Where Are You Going This Year

[malagabob]

Booked a holiday yet? Do you go to the same place as before, and why.Do you book with family/friends, or is it a chance to get away without them.Mine are all booked for this year. No dates please for security reasons.

[rockyracoon]

Holiday? What's that?

The last 'proper' holiday I've had was in 1989. (A week in Malta). Since then I've had a three-day break at a holiday camp in Bognor Regis (1995), a couple of nights at a holiday camp in Norfolk (also 1995) and two nights in Madrid (a couple of years ago). That's it!

However that doesn't stop me taking lots of day trips. I've done Edinburgh, Cardiff, Dublin, Paris, Brussels, Bruges, Ostend, Calais, Rome, Malmo, Copenhagen, Bratislava, the Italian Riviera, Mainz, Bordeaux, Lille, Barcelona, Amsterdam and loads of other places.

So far I've just got a day in Paris booked for this year (late June) but I'll probably add quite a few more destinations onto that list later on.

I like to be spontaneous and often book my holidays last minute. But I am hoping and want to go to Dublin when the weather gets warmer.

[Cloverjo]

I'm on my hols now, in South Africa. Just me and OH. I wouldn't dream of going with friends or extended family.

[ummmm]

Planning on going to Malta. Went last year and loved it so going back to explore the rest of the island. This'll be the first time I've ever returned to a country. I usually like to try something different. Maybe I'm getting old....

[viv41]

Probably the Norfolk Broads for us, but not decided yet.

[AlwaysConfused]

Zakynthos late June for 2 weeks, love the place. Me and MrAC go back every year, twice if we can. We don't go with anyone else, but we have made a lot of friends who return, so we usually try to coincide a few days with others.

Planning on, but not booked, Goa in November.

[MargoTester]

We do a city break each year with out fellow quizzers - the Old Gits on tour. This year we are of to Lisbon for three days, it looks like a lovely city.

[MargoTester]

Buenchico- if you are still about - what was Bratislava like, we were considering going there.

[Buenchico]

MT:
I enjoyed Bratislava. The coach journey from the airport into the city goes through mile after mile of stereotypical ultra-depressing Soviet-era concrete blocks but the old city centre itself is an absolute delight. The cafés and bars are reasonably-priced as long as you avoid the main tourist traps, with a half-litre of beer costing two or three quid in the expensive places but just 80p in the bars used by the locals. Meals are also quite cheap. Souvenirs are expensive though, even in the backstreet shops. (You can pay £30 for a T-shirt).

From my brief visit to the city, I'd definitely recommend it for a short break but it might not have enough to offer for a longer period.

51 night cruise, Southampton to Sydney. Like Andy Hughes brassed off about the Indian visa, expensive and looks like being a lot of hassle for 1 port there.
