Holidays

So, who has planned a holiday for this year and where? Do tell!

The last "holiday" I went on was coming up to four years ago, but was not in happy circumstances and I had extremely serious thoughts about cancelling, but folk made me go.

So, what are your plans, if any?

I would love to go away again, but it's not something I'd do on my own. What do others think?

Re: Holidays

I've just spent a Week up in Orkney with my Son and Daughter, the Weather was great....I could hardly beleive it. Orkney is only a 50 Minutes Ferry Ride from where I live and it's crazy that I'd never been over there before, especially as my Partner and I usually go to Shetland for the Up Helly-Ah Fire Festival each Winter. We also have our own Fire Festival and Boat Burning here in Thurso called Da Donnie, it's much the same as the one on Shetland but on a smaller scale.
The Neolithic Village of Scarra Brae was fasinating, as was the Standing Stones, The Ring of Brodgar. It was a great Week and we learned so much History of the Islands, I was wacked out at the end of it too lol but really enjoyed it.

Re: Holidays

I have had my holiday nearly three weeks ago, thank goodness that is over and done with. It was my first holiday for two years, three days in the island of my birth. As nice as it is to go home occasionally, I can't say I like holidays much, as I am out of routine, which irritates me.

Re: Holidays

Had mine with the family three weeks ago too and it rained every day .

We still enjoyed it though, the farm house in which we stayed was idyllic set in a fold in the Devon hills .

Re: Holidays

People keep telling me I'm on holiday every day ! That's what you get for living in Spain.

My youngest daughter and family are off to Disneyland Florida for a couple of weeks in August, sooner them than me! The grandchildren are beside themselves with excitement, of course!

Re: Holidays

We had a small coach trip for a few days around Scotland, but have not had a major holiday for a couple of years. If I can get the wife back to work, we would either go back to Florida Disneyworld or take a cruise around Alaska or somewhere like that.
