right,with the amount off people on here we should get a good variation..
me and trace went to the maldives last year.stunning!going to italy in a while and then next year we are off to florida for traceys choice but after that i have the choice of where we go.now i have a few ideas and want to see alot of places but where have you lot been and loved and what sites have you seen?

 

i've just spent 2 weeks in the Aventura Spa Palace in Mexico, absolutely EVERYTHING all inclusive, no children it was luxurious bliss! think the web address is www.sparesorts.com

 

dvid
traceys sister and bro-in-law go to mexico.im sure i will go there at some point.meant to be lovely.how was your time there?did you get up to much?

 

It was awesome, we both worked our nuts off to afford wedding / honeymoon so we didn't do much, just sat by the pool (sun loungers were partially submerged!) and the waitresses just brought me beer all day! we did swim with dolphins which was an awesome experience, other than that we had no need to leave, although they do lay on a free bus to any of the other palace resorts up the east coast that you can use all inclusive too

 

We going to LA, Las Vegas and San Francisco next October


Booking with www.virginholidays.co.uk

 

sounds like my sort of holiday mate. and i'd love to swim with the dolphins! maybe i will soon.

 

It was $139 each, to give you an idea, all booked through a tour operator. We also got 2 free excursions, went to a water park and couldn't be arsed to leave the luxury to go on another.

Youmight also like the all inclusive tequila, Bacardi, brandy and whisky in our room!

 

drink?nah im a tea totaler. oh no hang on you said whiskey! maybe not tea total then! love the stuff.

 

Egypt You can get a fantastic pre arranged 2 week tour of the 'best bits' through Kuoni Tour Operators. Accomodation is all 5*, includes a mini nile cruise and there are no words to describe the sites you get to see and the service you get.

Alternatively if you're not into the site seeing thing and just want a 5* relaxing holiday with fantastic Scuba & Snorkeling reefs then Hurgada in Egypt has huge hotel resorts with private beaches and private islands, I can personally recommend The Marriot. I was lucky enough to see Dolphins & a Sea Turtle whilst snorkeling in the middle of the Ocean, breath taking doesn't even cover it

 

We've just come back from Vegas... fantastic place even if you arent a gambler. plenty to do and see. Took a helicopter ride over the hoover dam and then set down in the grand canyon for a champagne lunch (with a couple of mexicans who drunk FAR too much tequila lol). Weather is great all year round as you would expect being in the desert. its a very dry arrid heat out there though. Would definately go back, just wouldnt fly with United ever again... but thats a whole different story!

Thailand is very nice. very different culture, but once you settle into it and find your feet, its a great place, people are really nice and its a beautiful country in places. Bangkok is very hectic though lol!

Australia is worth a visit too. but you'll need more than a couple of weeks to take in everything over there. SO much to see. i didnt have time to do everything when i was over there so hopefully Cola and myself will be going over next year to see Pops and some more sites!

New York is a good place to go, but being a city you can come back more tired than when you left lol!

Ive not been on a safari holiday, but its on my list of places to go. i would imagine thats would be like being on a different planet lol!

 

Clare

i have a mate who's just been to egypt.he said its lovely but tracey has been before and isnt keen on it again,which is fair enough i spose.

 

Daveyboy

somewhere ive always wanted to go and see is the grand canyon.
i want to places like niagra falls,alcatraz,new york,miami,thailand for a proper thai boxing match,japan/tokyo,switzerland,australia at some point,
i want to see some of the big landmarks to say ive been.life is too short and its such a big world so gaining ideas from people that have done em.

 

We going to do that, cant wait

 

Its a very big Country, do you know which Cities she's been to before? If she went to Cairo then I totally understand, one visit to there is enough for anyone

But Luxor is great for relaxing / some site seeing. Esna is ok, but a bit mad (not Cairo mad tho). I fell in love with Hurgada after spending the last 3 days of our holiday there, the town itself is like desert with the odd building site, but the coastline is dotted with some of the most amazing hotel complexes I've ever seen.

 

Clare

yes that was def one of them. that bad is it?heard the coppers are tossers out there and love a blonde!

 

Ive seen Niagra falls as well. Best side to see it from is definately the canadian side. If you are on American soil you cant go down the back of the falls, which is a sight to behold! Canada is SOOOO clean its unreal. Other than having a similar accent to the americans, its a very different country. For the better i would say.

5 Days in New York is probably enough to see what you need to see and do some shopping. Its very tiring on the legs lol!

You can see Thai boxing anywhere in Thailand, regardless of what town you're in. Same with ladyboys they're everywhere!

Until recently i never fancied japan/tokyo, but im coming round to it now. dont think i could stay ther for long though, it looks too manic.

I dont have pics on this laptop, but when i get home i'll post up a few of the hoover dam and the grand canyon. they are only 2 weeks old

Im with you on seeing things around the world though. My days of 'avin it' in Beefer are well and truly numbered lol. i would much rather spend my hard earned on travelling a bit and seeing cool stuff

 

Daveyboy
as you mention it i would love canada too,i have a mate who moved out there not long ago,owns a farm there now meant to be huge.
i would love kenya to but thats what tracey mentioned and as its my choice i may hold it off for a while
never been into ibiza etc not my scene. im 29 going on 40 i think

 

Cairo is just bedlam, you've never seen anything like it, roads wide enough for 4 / 5 cars, no lanes just a free for all, and constantly beeping their horns (and I mean constantly, 24/7) as they miss each other by inches and amongst all this mental disorganised chaos of cars, you have donkeys pulling karts piled twice as high again with random items all strapped in with rope and balanced to precision. Very difficult to describe it but to cross the roads on foot you are told to hail a Taxi to take you to the other side, and thats no lie

Not just the coppers who love blondes, all the local men had a facsination with my hair colour, tis a bit scary at times

 

Clare

hmmm i think i,ll avoid there at least then! epsecially with trace as i wouldnt put up with the touchey feeley shit they get upto!

 

im 33 and went last year just for a week in the sun with Cola..... but i didnt make it into one single club retirement cant come quick enough for me

 

Daveyboy
ha ive been like that since i can remember.used to go out to clubs but not often.now im happy with tracey my car and my house and a few nice relaxing hols away.
