise spin. You should cause her left arm to be in an armlock behind her back.

2.1-3. Your right hand should be on the right side of the lady's hips. Make your thumb point downwards to get some leverage and push the lady forward and backwards (so she moves backwards then forwards). You should do a crossbody-type move with your legs and end up facing left and slightly ahead of the lady.
3.5-8. Put your left hand out behind you, clearly for the lady to see. Pull the lady towards you with your right arm. She should naturally want to turn anti-clockwise behind you. Ensure that you change grips Ensure that her right hand grabs it. *FILL IN*

4.1. Only touch the lady's hand on your shoulder lightly with your left hand and initiate a forward basic. This will actually be an open break because the lady should hopefully move backwards. Put your right arm out behind you so that the lady's hand will fall down it and you will grab her hand.
4.2-3. Do the rest of the basic move. You may grab her hand at this stage if you don't on the first beat. Try and ensure you step back slightly to the left.
4.5-7. Pull the lady forward with your right arm and spin her round anti-clockwise. End up just behind her with your left hand on her right shoulder.

5.1-3. Do a small basic with her while moving your right arm down and up (half way) again. Keep hold of her shoulder.
5.5. Step backwards and swing her right hand towards you, i.e. clockwise. Place your left hand out in a 'gimme five' fashion.
5.6. Push on the lady's hand as it hits yours to make her turn in the opposite direction. While doing this, move your left leg to the left to start a quick full anti-clockwise turn.
5.7. Complete the spin quickly to face the lady. She may be slightly far away from you but this doesn't matter.

6. Try to move close to her, using your right arm to do a normal crossbody. Don't worry about the left arm. End up in a double hand hold.

7.1-3. Similar to in step 1, do an open break but end up with yourself behind the lady, her facing forwards and your arms around the front of her.
7.5. Push her slightly with your right arm so that she starts to turn clockwise. She should turn out and you should just hold her left hand.
7.6-7. Step forwards, holding your left arm (and her right arm) out in front.

Salsa Lesson - 31/05/06
-----------------------
1. Starting off in a double hand hold, perform a crossbody twist (i.e. let the lady turn clockwise). Your right hand should not lose contact with the lady and you should continue touching her as she spins, ending up with your hand on her right shoulder with your arm above her shoulder (not around her back).

2.1-3. Normal basic start. Keep your hand on her shoulder.
2.5-7. Pull your right hand (on her shoulder) towards you. This should encourage the lady to spin clockwise.

3.1-3. Open break. End up standing quite far forwards and slightly to the left, so that you are no longer facing the lady. Swap your right hand grip so that it holds the lady's right hand.
3.4-7. Extend your right arm behind you and encourage the lady to spin clockwise. She should end up behind you but facing in the same direction as you.

4.1-3. Do another sort of open break, but this time you are moving forwards, then backwards. Instead of simply returning where you started, step and face to the left and thus block the path of the lady moving forwards.
4.5-7. Push the lady's hand to the left so that she spins clockwise. At the same time, do a step turn clockwise to end up facing her.

The hotel blurb is as follows:

"We are a friendly family run 16 bedroom hotel. Our detached residence stands in its
own grounds and is situated in an ideal position in the best part of Sandown. just
minutes to shops and facing the sea - many of our rooms are sea view!

Sandown has a lovely climate, having held the "All England" sunshine record for many
years. Safe, sandy beaches, pier, picturesque wooded roads, fantastic views from
"The Downs" and extensive attractions all make for a perfect holiday or short break.

Sandown is a family resort. There are nightclubs, pubs, restaurants and cafes. The
kids will have hours of fun on Browns Pitch and Putt whilst close by is the Zoo with
tiger sanctuary. Sandown also has an 18-hole golf course, small airport where you
can take a pleasure flight and even a Dinosaur Museum where you can wonder at the
Prehistoric Visitors that the Island used to cater for.

links to all areas of the Island and the Sandown tour."

There's a pretty cool webcam at http://www.camvista.com/england/other/isleofwight_sandown.php?pageMode=nonjava .

However you travel, when you have reached Sandown, The Chester Lodge is situated
past all of shops and approximatly 200 yards from the post office on the right hand

==The Natives==

[[Image:monkeyisland3cannibals.PNG|right|Natives]]

The earliest known inhabitants of the island are dinosaurs, some of whose bones have been discovered in recent times. Dinosaur Isle is a museum in Sandown which displays many of these relics.

The native-born islanders have a very strong sense of local identity, sometimes thinking of the Island almost as though England were a separate country.

The natives were formerly cannibals, later reforming into vegetarians who look after the island.

At first you may feel out of place, but the islanders are mainly friendly, and will make you feel at home.

[[Image:CrabInn.jpg|right|The Crab Inn]]
==== Matt's ideas ====
* play volleyball on the beach?
* visit [http://www.islandbreaks.co.uk/site/places-to-visit/adgestone-vineyard-p154701 Adgestone Vineyard], a couple of miles from Sandown

* visit some of the 171 pubs on the island, such as the following old man pubs:

- The Crab Inn (Shanklin Old Village) - Famous for being on many fudge box fronts and is still thatched and very old. Nice to have a pint outside in the summer evenings. No gardens or children's play areas. Popular with FOOD also in two or three family dining rooms inside. Pool table.

- Fisherman's Cottage (Shanklin Beach - South) Very old and very small, picture postcard thatched pub virtually on the beach. Good views and reasonable amount of outdoor seating - no children's play areas although the beach is a couple of yards away! Sometimes has evening entertainment at peak season. Also good for FOOD. This pub is not open all year.

* Practise the local dialogue:
'She sells sea shells on the sea shore'
'Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled pepper'

==== Tom's Ideas ====
[[Image:ShanklinTeaShop.jpg|left|Shanklin Tea Shop]]

* '''Shanklin Tea Shop''': Sit on a cliff-top with a weekend's supply of freshly brewed tea bought from the The Old Thatch, a tea shop in Shanklin. Cotted cream teas, homemade cakes, light lunches, for example quiche, jacket potatoes, sandwiches including fresh crab and homemade soup. 4 Church Road, Old Village, Shanklin, PO37 6NU. Telephone: 01983 863184
* Have a look at the '''needles''' and the lighthouse
* Make sand castles
* Fossil hunting
* Piff paff about a bit, or somffin or noffin innit

==== Marc's Ideas ====
[[Image:Iowneedles.jpg|right|The needles on the western tip of the isle.]]

* Write out postcards to forgotten Uncles and Aunts
* Find a good, solid deck chair and rest my weary legs on the beach for the entire holiday, Special Brew to hand at all times.
* Sing R&B songs the whole time, with all the instruments included
* Do the regionally-accepted greeting of ten spotty dogs at the start of every conversation with the banana-head natives
* Take time out of the busy hustle and bustle of Wight life, by stopping to practise eating my right shoulder and touching my left elbow to my left ear
* Forget that sleep is a necessary requirement of any holiday and prefer instead to walk around zombified
* Forget that enough is never enough when it comes to practical jokes, droning 'enough already!' every few seconds - which to the joker, simply means 'carry on, I love being the target of your pranks'
* Forego breakfast and lunch in order to endulge in a nine-course 9pm evening meal
* Oh - and make sure the evening meal has at least one mushroom-based starter, freshly-caugh-Wight fish for all main courses, such as tuna and salmon, and no pudding.
* Alum Bay (coloured sands). At Yarmouth (A3054 via Yarmouth, B3401 and B3399 via Freshwater, A3055 via Freshwater Bay)
* Walk along the beach and cliffs to the needles
* The WW II fort built into the cliff (either on the east or west point of the island)
* The old ballistic missile testing range
* Blackgang Chine (incredible trippy theme park with gnomes and life size giants etc), 01983 730052, Blackgang Chine, Nr Ventnor, Isle of Wight PO38 2HN, , Lat: 50:35:22N (50.5894), Lon: 1:18:49W (-1.3137)
* Cowes (if it's the right time of the year)
* if they are still there; the sea has been eroding the cliffs and making them fall into the sea
* Shanlin Chine - http://www.shanklinchine.co.uk/ - When you wander through the tranquil setting of this historic gorge, take time to just sit and look and listen. You are in a magic world of natural beauty, a rich haven of rare plants, woodland, wildlife and an enchanting waterfall. The story of the Chine encompasses subjects of interest to all age groups from geology to smuggling, shipwrecks to PLUTO and of course the wondrous scenery. 1000 hours to 2200 hours (illuminated after dusk). Seems like a really nice gorge thing. 12 Pomona Road, Shanklin, 01983 866432. Lat: 50:37:36N (50.6266), Lon: 1:10:48W (-1.1801) .

Other places to visit are:

==== Caroline's Ideas ====

[[image:beach2_sm.jpg|right|Ahhh, relaxing.]]
* watch the sun set on the beach and swim in the sea at silly o clock
* go to 'Goodleaf Tree Climbing Adventures' and climb the trees
* look for crabs and other crustaceans in rock pools - laugh at them walking sideways
* sleep
* play breach games, like tag and bat and ball
* throw seaweed at people
* go to a country pub and drink the area's real ale
* play tricks involving the fart machine on random people
* forget that there's a point when enough is enough when it comes to playing tricks on people
* ruin the wiki :-p

And if there's time:
* water skiing
* visit Branston farm in Sandown - 01983 865540
* Robin Hill Country Park (Robin Hill offers something for everyone, whether it is the thrill of the Island's 3 biggest rides to the challenge of Squirrel Tower or the peace of the woodland walks where the Red Squirrels live. Set in 88 acres of beautiful woodland and countryside the park offers activities and attractions for all ages with space for the 'young at heart' to let off steam.) £7.50 entry, 01983 527352, just outside Newport, Robin Hill Countryside Adventure Park, Downend, Nr Arreton, Isle of Wight PO30 2NU, Lat: 50:41:09N (50.6859), Lon: 1:14:48W (-1.2466)
* Horse Riding
* Butterfly Paragliding Ltd

==== Rebecca's Ideas ====

*1. Crazy golf tournament
*2. Beach football and volleyball and frisbee
*3. Surfing +
*4. Wakeboarding +
*5. Sea kayaking +
*6. Horse riding
*7. Country walk or cycle with Bens picnic cookies lunch bens
*8. Tennis - no yellow 'tennis outfits' allowed
*9. The WW2 Fort and Blackgang Chine ++
*10. Old fashioned country pubs
*11. Funfair (or theme park if there is one, I'll believe it when I see it)
*12. 2 pence machines at the amusement arcade
*13. Day out at the public lending library

+ If weather conditions allow
++ If they have fallen into the sea - sounds funny!

=== On The Way Back ===

==== Zorbing ====

[[Image:Zorb.JPG|left|Argh! I can't get out!!]]

[http://www.zorbsouth.co.uk/vouchers.htm Zorbing] is possible in theory, but we'd have to make an early start :-( ie. leaving at 9am! and also, it's a bit expensive -

* £35 for 1 person/ ride
* £55 for 2 people/ ride
* £65 for 3 people/ ride

But I'm up for it though. Again, we'd have to book this quite quickly.

-- Matt

Actually there is 2 for 1 on Zorbing at the moment [http://www.zorbsouth.co.uk/zorb-gift-vouchers.htm Spring special] so it's a bargainous 2 for £35! But we'd hav to do it on the way back because the offer excludes saturdays.

-- The Great Thumbholio

Zorbing is booked, I found a better deal - the [http://zorbsouth.co.uk/half-term.htm half-term special]- £30 for 2 people/ zorb. So I booked us all in for the hydro zorb at around 4pm, on Monday on the way back.

of Wight vehicle terminal is at Trinity Yard, East Cowes PO32 6RF.

== Where we'll stay ==

[[Image:Sandown.jpg|right|Where's Wally?]]

We're staying in Sandown now in the [http://www.chesterlodgehotel.co.uk/ Chester Lodge Hotel]. The cost is £28ppn and two car parking spaces are available for us. There will be three single rooms and one triple room.

The hotel blurb is as follows:

"We are a friendly family run 16 bedroom hotel. Our detached residence stands in its
own grounds and is situated in an ideal position in the best part of Sandown. just
minutes to shops and facing the sea - many of our rooms are sea view!

Sandown has a lovely climate, having held the "All England" sunshine record for many
years. Safe, sandy beaches, pier, picturesque wooded roads, fantastic views from
"The Downs" and extensive attractions all make for a perfect holiday or short break.

Sandown is a family resort. There are nightclubs, pubs, restaurants and cafes. The
kids will have hours of fun on Browns Pitch and Putt whilst close by is the Zoo with
tiger sanctuary. Sandown also has an 18-hole golf course, small airport where you
can take a pleasure flight and even a Dinosaur Museum where you can wonder at the
Prehistoric Visitors that the Island used to cater for.

We are easily accessible to all amenities and have a bus stop 100 yards away with
links to all areas of the Island and the Sandown tour."

There's a pretty cool webcam at http://www.camvista.com/england/other/isleofwight_sandown.php?pageMode=nonjava .

==The Natives==

[[Image:monkeyisland3cannibals.PNG|right|Natives]]

The earliest known inhabitants of the island are dinosaurs, some of whose bones have been discovered in recent times. Dinosaur Isle is a museum in Sandown which displays many of these relics.

The native-born islanders have a very strong sense of local identity, sometimes thinking of the Island almost as though England were a separate country.

The natives were formerly cannibals, later reforming into vegetarians who look after the island.

At first you may feel out of place, but the islanders are mainly friendly, and will make you feel at home.

=== While We're There ===
==== Matt's ideas ====
* play volleyball on the beach?
* Practise the local dialogue:
'She sells sea shells on the sea shore'
'Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled pepper'

==== Tom's Ideas ====
[[Image:Iowneedles.jpg|right|The needles on the western tip of the isle.]]

* Go to alum bay to have a look at the coloured sands and ride on the cable car
* Have a nice cuppa
* Walk along the beach and cliffs to the needles
* Time for another cuppa
* Have a look at the needles and the lighthouse
* Make sand castles
* followed by another cuppa
* Fossil hunting
* Tea-time again
* Piff paff about a bit, or somffin or noffin innit

==== Marc's Ideas ====

* Write out postcards to forgotten Uncles and Aunts
* Find a good, solid deck chair and rest my weary legs on the beach for the entire holiday, Special Brew to hand at all times.
* Album Bay (coloured sands)
* The WW II fort built into the cliff (either on the east or west point of the island)+
* The old ballistic missile testing range
* Blackgang Chine (incredible trippy theme park with gnomes and life size giants etc)+
* Cowes (if it's the right time of the year)

+ - if they are still there; the sea has been eroding the cliffs and making them fall into the sea

Other places to visit are:

* Cowes - Large town, you can get the ferry over from Southampton.
* Newport - Large town in the centre of island.
* Sandown - Typical seaside resort. Amusement arcades/crazy golf/pier/zoo etc. Plenty of B&Bs.
