blackpool

Blackpool. Hmmmmmmm no.

Tenerife is lovely any time of the year

Depends what your budget is the Amalfi Coast is stunning Xx

And Croatia

blackpool

The Amalfie coast sounds interesting, ill google it. Tennirefe doesnt interest me for some reason, where abouts did you stay Kathy?

Steve. No. Just no.

Croatia, Greece?

I hear Bulgaria is very nice though never been. Maldives is very nice indeed!

Whatever you do do NOT go to turkey. A total * stinking horrible place that you will not get a mins peace from the men crowding around you saying "i marry you" and "buy my necklace"


If you are into culture, Rome is the most amazing place is the world. I really want to go back there again soon. Spain is very touristy, which isn't my thing.

In Tenerife we went to Costa Adeje it was failry quite as we did ask for non touristy places, we visited Loro Park which was OK. The hotel we stayed in was lovely it was the one below and right on the beach the Guayarmina Princess Hotel 4* :

We were there a week before Christmas, walking along the beach in shorts and T Shirt at 24 oC gorgeous. Bit of a shock when we got off the plane to freezing fog

No contest Steve Skeggy:



Tenerife:

it can also rain everywhere kathy

Too True Steve

seeing sight, swimming a pool and sitting in the sun isn't my cup of tea i can do all that here

Turkey wasnt the nicest of places i wont be going back there!

Ive looked at Princess Hotel before Kathy, looks lush...that could be a possibility.

Bulgaria is an up and coming place so could be an option as well.

And Croatia...ahh so many options. Thanks for the ideas

Bulgaria & Croatia

Specify....whats wrong with these places?

Bulgaria hotels are falling to bits did you see the tv show about it? Croatia is another dodgy places.. but if you want to take the risk

Tenerife is lovely I've family out there and have a girlie holiday every January, we go to a village called puerto Santiago/Los gigantes it's really lovely there not too touristy just nice.

We're of to menorca this summer, never been before & fancied something different

Yep we even had a torrential thunderstorm in Dubai, I went in 2005 and I would love to go back there as we stayed in Um Al Qwain and the resort was amazing

ella wrote:NOT egypt!

Did you play any poker while you were there?

Nah mostly sat on the 5c Blackjack machine getting free drinks and only spending a couple of dollars!! Played a little roulette but you loose your money too quick!!

sod losing money it about getting drunk

Or play poker well and let someone else pay for you to get drunk

i wanna make my own hang over movie

Back to Kita - she wants sun sea and sand and things to do. IMHO you can't beat Greece. Scenery galore and plenty of ancient sites etc to look at, if that's your thing. Minimal hassle outside the main "party places". The only problem is that she wants an all-inclusive place of which I have zero experience, but they seem to be large (well, they'd have to be wouldn't they, to make pay) and in the more populous places, and may conceivably attract the party crowd .

The Carribean has plenty of all-inclusive places, and is generally beautiful, but I've only been to Jamaica there. the all-inclusive people stuck to their own enclaves (you do get hassle in Jamaica, but it's banned in the enclaves).

If water sports are your thing, then they seem to be available at the all-inclusives, both in Greece and the Carribean.

Lucky you Kita, have a great time wherever you pick!

Have you seen the lastest one yet?

Been to Kelchsau and Kaprun, both of which ski-ing holidays in my younger days (when the parents paid). Really stunning places and met my first St Bernard's

Ive only been to Zante in Greece and it was a girls party holiday! Off to Kos in August for relaxation, it looks loverly

Wow, sounds fab, never been skiing! Although would like to try it once at least. Always save my pennies for the sun when I can!!

Been to Kos , Zakynthos and Corfu in Greece , all good (love Greece though not sure about the prices now with their econoimy problems), Fuerteventura was good , Majorca was sh1te , none of them party places as such

The one I've booked to Kos wasn't too expensive, especially to say I'm going in School Hols, it's room only though not all inclusive, we didn't look at that.

I did SC over 20 years ago to Kardamena and seem to recall about 3 drachma for a pint on the front and 2 up the back street just can't remember how much a drachma was

I can't remember how much a drachma was then either Dave, but we got a lot to the £ , and Greece was a good value holiday then, I went many places many times. Then they went over to the Euro, and I got into such a hopeless muddle with it that I once left a tip at a taverna for a meal, which I thought was 10% but was in fact 100% ! No wonder they waved and smiled at me every time I walked past!
