Holidays.

Is anyone else like me, always looking forward to your holidays? We've had all this year's holidays sorted since just after Christmas and I've already started thinking about next year's. I wouldn't mind going to Mittenwald in the Bavarian Alps. We went on a day trip there many years ago when we were holidaying in Austria and I thought how pretty a place it was. We are not ones for beaches or for cities and much prefer mountains and lakes. There's only one snag and that is that such places tend to be very wet.

Re: Holidays.

In April we had a week in West Cork, staying in Bantry. In two weeks time we sail on 'Arcadia' for 17 nights to Venice/Dubrovnik, and then we're back on board her in January for her 116-night world voyage.

We'll try and do something in the autumn, too

we did a 100-night world circumnavigation on 'Aurora' in 2012, so we know what we're in for! The biggest problems are sorting out personal and house insurances, as most companies don't cover for more than 90 days. But it's sorted already, and we're good to go.

Next year's trip goes around South America and up to China, Japan and South Korea via Australia, NZ and Indo-China.

Quite looking corward to it, actually!

Re: Holidays.

Already had two holidays this year and three more to come. Only two abroad though. One was in Latvia and I am going to Egypt in October with some of my family.

Re: Holidays.

We are not going away this year but when we do we always book 12 months in advance just to make sure we get everything we want.

Re: Holidays.

Definitely my major extravagance. In fact, possibly my only extravagance. The planning and anticipation is as enjoyable as the holidays themselves.

Re: Holidays.

I am off on holiday in two weeks time but can't say I am looking forward to it .
I am going with the family and although I love my 3 small grandchildren there will be no escape from them for a whole week
I am not used to constant noise, there always seems to be one of other of them crying .
