Summer Holidays

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

OK, listen up you bums!

I haven't posted a 'new topic' for a while so I suppose I'd better do my bit.  Where are you going on your holidays then?

My 'big' holiday this year won't be until November when I am going with the good lady wife (well, she's not actually a lady or my wife but you know what I mean!) to Florida for a couple of weeks.

I've already had a bit of time off for Torquay away and other stuff so that leaves a week or so free in the Summer.  Has anyone got any  original ideas for holiday destinations?  I'm sure a fair few of you will be visiting the fair Isle of Ibiza or possibly Aya Napa and fair play to you - have a few/give her one from me  but is anyone going to anywhere a bit more adventurous?? (I know Florida isn't exactly the most adventurous destination but the OST winter vacation is not going to be the usual Orlando/Disneyworld/Busch Gardens gig I can assure you!)

So where you going Home Boys?

Suggestions please!

I am going to Tenerife with the Mrs for two weeks at the beginning of July, should be good!  We are going to some really nice 5* jobby in a quiet part of the island!  Just a small one this year as we have so much on but i am really looking forward to the break none the less!  We did not have a holiday last year as we were just so busy with work and everything, just had a few weekends away!

Then, probably next year, we are going travelling for 6 months, which i am really excited about!  Just all the hassle surrounding that like having to rent the house out etc!

I'm going to florida in October.

Whereabouts you going OST? We're off to Fort Myers on the west coast. Went there last year (not very adverturous I know) but it was a fucking great holiday so we're going back to the same place.

We're renting a villa complete with pool and a boat out back on a canal complex that leads into the gulf of mexico eventually

We're flying to Miami and we're going to have about 4 days or so on South Beach staying in a nice little Art Deco style appartment thingy.  We will then hire a big fuck off American car and travel around.  I quite fancy the Keys and I also want to drive accross 'Aligator Alley' and then maybe up to Naples on the Gulf Coast before heading back.  It's all quite fluid once we leave Miami though which is how I like it.  I would like to get tickets for the Dolphins before we go (the NFL franchise that is, not the mammals!) and maybe see a bit of live music and stuff.  I want to go now!!!!!!!

Depends how long we go for!  Ideally we want to do 12 months but will prob have to settle for 6.  We are going to do Australia and New Zealand definately and maybe some other places.  But the main part of the holiday is volunteer work in, most probably, Africa!  that is the part i am most excited about!

I am probably not going anywhere apart from Spain next week, and Glastonbury.

I was meant to be booking a summer holiday to Egypt with the missus just after the new year, but due to her ceasing to be my missus, that never happened.  I really want to go there one day though.

Titch - I can sort your house no probs give me a personal message thats what I do.

Im off to Turkey in June for a week with a lass I know  

Thinking about taking a week somewhere in september but considering all my mates are either bumns or with lasses it looks likely I might have to treat someone to a hol!  Next years the big one hopefully going toi germany fro the euros but might have to fly back for work a couple of times!

Well my plans have all been shot to pieces by purchasing a house.  

Got Glastonbury lined up for June, possibly a road trip across France and into Spain ending up in Barca (depending on fundage) and again money permitting hopefully 3-4wks in Thailand in October for a bit of full mooning.

I've had my big trip for this year already. 2 weeks in and around Cape Town at the end of March as a friend of mine got married down there at Easter. An ex-girlfiend has relatives there so I got free accomodation most of the time which helped offset the cost of getting there...although it did mean I had to take the ex with me.

The other problem is that I now have nothing to look forward to for the rest of the year.
