I think I've discovered enough new

places and types of holiday. Have now refined it down to:
1) one direct flight, no connecting flights.
2) no more long haul flights
3) no more tours staying at different places for a night or two then moving on
4) no bus trips
5) no train trips
6) no more cruises on sea or river
So Madeira and Jersey for us!

I do like Jersey, but on the whole prefer Guernsey.
We often go back for a few days to places we like, tho still enjoy discovering new places too.

We have been going for several years because we enjoy it just booked next years trip. We also go to other places in the UK but Jersey is just that notch above.

I really enjoyed our stay in St Brelade's Bay a year or so ago. I think it's a very nice island and the flying time from Gatwick, an exhausting 31 minutes grin which was most appealing.

We had a great trip to Jersey this year, we have friends who have recently moved there, we had 4 nights in hotels and 4 with our friends.

One of the highlights was a farm to fork supper, it was in a poly tunnel on a remote farm, the food was outstanding and we met so many “Jersey Beans” as we were the only non locals.

A beautiful part of Britain and lovely people.

What’s not to like?

We loved Jersey. Hired a little car and went everywhere on the island.

Absolutely! We like new CB places, but we also love places already visited and want to return.

It’s not boring at all!

We have a couple of repeat places we visit frequently.

We also try to visit a new place each year, usually far flung, but sometimes in the U.K.

(We came back from Jersey a couple of weeks ago, we love it there, visited places we hadn’t before. Found an absolutely fabulous restaurant, along with an outside terrace bar at a hotel (not the hotel we were staying at) good for people watching and lunch)

It's not exotic or exciting but we enjoyed our visit two years ago and, despite various more exotic holidays, we found we'd enjoyed it most. Just booked for next year.
Anyone quite happy to be seen as boring?
