two more questions from newbie

Like Caroline my pool is South facing so gets sun on all of the deck all day but the lanai area means that there is also always shade available if required, for February/ March time when the sun isnt at its highest in the sky then it can make a difference to how much sun you will see on the deck or whether you want to chase it round the deck with your chair as the hours tick along For the summer months of July/ August it isnt so crucial as the sun is higher in the sky.

Thank you everyone, for these helpful replies. we will certainly be buying the travel insurance. As for the direction the pool faces, it looks not too important in the scheme of things.
