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!

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

Santa Eulalia is one of my favourite places ❤️

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.

DH and I have the same opinion.

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

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 😎😎😎😎

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

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

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

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.

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.

We are having a week on the Norfolk Broads from next Saturday (16/3) and well ready for it! We'll have another week in September/October - either a boat again or a cottage in Scotland. Yet to decide 🤔

Cotswolds, a couple of days in March, we have friends with a converted barn up there, lucky to have had several invitations already.
Jersey a week in April
Dorset a week in May - time share in Bournemouth, where we spend our time visiting favourite haunts such as The Isle of Purbeck, New Forest and Lymington.
We'll probably be up in the Cotswolds again in the summer for a day or two .
September, maybe somewhere else in England or Wales or France, I'd quite like to go to the Ile de Re.

I really liked Ile de Re when we stayed there. It was also quite exciting getting the ferry across, replaced now by a bridge I think

We hope to get to Whitby some time in the summer for a week. Lovely beach, food and drink and great company.

Last minute booked for Easter to Majorca. Going with DD and 2 DGC. DGS, 13, is a school avoider and is very depressed. Hoping a break away from his usual anxieties will break the cycle. It is so heartbreaking.

Portugal, just love it.

I may be needing to eat my words on my post on Page 1.
I have been invited to join a family party ( not my family but a friend of my GD.
They are going to Menorca at the end of September.
I am thinking about it but leaning towards saying no thanks but my GD wants me to go “ to make memories “ while I am still here.

I’m finally having a new hip within the six weeks. So there’s nothing planned apart from a few days in Wales later this month, but I’m hoping to spend the winter travelling.

A friend has asked us to help crew a boat from Oban to Fraserburgh in May. That means another trip through the Caledonian Canal which I love.
Just today the same friend asked if we could deliver 2 motorcycles to Spain. If we wanted we could stay on his boat in Duqueser port.
Then a proper holiday in Suffolk in June.

Cruise down the river Rhône in April.

Italy Lake Garda in June. Hotel right on lake and next to ferry terminus so easy days out. Last year we went away with daughter and family and because of various home issues didn't take another holiday so this will be first holiday just the two of us in two years. Really looking forward to it.

Oh, and a week in north Norfolk in June.

We are visiting relatives who live near London for a few days next month with the intention of visiting RHS Wisley whilst we are there. In May we are going to Malta and Gozo. We'll book a dog friendly cottage somewhere in England in June so we can have a holiday with Stanley our border terrier and in September I'm going with my younger daughter to Namibia. Daughter and I are also intending to visit Athens for a few days together if she can find time in her busy life. Recovering from my recent accident has made me keen to see a bit more of the world whilst I still can.

My wife and I are so excited to finally be taking our dream trip to Egypt... We've been wanting to visit for years of marriage but things never worked out until now. We'll be there for a full 2 weeks to take it all in.

We already booked our Nile river cruise through www.egypttoursportal.com/egypt-nile-cruises/ so we can relax and see the sights from the water. I can't wait to see the amazing pyramids in person and learn about the rich history and culture. We've been reading from this blog posts gowithguide.com/blog/egypt-tourism-statistics-2023-all-you-need-to-know-5312 to help plan our trip, like tips on what to do and not do as well as general tourism stats.

The news sometimes worries me but we're going to a guided tour to stay safe. I know it will be a trip of a lifetime for us both. Wish us luck in having the most amazing adventure! To anyone else traveling somewhere special, I hope you have safe and wonderful journeys as well.....

We’ve a trip booked to go on holiday with our oldest daughter and her husband and children to Canada end of May - sil is from Montreal and we were all invited out to visit with his family and see the sights.

After that a restful week by the sea over the summer an annual thing for us.
