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!!!!!!!

We'll be about 1.5 hours drive south of Naples. I'm well up for going to see some american sport too. Drinking in the stands. cashback :beers

Its pretty quiet where we'll be, but with the boat it dosnt matter. Take some beers out with us and heard to a beach on an island just off the mainland in the gulf of mexico. we had dolphins swimming right under our boat at one stage last year. They left when I tried to join them though. Anti-social wankers.

i'd rather play cricket every day than go on holiday

my last a-level exam is on the 23rd of June. 2 days before my 18th. now thats a double whammy cause for celebration if ever i've seen one

are you guna play for a first class team boeta? i finish my a levels on 24th june i think. not sure

[Boeta]

one of the gloucs u16s coaches (edit: who coached at some nets i went to) said i should be playing gloucs u19s, in the winter. im not too fussed though, i love playing at cirencester

[Iffy's Onion Bhaji]

fair enough. do you bat or bowl? im pretty good but cant be bothered to play for a team

[Boeta]

im an opening batsman, you?

[Iffy's Onion Bhaji]

bowler/ all rounder when i feel like batting. aint played for a while though (i mean like a year) so im probably not very good until i start playing a lot again.

ost, try this for an idea, a nice 10 day break is madeira/porto santo, firstly spend 5/6 days on the island of madeira which is a mental volcanic place covered in rain forest, its spring time all year round so it might well rain but the island has loads to see and funchal the capital is a nice little city, after that go to the neighbouring island of porto santo, which is a tiny place with a beautiful beach very very quiet and very warm.

top tip, only pay for a flight only to funchal, the packages are expensive, me and my ex paid £250 each for flights got a cab into funchal and ended up in a lovely hotel overlooking the cathedral for a fiver a night.
also only book porto santo when you get to madeira as the difference in price to booking here is ridiculous. you can get a good package deal in funchal harbour.
hope this is a help

We went to Madeira a few years ago.  It was pretty cool (I've not heard of Porto Santo though, which is surprising).  The scenery is absolutely spectacular - like the Alps without the snow and the roads all have gradients of about 1 in 2 and are only wide enough for one car.  We went to see Maritimo play Boavista and it was probably the most boring game in the history of football!  Still, I could drink Sagres the whole game so wasn't complaining   Their ground is only a running track with a few seats scattered around it (a bit like the Withdean in fact) but if there is a ground in a more amazing setting I would like to see it!  The other thing that sticks in my mind is the local delicacy of espada (A kind of black eel like fish with big fuck off teeth) and bananas (!!!!) I gave that a miss

Kavos, Corfu with 7 mates.  330 quid, not bad, plenty of money left for booze.  Am staying there a week, going in first week of August.  It's gonna be superhot.  :?

I went to Kavos, good fun, but it smells.

Why does every thread spiral into a boring cricket dialogue these days?
