• Where are you going on holiday?

Posted: **Thu May 18, 2017 6:23 pm**

I've not been on holiday since 2004 but only because I am happy being at home in my garden. So, I'm not going to brag about where I'm going but CaptainKirk's thread has got me wondering where the rest of you go. Who is going to start?

Posted: **Thu May 18, 2017 6:30 pm**

This year I'm not really planning on going anywhere.

Definitely one of the Spanish islands next year, when my daughter will be 3 and probably at a better age to fly a reasonable distance.

I'm hopefully going to get a weekend away with my teenage sons to watch football in Europe somewhere, trying to do that before Xmas.

Any other holiday I've got will be spent doing day trips with my missus and toddler daughter and up to Largs, Scotland at Xmas to take my daughter to see my mum.

Glen Nevis next week, St. Anton, walking, early August and then Denia, boozing, late August with Poland during October half-term. That should do for a while...

Off to Cuba in August. Going back to the same hotel that I have previously stayed in which is something that I've never done before. It's a real indication of how highly we rated it when we was there

Crete for us too soon ...never been to mainland Greece or any of the islands before either ..really looking forward to it

Posted: **Thu May 18, 2017 8:20 pm**

Greek islands are fabulous, Blackburn.

Crete's great, lovely food (Greek foods underrated imho).Try a proper Greek salad.
Once you've been to one island, you'll want to try another. Well, I did.
Have a good time.

Posted: **Thu May 18, 2017 8:27 pm**

Lanzarote for us..again...we love it there

Posted: **Thu May 18, 2017 8:34 pm**

Crete for me too. Been there many times as well as kos, rhodes, zante and corfu. Beautiful islands and wonderful people.

Posted: **Thu May 18, 2017 8:56 pm**

Glasgow and Sant Antoni de Calonge.

Posted: **Thu May 18, 2017 8:57 pm**

I'm hoping to go back to Los Cristianos in Tenerife in September as I did last year or possibly leave it till early next year and would then consider somewhere like Saint Lucia where I have been twice before.

I haven't booked it yet as I have a bulging disc and a trapped nerve and want to see what the Consultant says about the course of action needed and chances of improvement in my condition.

Posted: **Thu May 18, 2017 9:00 pm**

Buzios and Sao Paulo in Brasil and also to witness the total eclipse of the sun in Oregon on August 21st!

Can I come? I love all of them but prefer Gandia to Denia.

Off to Malta in October. Can't wait.

Posted: **Thu May 18, 2017 10:34 pm**

Corsica again and somewhere else, yet to be decided.

Posted: **Thu May 18, 2017 10:38 pm**

Amalfi coast and Florence in August. After losing my job recently, it could be my last holiday for a while.

Posted: **Thu May 18, 2017 10:44 pm**

Currently in Lanzarote and off to Albufeira for a stag do next month. Nothing else planned for the rest of the year yet but I'll have to take the long haired general somewhere in return for her granting me bail to go on this stag...

Just got back from there. You'll love it, tons of history.

Going to Prague for a day and a half in June

Another two for Crete here. It's Mrs Chobbo's 60th this year so we're having 11 nights all inclusive in Elounda. I've been to Crete 3 times before, plus Kos, Rhodes and Kefalonia but so far Crete is my favourite. Can't wait for kleftiko followed by a few rakis.

Posted: **Fri May 19, 2017 7:14 am**

After living in Thailand for the last 4 years a holiday seems weird! However, due to my wife's health it's difficult to organise something. However, we are heading across to Greece for a week in September. We have 3 nights in Corfu and 4 nights in Athens....

Posted: **Fri May 19, 2017 7:22 am**

Went to China over Easter which was mindblowing - Beijing, Xi'an and Chengdu. Going to Rhodes in July.

Posted: **Fri May 19, 2017 7:35 am**

Breaking with tradition this time. Normally go to Mallorca in June and October but having a change. Going to Los Gigantes Tenerife. Not sure what to expect but we'll give it a try.

Posted: **Fri May 19, 2017 8:04 am**

Santa Anita for the Breeders Cup and then Melbourne for Christmas/New Year.

Posted: **Fri May 19, 2017 8:20 am**

Went to Lourdes for a week in February and then have booked a fortnight with all the other season ticket holders of Burnley in Crete in July. I've been to Rhodes a couple of times and loved it but the kids wanted a water park or didn't want a holiday 'cos they would be BORED!!!!

I would have forsaken the whole lot for my beloved Goa.

How was Chengdu? I really want to go there for the Szechuan food but I gather it really is in the middle of nowhere and may be a bit backward...

Did you have a hot pot when you were there?

Posted: **Fri May 19, 2017 8:46 am**

We've been Thailand in Feb then off to Tenerife in 5 weeks then back Tenerife in December for 10 nights. Can't come soon enough
