[Clive 1960]

A week in Borocay living here in the Philippines as it's a beautiful place to relax and enjoy the beaches...

We booked Majorca yesterday. First beach/pool type Mediterranean escape for years. Right looking forward to it. You?

[ElectroClaret]

Came back from Protaras, Cyprus last week.
Going Los Cristianos Tenerife in September.
Thinking about a cheeky week in either Majorca or Ibiza in August.
And any other I can pick up cheap

[jedi_master]

When I was a lad we'd be heading to Squires Gate holiday camp and be chuffed about it. I remember queuing for the train at Burnley Central carrying my bucket and spade.

Burnley Wakes weeks, was it first 2 weeks in July? Everyone went to Blackpool on the train when we were kids, if you were lucky your family got one of those compartments to yourself. Other passengers would walk past in the corridor casting envious eyes!

[BurnleyFC]

Currently in Alanya, Turkey

[1989_claret]

Currently sat on my sun lounger in Camp de Mar, Majorca. Absolutely scorching hot.

Any particular recommendations so far Tribesmen? Always fancied spending a bit of time living in France.

[fidelcastro]

Colombia, but not until September.

Same here used to wait outside paper shop (Dobbies ) on Oxford road bottom of Burnley Wood for the coach to take us to Blackpool...

[StuffyClaret]

Already done a long weekend in Wexford, Ireland and two short breaks in Abersoch, Wales.
Off for a weekend in York for the races on the 25th.
Then Vegas for nine nights at the end of August.
Hopefully get a week in Morocco or the Canaries before the end of the year

[StuffyClaret]

Colombia, but not until September.

Hi fidelcastro.....would be really interested in the route you are taking to get to Colombia. We are looking for cost efficient options.

[ŽižkovClaret]

I do my Sunny holidays in April-May, October or over Xmas and New Year these days. Peak summer months are far too warm for me, plus, being in Prague in summer aint bad.

Got a few trips coming up mind, Pulp a week on Friday in Sheffield, a week at Edinburgh festival with an Oasis gig in the middle, then Deadmeet festival in Manchester end of August

[Colburn_Claret]

Just bought a campervan, going to take it around Ireland for 18 days. Starting in Belfast, through NI, Donegal, Galway, Killarney and finally a week with family down South before heading for Dublin.
Including a climb up Carrauntoohil with Tricky Trevor.

Heathrow to Bogota, then internal flights to Cali and Medellin.

[ClaretDiver]

Already done 2 weeks in Thailand and a week in Corfu, got another 2 weeks in Thailand in November!!!!

[Cornwallclaret]

Did a week in Portugal in monchique( in land) then we’ve booked a villa in Lanzarote in November ( spoiling ourselves) then a bucket list trip to Iceland in early January

[Cornwallclaret]

Oh and making use of the Motorhome at weekends, done Cornwall twice already , Dorset and local in Devon and the new forest in September

[Tricky Trevor]

Heathrow to Bogota, then internal flights to Cali and Medellin.

My niece did Colombia last year and came back with rave reviews. Enjoy.

[Tricky Trevor]

Already done Panama, stayed with relatives, and Lisbon, Mrs Ts birthday treat from the girls.
Few days in Belfast at end of month, Carcasonne in September and last one of the year hasn’t been named yet.
Neither of us are beach or bar bums. We just like visiting different cities.

[Tribesmen]

Alas France wasn't on our list , I would say Rowls would be the person to ask on that one.
We left on the 1st Feb and doing Spain , Italy and Greece for 3 months each ( tax reasons as the wife is working ) .
We picked a base and rented , still have the car so we can get around . You have to go all in as we never talk about Ireland to people we meet only live for the time where we are . People make or break where you are and so far we have found the locals outstanding , just wish I could have more of the language , but I do really try .

TT , please do the Black taxi tour when you are in Belfast , if you like recent history from both sides of the devide you will find it and more .
Do not bother with the Titanic museum to be honest .

[Woodleyclaret]

Reading the posts we have seriously minted fans
We've had 2 days in Keswick using our bus passes and off to Canterbury to stay with mates in August.We hoped for weekend breaks to Bournemouth and Brighton but the fixtures came
out wrong

Belfast is a great city break.

[AfloatinClaret]

Just back from two weeks on a cruise ship and still pondering Australia for a month or two over the winter... I have a source for test match tickets.

[Claret86]

Stayed in Duće in Croatia next to the seafront for 10 nights, about 40 mins south of split. Absolute paradise.
Will definitely be going back to Croatia.
Did a walking trip in the Cairngorms when I got back. Stayed in a chalet in Aviemore for 2 nights and did the Ben Macdui, Cairn Gorm route. Definitely recommend Aviemore

Zadar is a great place on the Croatian coast. You can get ferries from there to elsewhere in Croatia or Italy, or even do small cruises down towards Dubrovnik etc

[Claretfanatic1982]

I'm off to Olu Deniz in a couple of weeks. Been to Antalya but never Olu.

I have also got Thailand booked for October

[basil6345789]

Blackburn

[SalouClaret]

Singapore tomorrow (although I have to work so not technically a holiday)

Then Sicily for a proper holiday in August.

[Dinglejedi]

Parga mainland Greece for a week at beginning of August back for a week then off the Canada / Toronto for 4 x nights to see Oasis.

[Vino blanco]

I live in a house overlooking the Med on the Costa del Sol between Benalmadena and Fuengirola. I hate the holiday period in July and August, too many bloody tourists, no parking anywhere, can get a bit too hot to go out walking, can't wait for September to get back to normal.

[JR1882]

As someone mentioned above I prefer winter/spring trips and stay home in summer when it’s warm & light.

3 trips to the canaries so far this year. Somewhere unconfirmed for September (can’t decide!) and then Tenerife for the usual November trip once it starts to get a bit grim in Burnley.

[Quicknick]

I'm already on it: Lagos, southwest Portugal, seeing I have a condo here.

[Andreshotboots]

Very lucky this year, Kos next Friday, golf trip to Marbella in November with the lads, then Malta for Christmas as is tradition for us now..

[karatekid]

Came back from Protaras, Cyprus last week.
Going Los Cristianos Tenerife in September.

Protaras is very nice.
Greek island for me in September, just not sure which yet. I’ll book nearer the time and hopefully get a decent half board deal somewhere.

[Whitgord]

Recently retired so going to New Zealand in January. Originally had it planned for 2021 and had booked time off work but then COVID happened. It’s always been on my bucket list.

We live in Dawlish warren and like you hate the holiday season ( 6 weeks of hell with the grockles … September isn’t much better the pensioners are down then blocking the roads tootling along…,the price we have to pay for living here though

[burnmark]

[Croydon Claret]

Got a few days in Poland lined up for September to see what's remaining of Sobibor and Treblinka camps. War history and all that.

Zadar is an absolutely beautiful place, Highly recommend sitting drinking Pan watching the best sunsets you will ever see

[Vino blanco]

Some of my friends down here go up to Benidorm for Christmas. Much livelier than down here, but they normally need a week to get over it.
