I am toying with going to Morocco for 10 days in October and then Snowboarding somewhere this winter, Dubai is well worth a visit if anybody is thinking of it.

we went to the dominican last year and were really dissapointed with it, the dolphins were cool tho!

in the maldives you can watch the wild dolhpins play from your room! and they play with you as you go out on the boats lol mental!

You didn't like Riu Mambo?

The Maldives sound like an idea place for a honeymoon, need to sort that out for next year.

Holiday fuck off

why would you wake up at some odd time drive fooking miles to a airport wait for fooking ages at a airport, take your fucking underpants off and chuck them in a plastic box and put aftershave in a little plastic bag and watch it go though a machine. Get on a plane with a bunch of cunts. Land get on a bus and drive for fooking hours get to your room its ok, but would rather be at home. Spend and fooken fortune and not realy gain any real pleasure. Then do the same getting back.

I really thought humans were better than animals but I must be wrong we still mirgrate for no reason.

omg YES!

the problem is, like we have now, nowhere else ever lives up to it, so be preparedt o never enjoy any holiday after you go, unless you go back there!

no other place like it on this earth!

you have plenty of time together to relax, plenty of romantic mesls with the sea lapping over your toes on the beach as the guys in the resturant set it up for you etc

imagen, it gets dark you go down to the jetty in my pic above, sit and dangle your legs over the edge, watch 5-6ft reef sharks chasing and feeding below your feet,

i will ever ever forget my time there, the sea is just amazing, seriously ispent 8 hours a day in the sea, playing with fish, sharks, moray eels etc !

Yep did the surf machine, fortunately lasted longer than most so did not make a total twat of myself, the Snowdone is really cool the bar is worth checking out for the view definately, l just found alcohol exspensive in the resort, having said that the breakfasts were great.
