Where are you off to next?

We liked Madeira, especially walking along the levadas and seeing the banana trees. I remember a lobster pilaf in a restaurant which was superb and the owner came round with seconds! Yummy.

Currently on Madeira. Hard to imagine anywhere better. Photo taken of early morning coffee on our balcony.

We’re going at the beginning of May for the flower festival. It will be our second time and we love the island. We stay in Funchal so we can enjoy the restaurants and buzz in the evenings.
Have a great time.

Have you got a holiday booked? Where are you planning to go? Is air travel involved or will you drive| go on a ship ? How far ahead do you book ?
I’ve just booked us in to go to a part of west Australia we've never been to at the end of August. It takes a 4.5 hour plane trip for us ( I don’t like planes ) but it is so damn big here if you want to go over to the west. Looking forward to swimming with dolphins, maybe seeing some of the wildflowers and just generally going to remote areas.

Where are you going Nanna8? North or south? ..... we have family in Perth and always have a trip away with them when we visit.....this Christmas/ jan , we did a road trip ..... farm stay in pemberton....then bremer Bay area, then down to esperance / lucky Bay....then back up to margaret river area , staying at both gracetown and yallingup whilst we explored .....it was a great trip .....last time we were in WA, we went North..... Kalbarri and monkey mia ..... I want to visit Broome next ....but it will need to be a winter visit ....hope you have a lovely time wherever you going

New York for a few days in May and then returning to UK on the QM2.

Our last trip just before Christmas. Divine place, the Conflict Islands. Especially nice because they are uninhabited except for the half dozen caretakers.

I’m off to Sicily next it’s been booked for many months I’m off in September with a company who provide their own carers- limitless travel well worth every penny 😎😎😎😎

about not flying anymore. I'm thankful our children are within driving distance.

DH and I have the same opinion.

Off to Tenerife for a week with my son next month, treating him to a break as he has had a hard 12 months. Then taking my granddaughter to Cromer in June for a week. In between visiting family in beautiful city of Wells.
Daughter is trying persuade me to go with her and family to Australia at end of year, not sure the flight seems very daunting.

Five day holiday end of April to Santa Eulalia in Ibiza..😎

Santa Eulalia is one of my favourite places ❤️

London in March with DD, Ironbridge in April with friends, North Yorkshire in May with friends and Brighton with DS later. I love having things in the diary!

Some wonderful trips here!

Just about every summer we do a round trip around the province. taking the ferry down to Vancouver Island, visiting friends then DD and family near Victoria, then ferry over to the mainland to travel to Okanagan valley to visit more family. Then a long trek back up north and home. Luckily both families have lots of room and accept our dog.

In September we plan on visiting Spain (Barcelona area) with another couple. I'm just beginning planning and it seems a bit overwhelming, especially since it involves another couple. It will be fun, but I'm better at planning for just ourselves.

Centre Parcs with all AC, GC along with my much loved sister her husband and daughters, soooo looking forward to it.

Well... as some will know, i am offffff to the Isle of Wight. Its a coach holiday.

Last year we went on a coach holiday and it was 100% fantastic, the people onboard the coach were hilarious, we all got on like house on fire, so thats 52 people, brilliant...

And this year will be a BIG BIRTHDAY ((((( 60 😮 ))))) so I am going somewhere very special (( but not booked yet ))

Wherever everyone going for holiday.... ENJOY ... and remember LIFE'S FOR LIVING

😃

I booked 4 trips a couple of weeks ago.. Dominican Republic in June.
Portugal in September, Boston October and Berlin end of Nov.
I'm 70 this year so I'm going for it.

Too much going on here to think about it yet - but we will fit in a trip to Suffolk to our favourite hotel if nothing else.

Nannytopsy we're there now and it's hot sunny weather. Lots of sun tan lotion and also anti mosquito stuff required. We'd not had problems with bites before in 30 years of coming here but we're well bitten now. The hotel were saying that the unseasonably warm weather has brought them out very early this year.
The place is still lovely. Carnival this week so endless daftness and fun.
Try to find this guy. He's a fantastic musician.

We have booked a last minute week in Madeira too! Only 8 days to do the packing. It’s a holiday before a TKR, as I shall be at home for a while afterwards.

This time last year we came home from a restful holiday in Dartmouth, only to have a house fire the following day. 🔥😱

I fled to Shaldon, a lovely village in South Devon, in the immediate aftermath as the house wasn’t habitable. I’m going back there for a week’s holiday on Monday to recuperate after my recent illness and I’m looking forward to being able to relax and enjoy it this time. A friend will stay with me for a night or two and my husband will join me mid-week.

The photo of the little foot passenger ferry was taken last year.

Malta is the only thing booked at the moment but love it there, so always happy to go back.

Oo thank you keepcalm. We're going in June but not at the weekend.

Love Tewkesbury Kate1949, the Abbey is just beautiful , interesting quirky little shops and maybe a boat trip too. One weekend in June is completely wild with The Wars of The Roses re-enactment! All the heraldry flags fluttering in the streets and the magnificent displays. The town's medieval feel is enchanting at Christmas too, I visit a few times a year.

I don't need any encouraging, but there are some lovely suggestions on this thread!
Dog holidays at Easter and Whitsun to Rock in Cornwall.
Then France with dog in June and September.
No dog allowed on a trip to Berlin!

Oh and then a bit further afield to Harlyn Bay near Padstow with my family over the Easter weekend. Sharing a bed with my eight-year-old granddaughter apparently. 😃
