I'm looking to book a holiday in the summer but am sure where to go.

Its either NYC or a beach holiday. the dollar is so high against the pound (double) that America is very tempting. But is very expensive to get there.

On the other hand she wants a beach holiday somewhere like Cyprus. She wants a holiday without all the 'English Breakfasts, Red Lions,' a typical British resort.

Help!

it would be so nice

Also is it worth waiting to book it last minute to get a better deal?

Fuertenventura is beautiful and not your Typical English resort like Benidorm.

I stopped in Corrolejo.

NYC is ace - but at the height of Summer will be scorching - it was very warm in may last year - really humid.

IMHO a nice compromise is Barcelona - fantastic city, but with a beach too, and because it's a big city it avoids the costa del arsehold vibe of many places.

The mrs has always wanted to go to NYC. and because of the exchange rate it seems an ideal time to go. But it will be in August.

Ralphy, is that part of the canaries?

I always liked Lindos on the Greek Island of Rhodes ... thats my tip

Yes it's just south of Lanzarote.

Beautiful island with amazing sand dunes.

I think Sam went there last summer too?

Rhodes is nice but it can't match the beauty of Fuertenventura.

I'm going to Devon this year. I'll let you know if it is any good.

Hope that helps.

Im going to a caravan park nr Bournmouth for a long weekend in August :old:

i'm going overseas this year.
to the isle of white

Yeovil, you can teach everyone your moves at the holiday park  :D

8) We are off to corfu this year.

I'm going to Exeter in a few weeks. Not sure that counts as a holiday after I lived their for 4 years.


Haven't had a holiday for years. From the ages of 16-18 I always preferred the prospect of a free house for 2 weeks. Then when I was a student I could never afford it.

I did indeed. It's lovely out there.

The Brits are just starting to take over some areas, but like Raplhy said Correlejo is really nice and not too busy.

I'll look into it then. Cheers guys.

Just you and Tails? Or is there family involved?

'nathaniel' is coming too yes. We havent started saving yet though :D I've told him I will be deducting £200 a month from his wages to go towards holiday funds.

Which is less for the L&P beer fund, so when I can't buy you a beer against Walsall you'll know who to blame.

Still haven't booked the time off work yet so it's touch and go, but hopefully they'll be nice to me. Probably doesn't help that I'm posting on here when I'm supposed to be working :D

 :shock:

Sorry Tails, you're not going.

Sort your priorities out, lad.

I'm not getting a holiday this year :x  :(

Off to Peru I hope.  And a long weekend in Rome with the GF too.

i need a holiday....!

 :twisted: I have my ways of getting him on my side mr.H don't you worry.You don't stand a chance.

Seriously tails mate, sort it.  Foot down.  :D

I saw the way she was telling you what to do at lincoln in the car

:mrgreen: Shutup ash or I'll scratch your car.
Look I am not a bitch,I am thee bitch. Tails would be lost with out me :D aharhar!

Scratch the car and the eyes get scratched out  :D

:mrgreen: ooooooooo Toucheeeeeey!

To be fair I should'nt be laughing. Some little bastard has scratched my corsa,all along the side and its bloody deep aswell. I am a christian woman but If I ever catch them I will sort them out  :x  Thats criminal damage that is.

I mean, of course you will Sade.  :wink:

I went two years ago (Kavos).  Drinks were piss-take cheap (one bar - 5 euros, all the shots we could handle).  The holiday was amazing, except waking up in the middle of the street in my boxers one morning....  or waking up in a club with a rep pissing in my open mouth...   :|

This year it's Bulgaria.... 50p a pint, c'mon!!   8)

I'd sit tight. Some point soon a company called Zoom is going to do one way flights to NYC for £169, Ryan Air is also to start doing it soon and they are claiming they may be able t do it for under £10!

Saw that the other day, that'd be ace.

Is that possible tho? .

Yes. But the price is net of taxes etc.

plus you'd have to pay for each item of baggage, and for everything you eat and drink, and you'd probably end up watching very shit films (if any at all). it's worth paying a bit more for the long haul - i got to watch a pre-release "sideways" when i went to thailand.

last summer the holiday companies had loads of holiday packages left unsold (mostly because of threats of terrorism, war, and low consumer confidence. also; hot uk summer) which meant they had to shift them very cheaply as last minute deals. this time around they've bought far less holiday packages to reduce their risk, which means there are unlikely to be so many great deals this summer.

if you really fancy something in particular then i'd book it asap before it's gone.

Tell me about it, i WAS going to go to NYC this year, but being a bit reluctant to spend proper sums of money to go to a city where i'll get told off for smoking and have fat people in my face doesn't sit well with me!

I'll wait till i can travel pikey rates and then stay in a suite at the Waldorf pretending i have more than 20p in the bank. Could be a good Return on Investment.  8)  :shag:

I got 2 weeks all inclusive for £650 in the domincan republic, was spot on and probably spent less than i would if i was at home  8)

ha ha im also off to Corfu this year - Sidhari ... see you there Sade and Tails  :beers:

Isles of Scilly are great - Ales of Scilly :beers:, lovely beaches and no Poxford fans - and the locals are friendly  :wink:

Fuck me Tails, is it possible they will let you change destinations? 8)

OH FUCKITY FUCK FUCK !

Are you going with BART Fatters ?

Or your Mum and Dad ?

fancy some inter-railing/camping in erope for the month of september

:shock:


Correction *Crete

Can we just go to Trowbridge instead Sade?

No.I call the shots remember :P

I'd like to recommend Devizes. Set up camp next to the Krammer, good time had by all.

Parents want to got to Poland My Mum is half polish. Might join them.

Since when?!

I thought Trowbridge would be a nice holiday.  :( What about Chippenham?

How come Fatbury is the object of everyone's piss taking and taunting? Exactly what did he do to become the STFCJeffery of thetownend? I mean STFCJeffery was a total cunt repeatedly, so kind of deserves the shit he gets. Is it purely because he pretends he isn't STFC Bart?

No im going with 4 of my mates Fred ...

should be a good laugh -

(and Im not Bart mate - he is going to miss Saturday's game as he has gone on his hols to Cyprus)

Off to Vienna last week in May, and then Copenhagen on route to the Faroe Islands first week in June

No it's because he talks a load of shit and is generally quite annoying.

Apart from that he's OK. In small doses.  8)

I am deeply shocked that 4 people would own up to being your mates, yet alone go on jolly holidays with you !

Yeah ive loads of mates ... just none of them like football and the ones that do tend to support teams like Liverpool! God knows why ... although I do get the Scouse supporter to a couple of Swindon games a season - even got him to Milton Keynes last year!

That's just cruel, why would you tortute your mate like that?

Sippo...I've heard Turkey is nice if you're still looking?  :soapy tit wank:
