Default 2008 Holidays

Has anyone booked to go away yet? I am deciding on where to go this year, went to Majorca last year and loved it.
Any great holiday destinations people know of?

Im going skiing on the 17th Jan next year for my first time ever... think the place is called livigno.. cant wait already. Got any tips on how not to break my legs haha

If you want a really quiet holiday then try portinatx in Ibiza.... really nice surroundings with fantastic beaches for kids. Its nothing like San Antonio

Going to Paris in April with my mum - we're going to see the Louvre / Mona Lisa / Venus de Milo (bit of a closet culture vulture at times ) and in June off to the Millau Bridge as I want to drive over it and see it. Lads roadtrip - few of us going who are into that stuff. Should be a good laugh. Will try and get away later in the year too but nothing booked yet.

Just think its mad... Much better places to go, see do for half as much.


Saying that i did do Ibiza. Done it once clubs was good. But was like blackpool with sun. Done it never do it again. Though Cafe Del Mar was fookin cool. Best part

Rhys Id be happy to spend that again. I dont limit myself on holiday with money, I cant seem to have a good time knowing how much I got left, Id rather just spend and be comfy.


Will be doing this some time this year hopefully

I like to be the same, worst thing is being on holiday and worrying about how much you have left! Hopefully £1400 will be enough but you've put doubt in me now
