USA roadtrip San Francisco to Miami imminent for me - three weeks in a car with my missus, I must be nuts!
Lets have a holiday thread.
Where you going off to ? or if you have been away where have you been.
Im jetting off next Sunday to California for 12 days on my honeymoon.
USA roadtrip San Francisco to Miami imminent for me - three weeks in a car with my missus, I must be nuts!
Off to Hurghada on the 17th for two weeks.
Will be nice to see some sun!!
Congrats on getting married! And California is great....lots of cool and different places to experience if you fancy hiring a car.
We've been to Ibiza ( my first time) for a week, the 'grown-up' way. Hired a nice big villa with some friends in the South (quiet), overlooking sea, mountains. Was very impressed with the place ...can go to some decent bars, restaurants and clubs without feeling like you need to be 18. There are definitely two Ibizas.
Not long after, we went to Mauritius - beautiful tropical island, lazing in resort and some sightseeing. Ideal trip.
Don't think we've got any more holidays for the rest of the year but no doubt a long weekend will pop up somewhere. Might be off to Budapest this month.
Florida back in January
France the week after next with 30 kids none of which are mine, but it should be good doing various sports
Macclesfield this weekend working, then Southport in September again with work
Spain or Portugal just after Christmas we haven't decided which yet.
Le Mans for a long weekend and Thailand on honeymoon.
"A man of little significance"
Probably off to Sharm el Sheikh in early October - if SWMBO can make her mind up on the hotel
Miami, Bahamas, Orlando last year, no where this year tho,,,,,,,,,,yet
Poland on Friday, Istanbul in October, hopefully something in between. I need to spend a few weekends in Sandwich between now and Christmas, so whist not a holiday, I do enjoy it as an opportunity to eat some good curry.
An all expenses paid weekend for two in Keynsham, that's K E Y N.......
Off to France on a road trip with 16 mates soon!
And then in October i'm going to Osaka with work for 2 weeks, but should have plenty of time to explore the place.
I live a mile from a beach in Devon and drove 70 mile to another beach.
Back from Jamaica in June - next up is Las Vegas for New Year, Skiing in Lake Tahoe in Feb.
When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
I'm off to Amsterdam tomorrow with Liz and friends
Rod
Did Devon earlier this year; thinking about Edinburgh for October!
Rhodes this year, the old town was a watch buyers dream.
Orlando for 3 weeks...returned mid July
The Black Forest. In 1990. Not been away since, except for the occasional night in hospital. It's not very holiday-ish in there...
Just got back from Portugal, ex wife took the kids away so rather than stay here, went off to the old queen's place there.
Off to Dubai in a couple of weeks with all the kids, the outlaws and bro-in-law. Hoping to pick up a Black Bay over there.
Malc
NYC in October for 2 weeks.
Can't wait, first time as well.
Enjoy the honeymoon.
Lots of honeymoons coming up I notice. Think I'll stay home and save some money...
Just in case some watches need to be sold.
Nah Barcelona really.
Don't forget to tell when you are going and for how long :grin:

I just had 8 nights away split between a Safari in Tanzania and a beach holiday in Zanzibar.
The safari was a truly amazing experience.
I've just started processing the 2k+ photos I took...
Just got back from a week in Toronto and a week in Vegas. Cracking holiday!

We went to Duck Key in The Florida Keys in June, stunning place
Nowhere and nowhere.
I bloody hate travelling nowadays, so much hassle and hours and hours spent being uncomfortable.
I used to love it years ago but it just seems like such hard work to me now.
My middle son lives in Melbourne beach Florida and has invited us out but I really don't want to go.
Cheers,
Neil.
Seriously ticked off with airports thanks to work and can't stand the sun so it's staycations for me. Narrowboat last May, Isle of Man next month and St Ives for a glass of Rattler in November.
Almost exactly the same as me... first time to Ibiza, went for 9 days, hired a very private villa about 10 mins outside Ibiza Town and had an amazing time. I was extremely impressed with the quality of food, wine and service available around the island - went to San Antoni once and then quickly ran away. Did one club night, David Guetta at Pacha, which was an incredible show (my GF is a fan, so I got big brownie points), we got a 'VIP' (I hate that phrase) table (which was actually good value) so it wasn't as visceral as it might have been. Highly recommended.
Off in a couple of months - San Fran for a week, then driving down to LA for 8 days.
Back for a month then off to Dusseldorf for the Xmas markets.
Have been away quite a bit this year - Monaco/Nice in March, Valencia in April, Barcelona in June plus the ones to come
Ko Samui on Tuesday for my honeymoon, then stop in Bangkok, then onto Qatar to see my brother who is only back the day before the wedding.
Cannot wait.
Bermuda yesterday:
Currently sunning in Ayrshire for two weeks with the kids. Taking the other half off to Berlin the last week in August.
Went to Amterdam for a few days the other week with the GF.
Off to the Lakes for a week the end of the month with GF & kids.
New York in November for our Honeymoon - looking forward to that.

This year only Turkey for a total of about 10 (possibly) 12 weeks.
Last year managed to fit in a super fast trip round the world with 8 stop off points in 4 weeks, various trips to Europe for short breaks, and Turkey for about 10 weeks.
Selous game reserve.
The dust comes from us reversing quickly after getting charged by a solo bull elephant.
The guide was smart enough to be a lot more scared than we were.
Jersey last month,
Belfast next week,
Disney Paris in October
Had 12 days in Egypt in April and going to Bavaria next week, hiking, biking and rubbing my bum!
just got back! one of the best destinations i've been to in Europe and a bit of a bargain place too.
We went over for a friends wedding and i was expecting to spend a fortune as we had a lot of friends in tow but it turned out a lot less expensive than i expected.
In between the drinks sessions we mangaed a good look round the main square area and visited the Schindler factory which was a humbling and thought provoking experience. and the Polish girls....the Mrs had me on a very short leash all weekend....and beware getting trapped in a vodka bar to avoid the rain...17 voddies in 2 hours does not a sober ktmog6uk make...

Went to west coast of Barbados earlier in the year for a belated honey moon (no kids ) - great place, really enjoyed it.
We took the kids (4 of them!) to a 'Holiday Village' in Menorca a few weeks ago which was also great and the kids loved it.
Holidayed out now and have nothing to look forward to :(

On my list for when the kids are grown up. Key West is great - been there many times, the last of which was on a lads 'Spring Break' diving holiday around Florida.
