Hello everyone! I was just sat here thinking how lovely it would be to get away some place nice and warm and it got me wondering if anyone has booked their holidays for this year yet?

I'm going to Crete in June, to a small place named Lake Kournas. It's very quiet and so beautiful (not at all like me!) and only has a couple of small Hotel/Taverna's situated around a gorgeous fresh water lake. It's just a short taxi ride to the nearest resort where there is a lovely beach, and at night it's a bit more buzzin! Considering that in the past I've loved going to Palma Nova/Magaluf, I was worried that it would be too quiet for me, but I loved the tranquility of it all and had a much needed relaxing holiday.

So, where are you all off to then?

Cornwall. Never been before so looking forward to going and doing the full 'touristy' bit.

Need a holiday :( Hopefully will be going somewhere in the summer before all the kiddies break up

im hopefully going away in september, dont know where yet tho

we`re off to Disney Land Paris in March, then to Sandringham in April, Cornwall in August for the 17th year running different campsite though this year, and hopefully a couple of more weekends away throughout the year.

We're going to somewhere in Wales in June.

That's about as much as I know to date about this year's Holiday.

My ambition is to go to the US one day though (despite the fact I don't like many Americans), shopping in New York and perving at lasses in bikinis on some Beach in Florida appeals to me.

:wave: ello Gemma, well there is still time to change your mind :hihi: :hihi: , you coming to my meet in my thread dear, 3rd Feb one. :thumbsup:

I am hoping to go away to Wimbledon this year, always wanted to go and this might be the year to go.

im off to amsterdam in 4 weeks for a couple of nights - seeing kasabian as well! :)

Also, regarding my US travel ambitions, I've always wanted to stand on some random street in New York or somewhere and shout "Taxi!" and see if one comes, like they do in the films :D

i know, but i got sooooo much i need to pay :( :( but might pop out for a few then get the bus home :hihi: :hihi:

I wont be going away at all this year. Cant afford it now i dont live with the parents. Definitely wouldnt be going abroad because i dont even have a passport, or anyone to go with.

May go on a long weekend break somewhere, but that all depends on how things pan out in the next few months.

My ambition is to go to the US one day though (despite the fact I don't like many Americans), shopping in New York and perving at lasses in bikinis on some Beach in Florida appeals to me.

I've been to New York and done the shopping bit plus lots and lots more, also been to Florida too, except I was perving at boys in shorts and not lasses in bikinis!

I'm hoping to go to Amsterdam with our lass towards the end of the year.

Also gonna take plenty of weekends in Skeggy in me mums caravan, not while she's there like, need our privacy :heyhey: :D

Did Amsterdam twice last year, they do say the 3rd time you go back in when you remember it :hihi:

Off to Canada in March for 8 days :)

ZANTE IN AUGUST-PUMAS ON TOUR LOL,a few of my sons footie team are going away,cant wait should be fun fun fun all the way

Also planning a lasses holiday in July, thinking Gran Canaria at the moment :)

Went to Turkey, Altinkum, last year. Booked this year's holiday the first week back home. Going back to Tinky for three weeks in July, Can't wait!!!
:thumbsup:

There certainly is not! Ingoldmells, Chapel St Leonards and Skeggy were the only places we ever went when I was growing up and we had some fab times!

Same ere, can't remember 'em like, me memorys shorter than a short goldfish. :(

Chapel St Leonards is a lovely place. I used to go there with my parents when i lived with them. We used to go for day breaks there too, or for a week (when the kids were off school). We stayed in erm.. Blue Anchor caravan site (i think thats what its called, i know its 'something' anchor). Lovely and quiet and a few minutes walk from the beach.

Skeggy is also a nice place to go and Ingoldmells. Although we didnt go to Ingoldmells as much when we got the dog because we usually had to carry him, otherwise he'd have got stood on (hes a jack russell).

We're going to Los Angeles, Las Vegas and San Diego in May. It's a treat for my little boy who is having a cochlear implant operation next month. I can't wait to see his face when he sees Disneyland!

Dunt matter, It's Disney init! :suspect:

Went to Crete in October last year, extended Summer for us.
It cost us £451 for myself, partner & our daughter (not bad).
Weve decided to go away in June to stay with my sister in Altinkum, Turkey as a cheap holiday for us. However after looking at the prices of the flights it will cost us more than our holiday to Crete.
So if anyone knows of where I can get cheap flights please let me know.

My folks had a caravan on Golden Anchor for years. I spent every weekend down there in my youth :hihi: (that was sometime ago :suspect: )

I'm more a jetsetter now :hihi:

If you check online for prices from Onur Air (Turkish Airline), they seem to have best prices available. Always best to shop around.

Thanks scarby & frolikalki, will check both out.

WOW chapel st leonards, as a single mum many years ago it was the place to go for a weeks break. Always stayed at the robin hood camp & frequented the maid marion club. Jane Macdonald started her career there years before she was ever on a cruise ship.

I'm just cooking up a little jaunt to Paris next month.

A very good friend of mine has a property rental business so will be staying at one of these (http://www.parismarais.com/visit-our-flats.htm) :D

I'm not going on holiday this year, I'm saving up so I can move out and live on my own. :hihi:

Booked Alcudia first week in June, cant wait!!!! not been abroad for 5 years so looking forward to it and will be first time on plane for my daughter as well:D

El Cotillo in May, cant wait for it!!
I could live there forever.

Ooh what date in April's your birthday? I'm 31 on the 7th (getting old now *shudders*)..

Booked my holiday last march,
4 days in Singapore.
3days in Bangkok.
15 days on thai beach.Not going while July though.

Not really an Holiday but I'm trying to get to Sheffield for the weekend :hihi:

its the 22nd, and ill be 24 :o

i've booked mine now.... costa de almeria in July for a week with OH. Cant wait :D

Just be aware folks, that although the majority of people on here are genuinely interested in the conversation :) , there may be others that would take advantage of the fact that they know when you will b away :gag: . It wouldn't be too hard for them to find out where you live :o .

Please bear this in mind when responding to this thread and don't be specific about the dates of your hols :suspect: . Would hate to think that someone comes home from a lovely holiday, to find that someone else has made the most of your break also :rant: :shocked: :cry: .

Going to back home to NY, Philadelphia & Florida for 2 weeks in April.
Amsterdam at the end of May
