George matey - Paphos in Cyprus has Tombs of the Kings and a vast archeological site - you'll love it - I promise, but don't go in the height of Summer - too hot. I was there in September last year and the twemperature was 32 oC during the day and warm enough in the evening to be able to wander around in shirt sleeves. Go have a look at the photos of Cyprus on my profile page - there are photos there of the hotel. The breakfast bar is just feet away from the swimming pool. Not far away from the Hotel is a parade of shops and several 'local' restaurants.

Re: Next Year I would like.............?

Next year I would like better health but that isn't going to happen.

Even my Doctor who is usually positive about things has said to me the last few times I've been there that short of quitting smoking, becoming a vegetarian and running a marathon every week, my health isn't going to improve.

Thanks mate, really brightened my day up.

Thanks Joe... Some years ago we were in Finland and went to see the real Santa in his grotto on the Arctic circle (Got the photo!). It was mid summer and it was 32deg C - yes, on the Arctic circle! Dianne and me were wearing shorts & T-shirts while Santa was wearing his full get-up. Mind you, his grotto was air conditioned!

Our aniversary is mid-Sept - might be a little warm for us, but we'll check Cyprus out.

Then the very place for you would be Berlin. It's fantastic. I lived there for two years and would love to go back for a visit, especially since the wall came down.

Re: Next Year I would like.............?

I'm looking forward to my grandson being born healthy in February, my son and his wife have been trying for a child for 10 years and I just pray everything will go well, all the reports and scans say everything is going great, we were all nearly giving up hope, I didn't want to know the sex of the baby but when I saw the wife buying things-a-blue it didn't take an Einstein to figure it out.

Congratulations Jem!

My wife still hasn't came down from the ceiling since the birth of our second grandchild in October

I'm hoping our daughter doesn't get pregnant again for a few years at least - let my blood pressure go down a little

As long as the pump keeps pumping and the air bags inflating it will be a good year.

I can see one little lad who's going to get very spoiled by both his Grandad and his Grandma.
