I would agree on the CI, would avoid Alderney unless you are the sort of person that likes to watch paint dry......
Wouldn't want to spend two weeks there as it is quite small, but a day or two is interesting. Looking at the forts and the wonderful beaches.
It is a bit like going back in time. People don't lock their cars. We rented a car. The lady left us a phone message to say it wold be in space 1 at the airport with the key in it. We drove off without seeing anyone, no paperwork, no showing our licences. After half a day of locking it we gave up and just left the keys in the ignition (saves them getting lost on the beach). When we left we called the lady and she said " just leave it in the car park with the keys in". Took a while to relax and get into their way of life.
I would say its worth a visit.

ps the runway is 880 mtrs so not that short!! and they have another in case there is a crosswind. Do check on the fuel availability as sometimes you have to nip over to Jersey or Guernsey for fuel, (there is a special rate for aircraft visiting for fuel)
