View Full Version : Hols 2008
Was getting ready to come home tonight and it was the first night in months whereby it was daylight and there was no need for headlights. Which got me thinking about Holidays in May this year. Not too long off now thank goodness.
In May im off to Florida for 2 weeks with the family. Cant wait to be honest. Not been away since Christmas 2006 so it will be a welcome break. Then maybe in August I wouldn't mind getting up to Edinburgh for a long weekend or something
So what's everyone's plans for Holidays or breaks this year.

This year we're planning on doing a bigger holiday as we haven't done anything exotic since our honeymoon.
Virgin do a number of adventure holidays in association with Intrepid and once we saw this one I think we were sold on it :)

Going to Graspop Metal Meeting in june, 5 days in europe with plenty of beer and music :)
that's it for holidays for me really until september time.
Am going back to Malaysia for three weeks in May :) shopping ahoy! And also visiting loads of family and friends... I also want to see my friend in Singapore... Dave (Gaijin) and I worked out it was over 7 years ago that we all last went back as a family :shocked:
The girls want to go on a weekend break to Berlin and Rob and I will be away for a week to get some rays in the summer :cool:
That'll be enough I should think :p

Came back from Canada a few weeks ago, and was meant to be going skiing next month but unsure on that now...may go later in the year.
Well I've just had a week off just monging and chilling which was nice.
I'm off for a week to NY in April (5th).
I have a couple of days off in July for a wedding, and a day off also for a Jack Johnson concert.
In September I'm off to Cyprus for 2 weeks.
That's about it so far - can't wait for NY!
I should be popping over to New Jersey in July to see my brother and family for my nephew's 4th Birthday (how they grow up so quickly!!!).
And I'm really hoping I can do a couple - 3 weeks in Aus later this year. Need to sort myself out a bit more financially first though.
Bizzarely I have little planned so far this year, 2 week in Vegas at beginning of June is it so far
Big fat nothin!
No cashback on that card :D
House and potential purchase pending have zapped funds for anything major

Holiday??? :confused:
I'm still trying to work out how I can fit in all the holiday I carried over from last year before the March deadline. I may have to open negotiations to have it bought back.
I'll be off to Bulgaria in the summer for a couple of weeks, just need to find a flight and I'm sorted. Only problem is my mate who I normally go on holiday has shacked up with a woman so he's a doubtful at the minute :(
So far, most of my work holiday entitlement is taken up with exams and study - yuk!
We were going to go abroad but I can't afford a passport so I need to find somewhere over here where we haven't been before and is nice :)
If not, it'll be Centre parcs in Sept!!!

2 weeks in a villa somewhere in Spain. All booked for August :)
I have lilo all blown up ready :D
Nothing planned here. Going to the Hotrod Hayride in August but having to move flat has just swallowed all the spare cash. Have to see how it goes later in the year.

I love friends. Mentioned this to one at the weekend, and she instantly assumed that cos I know a couple of (admitedly rather attractive!) girls over there, that's the only reason I want to go.
WTF?!?!?!
I'll be off to Bulgaria in the summer for a couple of weeks
Ooh - where you going? I've been to Sofia (on business, but still got to sample some local stuff). :)
As for me, Madeira in May, Edinburger in June, and maybe somewhere in September. Lots of little bits rather than my usual big 2/3 week extravaganza. :)

i have the time booked off, but no real plans as to what we're going to do with it yet!
first week of june we'll probably spend camping (most likely in newquay - because we had an awesome time there the year before last)
and have 2 weeks off in october for a big holiday - we've never been abroad together, so hopefully we'll have enough money to go somewhere exotic (or at least dry)
MB the site you found your holiday thru looks awesome - might have to see if the pennies will stretch to something as exciting as that!!
Oh and I've secured 6 days off for easter which is cool. So that's some more holiday this year! \o/
Weeeeeeeeeeell, we've both had our time off confirmed and booked the flights... we're going to Cyprus for 2 weeks with some very good friends of ours ;) in September. WOOHOO!!! Never been before so I'm VERY excited. Only 6 months to go \o/ :D :D
Indeed :) Just got my bonus to pay for it so it's all very well timed :D
OMG you're going to Cyprus?!!! :eek:

A nice break at CenterParcs with the family, cant wait!
Aww have a good time mister Fakey!!
We're off to Cyprus in August - northern Cyprus, but only for a week. Then we got weddings and all sorts to attend!
Which part?
I was joking you tool :p
I love Cyprus, been twice and going again in September :cool:
Wooohooo.
Madison square garden is booked for Santana.
We're going to see the Knicks too.
NY here I come :cool:
I'm hopefully gonna drag the Pickers camping in the Francearoo in his School Easter hols! Want to go see the D-Day beaches again - last time we went we didn't have the time to fully absorb it!
Plus, would be awfully nice to stock up on the vino :D
*looks forward to snuggling under the stars :)*
Oh I've done the D-Day beaches and Verdun and that part of history area - it's quite chilling and sobering ,but interesting!

In London 25th-28th March doing touristy stuffs but thats it
We've booked for Malaysia - I'm going for 3 weeks in May and Dave is going for 2wks. Mum and dad are going for six. Am going to book a flight and spend a couple of days with my friend in Singapore too :)
Can't wait! :D

Berlin didn't happen because everyone was skint :p but I have friends in Vienna so am looking for flights and a time to do that :)
Sounds great Mei - nice long break too :cool:
Yeah looking forward to it :D
Not looking forward to the amount of work I have to do before I go though :(
BB x
We don't plan to go away this year, it's quite a hassle with Ethan being so young still. We'll do plenty of day trips for the kids and we plan for Euro Disney the year after next when he's at a better age for it.
Hope everyone has a great time, have booked 4 days in Majorca for late April as it was stupid cheap, after the Vegas trip it looks like nothing till end of year due to probable arrival of Kittehs :)
As for me, Madeira in May
It's here. :shocked:
See y'all in a week. :)

My 30th is going to be spent in Dublin.
So nice of Crowded House to have a birthday party for me. ;) Nice long weekend there.
Then, back off to Normandy to do more of the Beaches and memorials.
Will probably drive the Rouen Grand Prix circuit this year as well. :D
Bon Voyage Mark! :D
We just booked our sun holiday this year - £499 for both of us to Portugal :)
Thought we might aswell go for it and see what we get, the apps have had good reviews and it was a cancellation which is why it was sooooo cheap! :D
Disneyland Paris next weekend too :D woo hoo!

Replace the seat of his favourite chair with a bike seat. :D He'll love that.
*not that I've done that to anyone at all after he did Lands End to John O'Groats... no. Wasn't me... ;) :evil:*
There seem to be several awesome people (and Will) going to Cyprus in September - I may have to tag along :D
My holidays for this year are a week in South Africa at the Kruger National Park (flying out May 31st, getting home June 8th) then a couple of weeks in Cyprus in September.
I may well take the entire month of December off work and bugger of somewhere for a week then
Have funno Markaroo! :D
We're going to Cyprus tooooo! Canny wait! Food is going to be nomtastic! I heart Cyprus! :D
Gonna try and go camping soon too (even if it's locally!) and then a France trip! I REALLY want to go to France! Picky hasn't been to Paris *SHOCK HORROR* so I am going to have to take him and let him awe at all the sights and foood and EVERYTHING! (REALLY want to do Moulin Rouge but don't think we can afford it!)
We're also looking into going to New York with a couple of weirdos... which reminds me... I had best look into this and see what's on ;) Had planned on going for my 21st yonks ago - my Ma and Pa had put some money aside to help fund it for birthday goodness. Sadly though I couldn't go and well... I NEEEEEED TO GOoooooOoOOoOooOOOooo!

Looking at having a week on Islay touring the seven distilleries there and wandering about looking at scenery and stuff.
Also thinking about staying back after I get off the rig later in the year (when it's not so hot) and having a week in Sharm Al Sheikh.
Will probably be having a week in Lanzarote in November/December to join my folks for their usual three week holiday there, as I've done the last couple of years.
Our few days in London was probably the closest to a "main" holiday we'll get. Other than that it'll be weekends away to see people/mini meets at most; this weekend we're off to Manc to visit friends, that is currently it planned atm.
Just booked some return tickets to go to Hawaii at the beginning of July for a few weeks. I fly out a week after Lana heads back home to Hawaii so that I get a bit more time to spend with her. I do keep saying to her that's the main reason I'm going there, but to be honest its more the opportunity of swimming with dolphins (one of my lifelong dreams) that's motivating me ;)

Off the trend of normal holidays, i really can't afford it, but a few of a my mates really want me to go to ayia napa this year, and it would be legendary but freaking expensive. Managed tenerife on a shoestring last year but that was pushing it!
I've not been abroad in 18 years so I'll be continuing the trend this year by just having a few weekends away to visit friends.
Maybe next year I'll get somewhere foreign :D

Ayia Napa was quite expensive in thje past, now in the Euro and with crap exchange rates it will be bad unfortunately :o
Even Magaluf has got expenive, was there a couple of weeks ago and was £4-5 for a bottle of Magners :'(

Ok, its only about 4 days but it's better than nothing and more than the last few years :p Going to be in Spain with my sis just chilling out just before my birthday :)
All being well I'll be having my usual 3 holidays/year again this year. I'm going to South Africa in June, Cyprus in September and all being well the Cote D'Azur for a long weekend at the beginning of August.
Lord help the White Isle :p

Its been 8 years, we have some catching up to do!
I <3 Madeira. That is also all.
I'd better like it - I just blew £6k I don't technically have on a timeshare out there (expect to have to get a loan again though only for 12 months).
Went to Disneyland Paris at the weekend :D was brilliant!!! Especially as we had the lovely weather and we weren't in stinky smelly Londonsville!!
Now got to get my **** together for 3wk family hols in Malaysia... soooooooo not ready.. only just got currency last week, need a jab and just started taking Malaria tablets... it will all come together. :)

just started taking Malaria tablets.
I've put strawberry nesquick on the shopping list ;)
I bought a tankini today in preparation for Cyprus. "TOO EARLY" I hear you cry, but by the time we go, all that'll be in the shops will be winter stuff. Got caught out by that last year! :D

Seriously considering it, reckon I'll need to be out there for a week, at least...
Very much doubt that, even with my new job, I can afford it though :(

I really wouldn't do a full week in Amsterdam, a long weekend is normally plenty. I did a week there last September for a trade show and I'm not too sure how I didn't die. Crawling in at 4-5am and up at 7:30 to get to the show.
My GF was really worried about me when I got back as I slept for 20 hours straight and she couldn't wake me up :D

A wee bump as it's getting closer to our holiday now. Lynnie and I are going back to the cottages in Chester where we had the big meet last year, with some friends. We were going to do it as the main meet again this year but there wasn't enough interest, so we just thought we'd do it ourselves.
Really looking forward to 2009 though, as we've decided that for our honeymoon we're going to go back to Disney Florida, which is where we got engaged. It's quite sad that I can tell you that time in exactly 13 months we'll be on the plane, having been in the air for less than 1 hour :o

Soarin at Universal is top draw btw. Not sure if you have sorted any tickets yet Davey but I got a link to a little corner of the Universal website that gets you unlimited access to Universal, IoA and City Walk for a week for around $80.00 pp. Let me know if you want it

Did you know, if you were to live in space with the whole antigravity thingy, boobies would become firmer and more rotund due to the even distribution of blood and things in the body? (I don't remember the proper way to word it but I know it to be true)!
So Kates norks in space would be even more awesome than they already are (if this is possible)! They may develop orbits too. Any other boobies in space could just satellite around them in awe.

Well all back - 38oc every day and no clouds.
The place we stayed in was about 90km from Almeria near Gurucia. It's a very spanish part of Spain (f you know what I mean). It appears that the area is the Spanish Holiday area away from the cost d sols etc. Therefore, not many tourists :)
The beaches were gorgeous and sea was fab. However, would it surprise you that the Villa I booked was right next to a naturist area.. and I mean area .. not just the beaches lol :)
#thought# How come you never see good looking naturists?
Anyway, back for a few days then more time off. Horraa \o/

Woooo glad to hear you had a good time, I will be flying to Almeria in just over a month :D It really isn't a tourist area that is for sure! Don't think I will be in a nudist area though, thankfully :p

Have you been before?
TinkerBell

Yup, my grandparents live in Huercal Overa, which I think is about 45 mins to an hour away from Almeria :)
It is VERY quiet there :p No naturalists :D
Just did this silly vid of our weekend in Blackpool:

Looks like you had fun Dawn :D
It turns out that the only holiday I have this year will be sitting relaxing at home :( Unless I win the lottery this weekend. So if I'm posting from Bora Bora next week you know why ;)
That looks excellent fun Dawn :D

Blackpool is well amusing!
Kai is 15. Apparently he passes for 18 though, I didn't ask the circumstances as I was scared.

I don't have anything constructive to add to this thread, though I first read your signature as "pole dance fitness classes & panties" Roberta :p
Wow, we're in the middle of August and I have survived with zero holiday this year! Had a week off work but stayed local. Usually I've gone mad by May!

I loved it when I went to Blackpool! :D Have a jokers hat that I only wore there!!
He could easily pass for 18 :shocked: He doesn't look 15 at all! My brother can pass for older than 12, he is nearly as tall as me! Eeeeek.
Kai's about 6ft now. I think his little brother is going to be even bigger. Their dad is 6ft 3. My daughter is also getting leggy so I presume she's going to be taller than my 5ft 3 also!

I don't have that Gif, or I'd have posted it.
Get your butt over here, mate. A lot of people would like to meet you.
After I get back from Cyprus I'm going to be working on ACTUALLY making a trip over there as well. Right now I'm thinking Jan or Feb? Depends on my living situation and what my expenses will be and whether my buddies I'm going to Cyprus with still can stand to be around me after 2 weeks together :)
